The busiest recruiting month of the year is underway.
Ohio State has already hosted its first 10 official visitors of June, netting the Buckeyes their first commitment of the month from running back Bo Jackson. Camp season begins at the Woody Hayes Athletic Center on Wednesday as the Buckeyes will host seven high school football camps – five skill camps and two 7-on-7 tournaments – over the next 14 days, and the Buckeyes will host many more of their top targets in the 2025 recruiting class for official visits over the next three weekends.
With so much happening on the recruiting front, Eleven Warriors recruiting reporter Garrick Hodge joins us on Real Pod Wednesdays this week to break down where the Buckeyes stand in their pursuits for their top targets in the 2025 class and what we’ll be watching for during camp season.
