Texas State RB commit Daylon Gordon, a top 2027 Bobcats pledge, flips to Ohio State
It's not often a player's recruiting history includes both Texas State and Ohio State commitments but Daylon Gordon may be a sign of the Bobcats' eye for talent
Texas State football may have demonstrated its recruiting prowess when Daylon Gordon, a former Texas State running back, decided to commit to Ohio State instead. Gordon, a 5-foot-9 senior from Wylie, was initially a three-star recruit but has since been upgraded to a four-star prospect by 247Sports. The 33rd-ranked running back nationally, Gordon rushed for 1,063 yards and 14 touchdowns last season, while also accumulating 565 yards and four touchdowns on 38 receptions.
Gabe Brooks, a scouting analyst for 247, praised Gordon's dynamic playmaking abilities as both a pass catcher and ball carrier, noting his low center of gravity, broad-shouldered stature, and impressive speed and acceleration. Although Gordon received offers from Texas Tech, Utah, Florida State, Ole Miss, and others, Ohio State's interest ultimately secured his commitment.
Texas State remains optimistic, as they still have Isaiah Reed, an athlete out of Hamshire, committed in the class.
