**Ohio State Football Secures Commitment from Four-Star Safety Eli Johnson**

Just hours before kickoff against UCLA, the Ohio State football team received some exciting news. Four-star safety Eli Johnson officially committed to the Buckeyes, boosting an already impressive recruiting class.

Johnson is part of the 2027 recruiting class and holds the distinction of being the No. 10 safety in the nation, according to the 247Sports composite rankings. His commitment makes him the sixth member of Ohio State’s class, which currently ranks No. 5 overall early in the recruiting period.

As the second-highest rated recruit in the class, trailing only behind five-star receiver Jamier Brown, Johnson brings a valuable talent to the team. The Texas native had numerous offers on the table but ultimately chose Ohio State over prominent programs like Oklahoma, Texas, and Michigan.

This commitment is a strong signal of Ohio State’s continued success both on and off the field. As the Buckeyes keep adding top-tier talent, fans have plenty to be excited about for the future of the program.
