Buckeyes’ status on potential commitments still up for grabs

It has not been the best close out for Ohio State football and it’s 2024 recruiting class.

The Buckeyes have already seen multiple prospects either flip or choose other schools leaving the coaching staff scrambling to find replacements late in the process. It’s not the best look for one of the strongest supposed recruiting units in college football.

And while we see some of it almost every year, this year feels different on the heels of the program’s third-straight loss to Michigan.

Let’s look at some of the prospects that the Buckeyes are trying to hang onto and ones that they are trying to get to join the class as the early signing period is set to get underway on Wednesday.

After visiting Miami recently, Lyle has reportedly flipped his commitment to the Hurricanes. It looks like Ohio State will miss out on the 4-star back, but we’ll watch to confirm what happens on Wednesday.
