Ohio State prioritizes 2028 in-state defensive lineman Thomas Minor

Ohio State is placing significant focus on Thomas Minor, a defensive lineman from Big Walnut High School, as they build their 2028 recruiting class. Minor, ranked as the No. 490 player nationally, is in ongoing contact with coach Larry Johnson, who is communicating with him daily. He has received multiple offers from various schools but remains a key target for the Buckeyes. Minor plans to visit Columbus for the rivalry game against Michigan on November 28, a critical opportunity for Ohio State to strengthen their recruitment efforts. Meanwhile, the program gears up for an important home game this weekend, hosting several top 2028 prospects, including five-star receiver target Madoxx Davis.
