Ohio State Tight End Commit Corbyn Fordham Fully Locked In

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Since committing to Ohio State back in November, four-star Jacksonville (FL) Bolles School tight end Corbyn Fordham has kept a low profile on the recruiting front, and he prefers it that way.

In a landscape where players commit to programs but continue to make visits elsewhere, Fordham has resisted that temptation and does see that changing anytime soon.

“Once I commit, I’m committed,” Fordham told BuckeyeHuddle.com this week. “I’m not going to go out and visit other schools and do all of the recruiting stuff.”

Fordham was back on campus in April for the Ohio State spring game as he continues to soak in all that being part of the Ohio State football program entails.

“Visiting Columbus, it’s real,” Fordham explained. “The locker room, the culture, you’re going to get developed at Ohio State. That’s what I want to do, I want to go to a program that’s going to develop me to be better.”

Ohio State made some waves in the winter transfer portal window, picking up former Purdue tight end Max Klare. Fordham was immediately interested and thinks the new Buckeye could have a big impact on the field this fall.

“It was really cool,” he started. “Coach Key told me they got a dude out of the portal so I was like, send me the film, I want to see it. I watched the film and then I watched him play in the spring game and he’s a really good player. He’s one of the best tight ends in the nation and he showed that in the spring game.”
