The Opening released its rosters for the finals at the end of the month, and as usual, one team is particularly Buckeye-heavy.
Team Backpack (the six teams are named after different emojis) features four Ohio State commits: four-star Jack Miller, five-star receiver Julian Fleming, four-star receiver Gee Scott Jr. and four-star safety Lejond Cavazos.

The roster also features a pair of Buckeye targets at running back: the nation's top running back Zachary Evans and four-star all-purpose back Jaylan Knighton.
Team Backpack is the most Buckeye-heavy team, but there are Ohio State commits and targets throughout the other rosters as well.
Ohio State's newest commitment, four-star cornerback Clark Phillips, joins Buckeye targets five-star running back Kendall Milton, four-star linebacker Cody Simon, four-star receiver KeAndre Lambert and recent Michigan commit and Ohio State four-star safety target Jordan Morant on Team Wave.
