The Buckeyes' 2017 recruiting class still sits atop the national team rankings. The class features 17 commitments, three of whom hail from the powerhouse Las Vegas Bishop Gorman program. On Friday, in the midst of yet another undefeated season, the trio of Buckeye commits – along with another top target – received their Army All-American jerseys.

Four-star defensive tackle Haskell Garrett got things started in February when he announced his intentions to play for the Buckeyes. The commitment was a surprise to many, and a very pleasant one to Ohio State fans who watched a number of top 2016 defensive tackles end up signing elsewhere.
Even before backing off of his Texas A&M pledge, Tate Martell visited Ohio State with his family in March. He opened his recruitment back up in May and then would return to Columbus in June. It was at that time the Buckeyes landed yet another top-rated signal-caller. Martell checks in as the nation's No. 2 dual-threat quarterback and has been one of the more active recruiters in the entire class.
Four-star wideout Tyjon Lindsey, the nation's top slot receiver, made his intentions known in late-August with a dual commitment video alongside five-star wideout Trevon Grimes. The shifty, 5-foot-9 pass-catcher is extremely close with Bubba Bolden, the country's ninth-rated safety. Ohio State hosted the Bishop Gorman crew for last weekend's Nebraska massacre, and now they wait to see if they can go four for four with the Las Vegas All-Americans.
The Gorman standouts should have three more games together as they look to finish off another undefeated season and a third-straight National Championship. Next week they're set to host No. 2 seed Faith Lutheran in the Sunset Region semifinal.
