Devonta Smith
CB Devonta Smith (.8843) walked away from his commitment to Ohio State on 6/25. Four days later he committed to Alabama.

This little series follows the rankings of Ohio State's 2021 commitment class.

It is always interesting to see the ups and downs that each player's ratings will take between now and the first Wednesday of February.

  • Since February, Donovan Jackson and Sam Hart are the only Ohio State commits to never have their ratings decrease. 
  • Ben Christman lost 67 rating points since April.
  • Devonta Smith became the first Buckeye player in the 2021 class to decommit.

Ryan Day already has four 5★ recruits in the 2021 class. The only Ohio State recruiting classes to have four or more 5★ recruits were 2002 (4), 2008 (4) and 2017 (5).

Kyle McCord was impressive during the Elite 11 Finals. Will his ratings see an appropriate increase next month?
