Four-star Richfield offensive tackle Ben Christman has committed to Ohio State, the 2021 prospect announced via Twitter.

Christman chose the Buckeyes over offers from Alabama, Georgia, Florida, LSU, Michigan and Michigan State. 

The Christman File

  • Class: 2021
  • Size: 6-foot-6, 299 lbs.
  • Pos: OT
  • School: Revere (Richfield, Ohio)
  • Composite Rating: ★★★★
  • Composite Rank: 9 (OT)

The second-ranked 2021 Ohio prospect was in Columbus for a visit in March during spring practice, and he was one of many visitors during Ohio State's big June 21 weekend. 

Christman is the fourth commitment in Ohio State's 2021 recruiting class. With his pledge, the Buckeyes now have three of the top-five Ohioans in his class wrapped up, including the top two players in the state.

As a sophomore, Christman was named Third Team All-State and First Team All-District.

OHIO STATE 2021 COMMITS
NAME POSITION OVERALL RANKING POSITION RANKING DATE OF COMMITTMENT
JACK SAWYER DE No. 2 No. 1 FEB 3, 2019
KYLE MCCORD QB No. 51 No. 5 (PRO-STYLE) APRIL 30, 2019
JAYDEN BALLARD WR No. 110 No. 20 JUNE 21, 2019
BEN CHRISTMAN OT No. 44 No. 9 JUNE 26, 2019

As with most offensive linemen, he will likely need to take a redshirt year to develop his body into more of a Big Ten frame. But at 6-foot-6 and nearly 300 pounds, he gives Mickey Marotti and the training staff a massive from to work with. 

Ohio State has the third-ranked 2021 class in the nation and the top-ranked class in the Big Ten.
