Ohio State Recruiting Insider: Are The Buckeyes Going All-In At Defensive Tackle?

The Ohio State Buckeyes are loaded at defensive end in the 2027 recruiting class, but only have a commitment from one defensive tackle.

That could all change in 2028, when Larry Johnson and the Buckeyes already have a commitment from 5-star DT Jameer Whyce, and are in position to make a run at four other top-100 defensive tackles in the class. 

Juck Miletti, the recruiting insider at BuckeyeInsiders.com, joins host Tom Orr to discuss Ohio State's pursuit of:

• 5-star DT Kellen Hall out of Kentucky, ranked as the top DT in the nation for 2028
• 5-star DT Tyzon Swann out of Maryland, ranked as the No. 2 DT in the 2028 class
• Top-100 DT Nikolas Stevens from Maryland, who plays at Chase Young's high school
• Top-100 DT Aedyn Havili from Washington, who plays at JT Tuimoloau's high school
