ADVANTAGE: Ohio State's Larry Johnson Remains a Major Recruiting Asset

Ohio State Buckeyes lean on Larry Johnson’s legendary track record as they chase elite defensive line recruits. Can his decades of success at Ohio State and Penn State keep the Buckeyes at the top of the college football recruiting world? The conversation focused on how Johnson’s credibility, development of stars like Chase Young and the Bosa brothers, and unique ability to maximize talent continues to pay dividends, especially with top prospects like D.J. Jacobs and Wyatt Smith already committed.

The discussion explored the impact of having two former NFL head coaches—Matt Patricia and Arthur Smith—as coordinators, and whether that edge translates on the recruiting trail. Several points were raised, including skepticism about Cortez Hankton’s early results as wide receivers coach and speculation on whether a heavier reliance on the transfer portal is looming. Is Ohio State’s patient approach with recruits enough, or will fans demand quicker results in one of the game’s most competitive environments?
