Four-Star DL Dominic Kirks Commits to Buckeyes
The Ohio State Buckeyes continue to roll in the NCAA Transfer Portal, adding Alabama transfer Caleb Downs on Friday night.
That said, they aren't done building their 2024 recruiting class either.
They continued to do just that on Saturday afternoon, adding a commitment from Riverside (Painesville, OH) four-star defensive lineman Dominic Kirks.

Kirks picked the Buckeyes over Alabama and USC, citing Ohio State defensive line coach Larry Johnson and the staff as a major reason for his decision.
“Great coaching staff, great men more importantly. Coach Johnson is a legend, he is more of a teacher than a coach," Kirks told On3. He was completely transparent and wants nothing but the best out of me while also wanting me to grow as a young man. They let me know that things will be hard, and I am willing to accept and embrace every challenge that comes, and grind my butt off to be where I need to be in life. It’s like a family, they emphasize brotherhood and playing for the guys next to you. There is no staff like it! I want to be surrounded with people that I believe will develop me into the best I can be on and off the field, and there is no other staff like it.”
Kirks now joins an Ohio State defensive linehaul that includes five-star edge Eddrick Houston and three-star defensive tackle Eric Mensah in Columbus.
