Damn, Penn State. Franklin got it rolling over there.

However, I do like seeing six Big Ten commits on there compared to just two SEC 'mitts.

Ohio State Buckeyes DB flip targets after losing Weatherspoon​

2026 CB Elbert Hill. (Matt Parker/Lettermen Row)
Ohio State suffered a blow to the 2026 recruiting class on Wednesday when four-star safety Jakob Weatherspoon flipped his commitment to North Carolina. The Avon (Ohio) native had been committed to the Buckeyes since Jan. 2.

Now that he’s left the class, who are some players that Ohio State fans should monitor for potential flips?

Let’s take a look.

Elbert Hill​

Until Hill signs with USC it’ll be somewhat of a head-scratcher that he didn’t give the Buckeyes more of a look during his recruitment. Hill really fell in love with USC, Los Angeles and coach Lincoln Riley during his trips to campus. But things change quickly in the recruiting world.

If the Trojans struggle this season and the Buckeyes circle back will the dynamic playmaker give the in-state school another look? Hill lives 100 miles from Columbus and could easily visit campus for a game day visit in the fall if he chooses to.

Danny Odem​

The Buckeyes got the Orlando (Fla.) First Academy native on campus for an official visit over the June 13 weekend. Odem ended up picking Nebraska over Ohio State and Clemson the first time around. There were a lot of whispers that Nebraska came through in the end with a stronger NIL package that the Buckeyes were not willing to match at that point.

Does that change now that the program will need another defensive back? It could and the Buckeyes will be tough for Nebraska to beat on the trail twice for a prospect.

We recovered with Nick Abrams yesterday at ILB. How is July shaking out over here?

I know he isn't coming to Nebraska, but I figured people might still wish to see our chapter in his reveal.

Eh, I am not as bullish on the Dawgs here. Even if he does sign his talent may require him to transfer to stand out. He looks like 3 and out kid.

That statement doesn't even make sense.

How could culture provide him with an opportunity to start?

Like our team culture is we don't ever have upper classmen on the DL start games? And that would be described as "amazing" in a positive way?

"The 2026 Nebraska defense will be starting a true freshman from Sweden. That's amazing team culture, guys."

More like "Colorado has zero tam culture, then everyone transferred, so now they are forced to start a true freshman on their DL. (looks down and shake head) Amazing "

Maybe the most garbage list I’ve ever seen. Athletic should be shamed

I think he's more saying "the staff has provided me with an opportunity to start" and the culture aspect of that is "best man plays regardless of age."

I was waiting for these. I'm sure there will be a Florida one shortly.





There it is -

Might be a blessing if NU doesn't end up with Sone if they have to deal with Collier for his whole NU career.

Kirby cuts those apron strings from the start. The ones that resist portal out. Bear Alexander is a great example with that "handler" dude. I feel the same about Rhule and his program.

The only "win" Dave can expect to have against Georgia. He'd go back to the "good ol' days of fu" when they had a serial killer on the team in a heartbeat if he could. Haha, video made me laugh though.

I have no idea who that person is.
