BOOOM!!! Ohio State flips 2025 cornerback from Cincinnati

The Buckeyes also added to their visitor list for The Game on Saturday.

Ohio State added to its already loaded 2025 recruiting class late Monday night when it was able to flip three-star cornerback Jordyn Woods (Cartersville, GA / Cartersville) from Cincinnati.

Woods had been committed to the Bearcats since June 25, but despite the pledge, his recruitment remained open. Ohio State was not alone in their flip pursuit, and the Buckeyes played host to Woods on Oct. 26 for the Nebraska game for an unofficial visit.

The visit went as well as possible and Woods returned for an official visit last weekend when Ohio State hosted Indiana. The visit was for the full weekend and took place over multiple days. By the end of the trip, Woods was ready to announce his new commitment to the Buckeyes.

Woods will join fellow 2025 cornerbacks Devin Sanchez and Na’eem Offord, making for a solid recruiting haul at the position for the Buckeyes. While there has long been talk regarding the strength of Offord’s commitment to the Buckeyes and whether or not he will flip himself, Ohio State has been looking to add depth to the position group in this class, and Woods became the priority late in the cycle.

Woods is the No. 117 CB in the 247Sports Composite Rankings and is the No. 1273 overall prospect. He is also the No. 143 recruit out of Georgia.

Ohio State’s visitor list for ‘The Game’ continues to grow

Ohio State sits at 10-1 entering ‘The Game’ this Saturday, following what might have been the most impressive showing by this Ohio State team. The Buckeyes led by Ryan Day took down a red-hot Indiana team 38-15 last weekend. Ohio State dominated the ball on both sides of the field and the team played with a level of intensity that felt long missing.

While the victory was impressive and Ohio State should be proud of the showing, the team will not be resting on its laurels this week. Ohio State is set up to host arch-rival Michigan this weekend. The weather is predicted to be extremely cold, but Ohio Stadium will be full regardless.

Buckeye Nation will not be alone in attendance early Saturday, as the Buckeyes are gearing up for a large recruiting weekend. It is no secret the environment that this game creates, and the electric feel in unmatched across maybe all sports. Because of this, Ohio State will be playing host to a large number of recruits across multiple classes. Additionally, the talent on board will be some of the best high school football players across the country.

The visitor list will continue to grow as we get closer to Saturday noon, and Monday was no different. Below are just some of the recruits to make it known Monday that they will be in Columbus this weekend for the game.

Of the above, and outside of Jamier Brown as he just committed to Ohio State last weekend, five-star signal caller Brady Edmunds is the most likely to commit to the Buckeyes.

Edmunds visited with Ohio State earlier this season on Oct. 5 when Ohio State played host to Iowa. Additionally, Edmunds has also stated a desire to make a commitment sooner than later. Because of this, if the weekend’s visit is another successful one, the Buckeyes could cement themselves as the overwhelming favorite.

Edmunds is the No. 2 QB in the 247Sports Composite Rankings and is the No. 10 overall prospect. He is also the No. 3 recruit out of the talent-rich state of California.

Quick Hits

• Ohio State’s 2025 recruiting class is all but settled and currently sits atop the 247Sports Class Rankings. The Buckeyes have a small number of recruits they are still targeting to close out the class, and one of those was four-star Auburn DL commit Malik Autry. However, on Monday Autry announced he was sticking with his pledge to the Tigers and shutting down his recruitment.
