BOOOM! Ohio State flips 2027 in-state linebacker

Ohio State lands the latest member of its 2027 recruiting class by flipping in-state linebacker James Conrad away from Buffalo

BOOOM! Ohio State flips 2027 in-state linebacker

The 2027 Ohio State recruiting class is nearing completion, and the Buckeyes have added a promising linebacker from Cleveland's St. Ignatius. James Conrad, a 6-foot-3, 225 pound athlete, quickly committed to Ohio State after the Buckeyes showed interest. Conrad, who had been committed to Buffalo since the summer, visited the campus during a Maryland game last Saturday and impressed the coaching staff.

Now the 20th member of Ohio State's nationally ranked sixth-class, Conrad brings a versatile skillset to the defense and has significant upside. While he may be under the radar with his ranking, Conrad received a positive endorsement from the coaching staff and has proven himself as a top-tier talent.
