Which True Freshmen Will Make the Biggest Impact in 2025?

Ohio State brought in another highly ranked recruiting class this winter, with most of it on campus already going through winter workouts. As always, some players will be more ready than others to contribute and some positions will provide more opportunity for early playing time than others.

With that in mind, Buckeye Huddle staffers Tony Gerdeman and Marc Givler collaborated to predict their Top 5 most impactful true freshmen for the Buckeyes this fall.

Gerdeman’s List:

1. Cornerback Devin Sanchez

2. The Linebackers

3. Defensive Tackle Jarquez Carter

4. Wide Receiver Quincy Porter

5. Defensive End Zion Grady

Givler’s List:

1. Cornerback Devin Sanchez

2. Safety Faheem Delane

3. Linebacker T.J. Alford

4. Linebacker Riley Pettijohn

5. Wide Receiver Quincy Porter
