A priority five-star Ohio State target in the 2024 class has confirmed he’ll be in attendance he’ll be at Ohio State’s highly-anticipated matchup with Michigan on Nov. 26.
Georgia safety KJ Bolden confirmed to Eleven Warriors he plans on visiting Columbus for the Buckeyes’ rivalry game.
“Yes, I’ll be there,” Bolden said Wednesday.
Bolden has visited OSU once already this year, attending the season opener against Notre Dame. The 6-foot-1, 185-pound prospect had a memorable experience on his trip.
“The visit to Columbus was nothing but electric from the time I arrived in Columbus until I left the next day. It was nothing but amazing,” Bolden told Eleven Warriors in September. “I love the brotherhood and just how they play together. The Silver Bullets are going to be a problem for any offense this season. They played great last night. The highlight of my trip was being able to witness 108,000 fans cheering on the Buckeyes in the prime time game for Labor Day Weekend to kick off the football season.”

Bolden is considered the fourth-best prospect nationally and the top-rated safety in the 2024 class per 247Sports’ composite rankings. Both Ryan Day and safeties coach Perry Eliano, who is Bolden’s cousin, visited the highly-coveted prospect’s high school during Ohio State’s off week to check in on him and several other high-priority recruits. To this point, Bolden has helped lead Buford High School (Buford, Georgia) to an undefeated 9-0 record.
Ryan Montgomery to visit OSU Nov. 26
Bolden won’t be the only premier prospect in attendance for The Game. Ohio State 2025 quarterback target Ryan Montgomery has announced he’ll take one more visit to Columbus this fall, as he’ll visit Columbus for the Michigan game on Nov. 26. Montgomery previously made a gameday visit to OSU for the season opener on Sept. 3.

The 6-foot-2, 200-pound quarterback plans on visiting Georgia this weekend for the Bulldogs’ massive game against Tennessee, and his brother, Ohio State 2023 four-star offensive lineman commit Luke Montgomery, will join him. But before social media went into a hysterical frenzy, Luke put out a disclaimer on social media that he’s only attending the game as a guest of his brother and not as a recruit and remains fully locked in with OSU. Ryan will also visit Clemson and Kentucky before taking his final gameday visit of the season to OSU.
I will be attending the Georgia game this weekend as a GUEST VISITOR of my brother Ryan! Not going as a recruit! Go Bucks no one should be worried

Both 2025 quarterback prospects Ohio State has offered are scheduled to attend the Buckeyes’ rivalry game, as Florida five-star prospect Colin Hurley has also made plans to visit Columbus for the regular season finale.
Over the summer, Montgomery said he might consider committing to a school after his sophomore year but has since cooled on that idea.
“Most likely not anymore,” Montgomery told Eleven Warriors last month on if a commitment sometime next summer was still possible. “I’ll most likely narrow it down, whether that’s publicly or just within our family. But I’ll definitely cut down the list before next season. From a commitment standpoint, I’m not so sure because after taking all these visits again, it just shows how tough of a decision it will be and I don’t want to rush it.”
Winston confirms visit for Michigan game
If you thought the third section of this Hurry-Up would be another confirmation of a recruit planning to visit Michigan, congratulations, you’re correct. Georgia 2025 tight end Emaree Winston also confirmed to Eleven Warriors that he plans to attend the final home game of the year.
“I will be looking for a great atmosphere, and I know that the Shoe is going to be rocking with every seat in the stadium taken,” Winston said.
Winston visited Ohio State for a recruiting camp in early June, then picked up an offer from the program a few weeks later on June 28.
