Ohio State offers pair of visiting 2026 offensive linemen during spring practice

The Buckeyes are staying active on the trail, dishing out multiple offers on Wednesday in the 2026 class.

With spring practice well underway, it’s been fun to see Ohio State back on the field… even if it’s in limited drills. There is talent all over the place, including the newly arrived freshmen, and the Buckeyes will once again be among the most talented rosters in the country with plenty to play for.

Off the field, these spring practices present major recruiting opportunities for the coaching staff, and Wednesday was no different. Whether it be visits or new offers going out, there’s no down time for Ohio State on and off the field.

Buckeyes dish out new offer to 2026 offensive linemen

New offensive line coach Tyler Bowen is making his rounds in the recruiting world. Offering new players and making sure to keep relationships with the guys already targeted before his arrival, the plan in place seems to lead to a casting a wider net than in years past. Nothing shows that better than two offers going out on Tuesday to a pair of 2026 offensive tackle prospects.

First on the list and making an unofficial visit, Florida native Chancellor Campbell made the trek to see Ohio State and came away with the latest offer to his name. The No. 617 player nationally and the No. 50 offensive tackle per the 247Sports Composite, Campbell has nearly 20 offers in total.

A 6-foot-8, 295 pound offensive tackle, the size alone sticks out, but seeing schools such as Florida, Miami, Penn State, Texas A&M, and others pulling the trigger makes sense for the Buckeyes to join the fold. This is a name worth keeping track of moving forward as the offensive line continues to be a priority in the 2026 cycle.

Next on the board, Ohio State also saw fit to extend another offer in the 2026 class to Arizona native, Aaron Thomas. A 6-foot-7, 285 pound tackle with 20 offers to his name and a three-star ranking, Ohio State was able to host Thomas as well for an unofficial visit on Wednesday during practice.

The No. 546 player nationally and No. 47 tackle per the 247Sports Composite, Thomas currently holds offers from the likes of Arizona, Arkansas, Cal, Texas A&M, and Washington in addition to Ohio State. From the jump, it wouldn’t be a stretch to say the Buckeyes are the biggest offer to date, which could cause a domino effect of more schools taking notice — or at least put Ohio State in real contention for his services.

Either way, with two new names being offered at the offensive tackle spot, it shouldn’t be a concern that the staff doesn’t sit well with their top targets already offered, but more so a new approach that allows the Buckeyes to have real options if they don’t hit on the guys they’ve been in on for some time.

This new philosophy should be a welcomed change.

Quick Hits

• Ohio State hosted Texas quarterback target Bowe Bentley for spring practice, as he made his stop in Columbus on Tuesday to see the Buckeyes in action. Spending time with Ryan Day and position coach Billy Fessler, there’s no better duo to show a quarterback around the Woody, and Bentley had no shortage of attention.

The No. 123 player nationally and No. 10 signal caller in the 2026 class per the 247Sports Composite remains uncommitted, and Ohio State is more than interested.

• One more visit worth noting and a short trek at that, Ohio State also welcomed in-state target CJ Sanna yesterday for another unofficial visit. A frequent guest on campus, Sanna was offered by the Buckeyes in late January, and has been closely linked to the in-state power since then.

The No. 447 player nationally and 35th best linebacker per the 247Sports Composite, it’s pretty clear the Buckeyes are in the lead for his services, and a cycle that will look to take multiple players at the position, Sanna fits that bill.
