Urban Meyer and Ohio State are only a week separated from signing their 27-member class for 2015, but that doesn’t mean the Buckeyes aren’t hard at work preparing for the 2016 recruiting cycle.
In fact, Meyer has already secured commitments from six blue-chip prospects, a group that currently ranks third nationally.
According to Ohio State’s official website, the Buckeyes will only have 12 seniors on scholarship this year. Of course, Joey Bosa and Ezekiel Elliott are nearly locks to enter the draft after their junior seasons—and players such as Cardale Jones, Michael Thomas and Vonn Bell (among others) will have NFL decisions to make.
With the graduating seniors, early departures to the NFL and annual and inevitable attrition, the Buckeyes should have room for about 20 freshmen in their 2016 class.
