Ohio State recruiting updates: get the latest on Karlos May, David Gabriel Georges, and Brady Edmunds as top prospects make their decisions.
The 2027 recruiting class for Ohio State is hitting a pivotal stretch, with several high-profile decisions arriving in the coming days. In the latest episode of Buckeye Cadence, Blake Biscardi sat down with recruiting expert TJ Warner to break down the current landscape, the status of key targets, and the potential impact of these upcoming announcements.
Karlos May: An Anchor for the Defensive Line
The most immediate decision on the horizon is that of defensive lineman Karlos May, who is set to announce his commitment this Saturday, July 18.
Warner highlighted May as the exact type of “big boy” presence the Buckeyes need to round out their defensive line class. Standing at 305 pounds, May possesses a strong initial punch and the versatility to play inside, filling gaps effectively. Warner expressed high confidence that the Buckeyes will land the defensive standout, noting that his addition would help solidify what could be one of the best defensive line classes in recent Ohio State history.
David Gabriel Georges: A High-Stakes Battle
Perhaps the most talked-about name in the 2027 cycle, David Gabriel Georges (DGG), is set to make his decision on July 22. With the recruitment primarily between Ohio State and Tennessee, the atmosphere surrounding his decision remains intense and closely guarded.
While Warner maintains a cautious pick for Ohio State, largely due to the deep relationship built by coach Carlos Locklyn and a late-stage push by Ryan Day, he acknowledged that this remains a neck-and-neck race. Regardless of the outcome, Warner emphasized that NIL is not the driving force for DGG, who is instead prioritizing relationships and fit.
Brady Edmunds: Staying the Course?
Quarterback Brady Edmunds has kept fans on edge following a late push from UCLA. According to Warner, Edmunds, a lifelong Buckeye fan, used his official visit to Columbus to clarify Ohio State’s plan for the position. While UCLA remains a legitimate threat, Warner expects Edmunds to stick with his commitment to Ohio State, with a decision expected sometime this week.
Beyond these individual decisions, the conversation shifted to the broader defensive class under defensive coordinator Matt Patricia. With elite athleticism appearing across the board at linebacker and in the secondary, the consensus is that the 2027 class is shaping up to be an elite, foundation-building group for the program’s long-term success.
