Ohio State has added another talented wide receiver prospect to its 2026 recruiting class, landing Pataskala (Ohio) Watkins Memorial speedster Jaeden Ricketts to the fold.
Ricketts joins Chris Henry Jr. as the second wide receiver prospect, and second prospect overall, in Ohio State’s 2026 recruiting class.
The Central Ohio native impressed at Ohio State’s camp back in June, earning an offer from Brian Hartline and the Buckeyes.
Ricketts is a sub 11-second 100-meter track athlete with good size at 6-feet tall and 195-pounds and provides a nice complement to Henry.
