It’s time to make it all official for Ohio State football and its recruiting efforts for the 2024 class.
Wednesday is the beginning of the early signing period and it has replaced the traditional national signing day in February as the time in which most players sign on the dotted line to make it official with good ‘ole State U.
We’re following along as each Buckeye recruit gets the fax machines humming (yes, those still exist) with signatures and the official pledge to wear the scarlet and gray on what we consider a bit of an unofficial college football holiday.
Stay with us as each recruit is announced as signing their national letter of intent with our early signing period tracker, updated in a real-time fashion as quickly as our little fingers can get it up there and published. All told, we expect 22 players to join the 2024 recruiting class Wednesday and will be there for any surprises — good, bad, or indifferent.
