When ESPN 300 defensive end Tunmise Adeleye revealed he was backing out of his commitment to the Buckeyes, Ohio State lost a dedication from its 2021 class on Tuesday.
Adeleye is the No. 39-ranked recruit overall and the No. 6-ranked protective end in the class. Hes a 6-foot-3, 250-pound prospect out of IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida, and was the fourth-highest-ranked commitment in Ohio States class.
Adeleye hasnt stated who is at the top of his brand-new list, however he has had contact with Alabama, Texas, Texas A&M, Oklahoma and Florida, amongst other schools.
The Buckeyes still have defensive end Jack Sawyer, the No. 1-ranked hire in general, committed, but losing Adeleye does harm the class. Adeleye, Sawyer and ESPN 300 protective take on Mike Hall made for an outstanding defensive line class.
The personnel still has plenty of time to find another defensive line recruit to fill that area, and the coaches still have the No. 1-ranked class general. Alabama is close behind at No. 2.
Even with Adeleyes decommitment, Ohio State has 16 ESPN 300 commitments, including Sawyer, No. 1 running back TreVeyon Henderson, the No. 4-ranked pocket-passing quarterback in Kyle McCord and Jayden Ballard, the fourth-best broad receiver.
