Watch: Ohio State football commits in action during opening week

This past weekend was the beginning of high school football and our first glimpse at Ohio State football commitments back in action.

We already highlighted 2026 wide receiver commit Chris Henry Jr., but that was because he played on Thursday when not many other teams were on the gridiron. It wasn’t just Henry Jr. that got some earlier love, 2024 quarterback Air Noland was on the national spotlight and helped lead his team to a huge season opening win.

The majority of the rest of the class got their seasons started on Friday and Saturday and here are some of the top performances from Ohio State commits.

Wide receiver Jeremiah Smith

Breakdown

Smith is one of the top players in the country, holding 5-star status and backed it up with this play.

Cornerback Aaron Scott

Breakdown

Although Scott isn’t a 5-star like this account claims, he’s close and with more plays like this he could get there.

More from Scott Jr.

Breakdown

Not a clip of Scott in action, but more reassurance that he is firmly committed to the Buckeyes after a heated recruiting battle.

Wide receiver Mylan Graham

Breakdown

The other 5-star receiver in the 2024 class also had a big gainer, showing his game breaking ability.

Offensive tackle Marc Nave

Breakdown

Many were wondering which position Nave will play at the next level and him repping at left tackle could be telling.

Offensive linemen Devontae and Deontae Armstrong

Breakdown

The twins looked aggressive and agile in this clip — more good news.

Tight end Damarion Witten

Breakdown

I will die on this hill, Witten is the best receiving tight end prospect Ohio State has ever received a commitment from.

Cornerback Bryce West

Breakdown

West and Witten scored a huge win for Glenville, defeating Dinwiddie (VA) 36-13.
