  "account": "Ohio State football team has offered four-star running back Zion Coger, from Jasper, Alabama, on Monday. The offer comes as Ohio State continues to focus on recruiting for the 2028 cycle, where the team is off to a strong start with commitments from three five-star prospects and one four-star running back, Elijah Newman-Hall. With no commitment at the running back position for the 2028 cycle, Ohio State is keen to add a talented back to their class before the signing day. Coger is currently ranked No. 9 at running back in the 247Sports Composite and No. 8 nationally, making him an attractive prospect for the Buckeyes. He is also the No. 8 recruit out of Alabama.",
  "summary": "The Ohio State men’s basketball Buckeyes will also officially host a 4-star guard in November.",
