Apr. 1—Ohio State enjoyed a fruitful recruiting weekend and hosted several local high school standouts over the weekend.
Four four-star 2025 prospects, including New Jersey high school teammates DeShawn Stewart and De’zie Jones, issued verbal commitments over the weekend as Ohio State continued spring practice and hosted its annual student appreciation day public practice.
Jones is 6-foot, 180-pound receiver while Stewart is a 6-2, 185-pound safety from DePaul Catholic in Wayne, N.J. They committed Saturday and Sunday, respectively.
