Ohio State receives a crystal ball pick for five-star 2026 quarterback

It’s safe to say Ohio State football is in pretty good hands with its quarterback position for years to come.

Air Noland, a five-star, signed in the 2024 class. Tavien St. Clair, a potential five-star, is committed in the 2025 cycle, and it looks as if the Buckeyes could add another five-star in 2026.

On Saturday morning, 247Sports director of recruiting Steve Wiltfong put in a crystal ball pick for Tennessee quarterback Jared Curtis to commit to Ohio State. The 6-foot, 3-inch, 210-pound prospect is ranked as the No. 2 player at his position and 20th overall on the 247Sports composite.

Wiltfong goes on to say Curtis will likely make a decision soon (subscription required), and the he likes the “game plan they go into each game with and the way they use their players is what makes them (Ohio State) special.”

The Buckeyes are battling multiple top schools for Curtis’ commitment, but appear to be in the driver’s seat.
