Ohio State aims for five-star recruits David Gabriel Georges and Marcus Fakatou

Ohio State is trending positively for five-star recruits David Gabriel Georges and Marcus Fakatou as the 2027 recruiting class develops. Georges, a highly sought-after running back from Tennessee, is expected to make his official commitment on July 22, with Ohio State currently leading predictions for his signing. The Buckeyes have also made significant strides with Fakatou, a top defensive lineman who recently completed official visits at Ohio State, Texas, and Georgia, but canceled planned trips to Oregon and Notre Dame. Both athletes are among Ohio State's key targets as they work to strengthen their recruiting class ahead of National Signing Day.
