Ohio State isn't making its interest in five-star 2025 guard Darryn Peterson a secret.

A source told Eleven Warriors Sunday that Chris Holtmann and three of his assistant coaches are all present to watch the No. 3 overall player in the country play at the Adidas 3SSB event in Rock Hill, South Carolina.

The Cuyahoga Valley Christian Academy product is the top prospect in Ohio and the No. 1 shooting guard in the country. Peterson was part of the Team USA U16 roster that won the gold medal in the FIBA Americas Championship last month, averaging 16.8 points in 17.7 minutes per game across six appearances.

The Buckeyes don't yet have a 2025 commit, and despite the national attention Peterson has garnered, it's safe to say he'll remain among Ohio State's highest-priority recruits in the cycle.
