Ohio State has made recruiting Georgia a priority for more than a decade now and that is going to continue in a big way in the 2026 recruiting class. The Buckeyes are already making big impressions on several of the Peach State’s top juniors, many of whom we met with this past week on our Southern Swing.
We’re diving into several situations in the Peach State, including the pursuit of three big-time defensive linemen and where the Buckeyes stand with each of them.
We’re also breaking down our interview and time at Mandarin High School in Jacksonville, home of five-star wide receiver Jaime Ffrench. Was the handwringing premature? Are the Buckeyes still in a position of strength.

There is also another high school in Jacksonville where the Buckeyes will be very active in the 2026 class. We’ll explain why.
All of that, and more, in tonight’s Skull Session.
