According to 247Sports, the Ohio State Buckeyes currently have the third-ranked recruiting class for 2026. The Buckeyes still haven’t signed a quarterback, the most crucial position in football, despite having 13 pledges already.
In the 2026 cycle, Ohio State’s quarterback recruitment process has been an interesting one. The Buckeyes have lost out on a number of prospects, and the majority of the best quarterbacks are already committed elsewhere.

He is anticipated to lag behind sophomore Julian Sayin for at least a year after securing five-star Tavien St. Clair in the 2025 class. Any well-known quarterback entering the game is aware that it will probably be more than a season before they see the pitch.
However, if they want to step up their pursuit, Ohio State has surfaced as a possible destination for a young four-star quarterback. On3, the Buckeyes will officially welcome four-star quarterback Luke Fahey from Mission Viejo, California, on June 20. Although Ohio State has not officially extended an offer to Fahey, that could soon change.
Ohio State is a “dream school,” according to Fahey, who told On3 that if the Buckeyes make an offer, they might overtake the California quarterback as the front-runner. According to the 247Sports Composite rankings, he is listed as the nation’s 23rd quarterback and 355th overall player.
Fahey has already received offers from Auburn, Oklahoma State, Stanford, and Indiana. The gifted signal-caller’s impressive sophomore campaign, in which he threw 26 touchdown passes against only six interceptions, put him on the recruiting radar. He backed that up with 17 touchdown passes and zero interceptions the previous season.
Fahey might be the quarterback Ohio State selects in the 2026 class, so this will be a recruitment to keep a close eye on.
