2025 cornerback Jordyn Woods flips from Cincinnati and commits to Ohio State.
After 13 straight weeks ranked in the AP poll, Ohio State has fallen out of the top 25 following the final week of the regular season.
The Buckeyes started last week with a 78-70 loss to Nebraska on Tuesday, but responded with an impressive 11-point win over Michigan State on Thursday. The Buckeyes closed out their regular season schedule with a six-point loss to Michigan despite star center Hunter Dickinson being sidelined for the Wolverines.
Now the No. 6 seed in the upcoming Big Ten Tournament, Ohio State will take on the winner of Wednesday's Minnesota-Penn State matchup at 9 p.m. on Thursday in Indianapolis.
