Ohio State extended a scholarship offer to Zion Coger, a four-star running back from Jasper, Alabama, as part of their 2028 recruiting efforts. This follows a strong commitment class for 2027, which currently includes 19 verbal commitments. Coger is ranked as the No. 9 running back in the 247Sports Composite and holds multiple offers from several other programs including Alabama and LSU. With Ohio State focusing heavily on securing talent for the upcoming recruiting cycle, they aim to bolster their depth at the running back position, especially after missing out on five-star prospect David Gabriel Georges. Coger's recruitment is competitive, and the Buckeyes will likely seek to bring him in for a game day visit to strengthen their chances.
