While Ohio State is still putting the finishing touches on the 2026 class and has the framework in place for the 2027 class, the Buckeyes just got their first commitment for the 2028 cycle with the addition of Florida running back Elijah Newman-Hill.
Out of Tampa, Florida, it’s still too early for Hill to be ranked by the major recruiting services but you can bet if Ohio State offered and accepted a commitment from a kid that doesn’t graduate until 2028, the coaching staff must be impressed with what it sees. And for Hill, the feeling must be mutual if he was ready to get on board shortly after attending one of the camps at Ohio State.
Though Hill plays on both sides of the ball in high school, there’s no doubt he’s being looked at as a running back for OSU. This past season, he carried the ball 80 times for 829 yards for Blake High School.
It’s pretty early on in the 2028 recruiting class, and more than ever, in today’s age, it’ll still take a lot to keep him in the recruiting class.
