The Buckeyes’ eventful offseason continues, with Wednesday bringing more headlines. Ohio State’s decision to hire Matt Patricia as defensive coordinator is intriguing, but with a national championship to his name, Ryan Day has proven he can make successful coaching hires.
Tim Walton and Matt Guerrieri receiving well-deserved and expected promotions highlights just how busy the past few weeks have been. Beyond coaching staff changes, recruiting remains a top priority, with plenty of new updates to cover on that front.
Ohio State has extended an offer to a 2027 prospect from Texas, a state that has long been a key recruiting ground for the Buckeyes. Given Texas’ rich talent pool and strong football culture, Ohio State consistently prioritizes the region in each recruiting cycle.
During a recruiting stop in Texas on Wednesday, Ohio State extended an offer to 2027 standout Myson Johnson-Cook. The 6-foot-2, 220-pound athlete from powerhouse DeSoto High is ranked No. 19 nationally and the top athlete in the country, according to the 247Sports Composite.
With nearly 20 offers from top programs like Georgia, Oregon, Penn State, Tennessee, Texas A&M, and USC, it’s clear why the Buckeyes are joining the race. Johnson-Cook’s combination of speed and size allows him to excel in multiple positions, but at running back, he’s a game-changing talent.
Ohio State’s offensive staff is likely to be heavily involved in his recruitment, and their past success at DeSoto could work in their favor.
