The Ohio State Buckeyes are dominating the 2025 recruiting cycle.

Already holding the No. 1 class in the country by a wide margin, the Buckeyes landed another stellar addition to the class on Saturday, with four-star tight end Nate Roberts committing just before the kick off of their spring game in Columbus.

“This is the place to be, go Bucks," Roberts told On3.

As of the time of his commitment to the Buckeyes, the Washington (OK) star ranks as the No. 143 player in the nation, the No. 6 tight end, and the No. 4 player in the state of Oklahoma, per the On3 Industry Ranking, which is a composite ranking of the four major recruiting services (ESPN, On3, Rivals.com and 247Sports).

On3 is the highest on Robert's of any major recruiting service's individual ranking, rating him as the No. 139 player in the country, No. 7 tight end, and No. 2 player in Oklahoma. He is a consensus four-star recruit.

Last season for Washington, Roberts had 33 catches for 705 yards and 11 touchdowns.

He now becomes the 12th commitment of the 2025 class for the Buckeyes, picking Ohio State over Oregon, Oklahoma, Penn State, and Ole Miss among many others in pursuit.

Roberts is also the fourth commit on the offensive side of the ball in the 2025 class for the Buckeyes, joining five-star QB Tavien St. Clair, four-star offensive tackle Carter Lowe, and four-star wide receiver De'Zie Jones.

Roberts still has all five of his official visits remaining, and will be taking trips to Ole MIss on April 27, Penn State on May 31, Ohio State on June 7, Oregon on June 14, and Oklahoma on June 21.
