Ohio State secures 2027 running back with commitment flip from Texas State

Ohio State added a significant piece to its 2027 recruiting class when running back Daylon Gordon announced his commitment to the Buckeyes on November 12, 2026, after flipping from Texas State. The four-star prospect, who stands 5-foot-10 and weighs 195 pounds, had been committed to Texas State since June. After an official visit for the Oregon game, Gordon decided Ohio State was the right fit. His versatile skills make him a valuable addition as the Buckeyes aim to strengthen their roster, now standing at 21 commitments for the 2027 class. The staff may continue pursuing additional running back options before the class is finalized.
