Ohio State's highly-anticipated rivalry game with Michigan is approaching fast, and with the strong possibility both teams are undefeated heading into the matchup, it's going to be the hottest ticket in town.
From a recruiting standpoint, it could rival even that of the Notre Dame game when all is said and done, which had endless highly touted prospects in attendance. Visitors are being confirmed for that weekend by the day, so I put together a table with each expected visitor sorted by their 247Sports composite ranking in each of the 2023, 2024 and 2025 recruiting classes.
We'll have a piece that goes into what's at stake for the weekend from a recruiting standpoint that runs the day before The Game, but in the meantime, a full table of expected visitors is compiled below. Keep in mind, this list is going to be pretty fluid throughout the week-and-a-half leading up to the game, and we'll add names/take names off as new intel becomes available. Names were compiled from a combination of our own intel, reports from other outlets and announcements from recruits themselves. OSU commits are highlighted.
Before getting straight into the list, a few quick notes:
- 2024 prospect Ellis Robinson IV has yet to confirm his visit, so I have removed him off the list.
- 2024 prospect Nigel Smith has told me he will not attend this game, so I have removed him from the list.
- 2025 five-star wideout Jaime Ffrench Jr. was reported as a possibility for this game in our composite fall visitors list, but has told me he will not be in attendance for this game because he'll be in Alabama instead. He hopes to get back to OSU soon.
- There's yet to be confirmation on Samson Okunlola, so he has come off the list. I've held off on including the likes of Caleb Downs, Rueben Owens and other players potentially considering visits until more information becomes available.
- Tyseer Denmark committed to Oregon Thursday, so he has been removed from the list.
