Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and that is no different for Ohio State’s 2024 recruiting class.
Multiple services updated their prospect rankings, and On3 has followed suit after the summer camp season is over. The newest outlet to have a national pull, it ranks players much differently than other sites do.
It is not bad to get another breakdown of a prospect, so with an updated On300 ranking, some prospects aren’t as high or as low as we have seen before. Find out below where each Ohio State 2024 commit landed on its list as the season draws closer.
No. 2 - Wide receiver Jeremiah Smith
Blessed 🙏🏾 https://t.co/7jnkuh4TlB

Thoughts
This makes sense for Smith, he’s one of the top players in the country regardless of position. His name, image and likeness value is through the roof at $459,000.
No. 5 - Defensive tackle Justin Scott
🚨NEW🚨 Ohio State DL commit Justin Scott ranks No. 5 and five-stars in the updated 2024 On300🌰https://t.co/0QD17y40UL pic.twitter.com/yqKoRsVTne
— On3 Recruits (@On3Recruits) July 10, 2023
Thoughts
A top-five prospect, Scott is their second-best defensive lineman of the class. His NIL value is a bit lower than Smith’s, $366,000.
No. 12 - Wide receiver Mylan Graham
🚨NEW🚨 Ohio State WR commit Mylan Graham ranks No. 12 and five-stars in the updated 2024 On300🌰https://t.co/ATAcQL28mh pic.twitter.com/q9h4NE3A8g

Thoughts
Another five-star for the Buckeyes? Graham with Smith is the best receiver duo in the nation. His NIL value ($294,000) is lower than the two above him.
No. 43 - Quarterback Air Noland
COME HOME BRO 🏡 > 🅾️ https://t.co/goYJc8X4U8
— Pʀᴇɴᴛɪss Aɪʀ Nᴏʟᴀɴᴅ. (@AirNoland_) July 3, 2023
Thoughts
Noland is the fourth-ranked quarterback and just outside of five-star range. His NIL value ($536,000) is the highest of the committed Buckeyes.
No. 62 - Cornerback Bryce West
Buckeye Nation let’s bring Aaron Home🌰🌰🌰 #GoBucks no fan base better let him know the Buckeye Nation everyone talks about is realllllllll https://t.co/4GSqfTQ3O1

Thoughts
West checks in as the sixth-best corner in the country. His NIL value ($176,000) is significantly lower than his teammates.
No. 69 - Running back Jordan Lyle

Thoughts
It’s a bit of a surprise to see Lyle this high. He’s a great prospect but generally considered the lower of the two Buckeye commits at the position. His NIL value is $89,000.
No. 133 - Running back James Peoples
Go and Follow my IG Buckeye Nation 🌰https://t.co/4slO9R1xy0 pic.twitter.com/xP2GdqLbnm

Thoughts
Swap Lyle with Peoples and you have it correct. Both are good to great prospects but the Texan is better in my eyes. His NIL value is higher as well: $125,000.
No. 158 - Safety Jaylen McClain

Thoughts
One of the newest Ohio State commits, McClain is ranked right where he should be. His NIL value is $67,000.
No. 172 - Linebacker Garrett Stover
After a lot of thought I’ve decided to commit to The Ohio State University! I’d like to thank everyone that has supported me throughout this process and all of the programs that recruited me! #gobucks #BOOM pic.twitter.com/BRBwXn7ODF
— Garrett Stover (@GarrettStover2) November 22, 2022
Thoughts
Stover is a tweener and On3 ranks him as a linebacker. He very well could play safety but he’s still a very solid prospect. Stover’s NIL value is $98,000.
