C.J. Hicks
C.J. Hicks is currently Ohio State's highest-rated committed player in the class of 2022.

This little series will follow the rankings of Ohio State's 2022 commitment class and will run on the last Friday of each month...typically.

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.

Five One Note

  1. The 2022 class had zero movement this month. None of the players had their rating improve or decrease during the month of September.
STAR TRACKING

With Ewers reclassifying and Singletary jumping ship, Ryan Day is down to one 5★ recruit in the 2022 class. The last time an Ohio State class finished with a single 5★ recruit was 2016 (Nick Bosa).

Decommitted Players

CB Jaheim Singletary decommitted on August 1, 2021.

TE Benji Gosnell decommitted on July 27, 2021. Gosnell lives in North Carolina and his brother attends UNC. 

DE Dasan McCullough decommitted on April 25, 2021 and pledged to Indiana on the same day.

It's a Fact
This is the first time since May that Ohio State's rankings stayed stagnant.

Four Fast Facts

  1. With the loss of Singletary and reclassification of Ewers, the 2022 class fell from a best in program history player average of 94.67 to 93.92 and fourth best.
  2. Ohio State's 257.13 points is currently has the class as the second best in the B1G and sixth in the nation.
  3. Penn State leads the conference with 274.57 points. However, the Nittany Lions have 25 commits to Ohio State's 14. This lead will not last.
  4.  Since 2000, Ohio State has had the Big Ten's best class 14 times. When this class fills out, 2022 should be the 15th class to take the top spot.
