Ohio State has secured a significant commitment from five-star safety Blaine Bradford, the nation’s top-ranked safety in the 2026 class. Bradford, hailing from Catholic High School in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, chose the Buckeyes over offers from LSU and Texas. His decision marks a notable recruiting victory for Ohio State, as they successfully attracted a premier talent from the heart of SEC territory.
Standing at 6-foot-1 and weighing 207 pounds, Bradford is celebrated for his versatility and athleticism on the field. His ability to excel in various defensive roles is expected to make a significant impact on Ohio State’s defense in the coming years. His commitment adds to the Buckeyes’ impressive 2026 recruiting class, which includes other top-tier prospects such as wide receiver Chris Henry Jr.
Bradford’s commitment follows a weekend visit to Ohio State, during which he observed team scrimmages and engaged with the coaching staff. He cited the consistent communication and strong relationships with head coach Ryan Day and safeties coach Matt Guerrieri as pivotal factors in his decision.
This commitment underscores Ohio State’s continued success in attracting elite defensive talent nationwide, further solidifying their position as a powerhouse in college football recruiting.
