On3’s Steve Wiltfong reported Friday the Buckeyes have a “huge visit” with four-star offensive lineman Drew Evers.
“On300 offensive lineman Drew Evers is a huge visit for the Buckeyes as the defending National Champs have had momentum. The Buckeyes sit at No. 3 in the On3 Industry Standings,” wrote Wiltfong.
Evers has received dozens of offers according to 247 Sports. In addition to the Buckeyes, the Texas A&M Aggies, Penn State Nittany Lions, Alabama Crimson Tide and Georgia Bulldogs, among many others, are pursuing the four-star offensive lineman.

A Flower Mound, Texas native, Evers is also the No. 209 overall recruit in the class according to the 247 Sports rankings.
Evers posted a picture Thursday on his X account about his official visit to the Buckeyes.
Evers visited the SMU Mustangs and LSU in May. Next weekend, he is scheduled to see Penn State.
Then to end June, Evers will be in College Station, Texas, to visit the Aggies.
The Buckeyes would like to continue the recruiting momentum they have with a strong visit with Evers this weekend.
While Ohio State sits at No. 3 on the On3 recruiting rankings for 2026, the Buckeyes recently dropped to No. 4 on the 247 Sports ratings. The Clemson Tigers moved up to No. 3.

Ohio State, though, has a higher quality class than most programs. The Buckeyes are ranked fourth on the 247 Sports rankings despite having just 13 commits.
Clemson has 18, and the No. 1-ranked USC Trojans have 27 commitments.
