COLUMBUS, Ohio — After winning college football’s first-ever playoff, Urban Meyer proclaimed that the month leading up to national signing day would be a “monthlong infomercial for Ohio State.”
On Wednesday, the Buckeyes head coach backed up his words.
The rich got richer in Columbus on national signing day this year, with Meyer adding the nation’s sixth-ranked recruiting class to a roster that will return 14 starters from last season’s national title team. With its 2015 class filling up relatively early, Ohio State still managed to add four recruits between the championship game and signing day, with Meyer holding off multiple attempts from fellow top-tier programs trying to flip the Buckeyes’ commits.
As a result, Ohio State hauled in another top-six nationally-ranked class, despite this year originally being projected as one of the smaller classes since Meyer arrived in Columbus. The Buckeyes have added some players who should make an instant impact and others who could serve as cornerstones of the program in the long term, which should mesh well with what could be the nation’s top-rated class in 2016.
That, however, is still a year away. So with the Buckeyes’ newest 27 players still in mind, here are my top takeaways from Ohio State’s 2015 class.
