BREAKING: Ohio State Lands Commitment From Class of 2024 RB Jordan Lyle
Amidst the former Ohio State Buckeyes moving on to the NFL the past three days, the next wave of talent coming to Columbus was announced Saturday.
On3 four-star running back Jordan Lyle committed to Ohio State Saturday, marking the Buckeyes' third ball-carrier they've landed in the class of 2024, joining 247Sports' fifth-best running back James Peoples and three-star Sam Williams-Dixon.
Lyle told On3's Hayes Fawcett he chose Ohio State because of the "genuine love and development of the players that I saw."
“The coaches are extremely great people that want the best out of you and I would love to be around people like that," Lyle said. "When I went up there on a visit, the practice had so much energy and emotion. I would definitely want to see myself in that type of environment. Ohio State has always been a dream school of mine since Zeke (Elliott) played. I can’t wait to join the Buckeye Nation.”
In his sophomore season at St. Thomas Aquinas High School in Fort Lauderdale, FL., Lyle carried the ball 91 times for 1,015 yards — an average of 11.1 yards per carry — and 12 touchdowns.
According to On3's team rankings, the Buckeyes have the second-best recruiting class in 2024 with 13 commitments, trailing only the Georgia Bulldogs.
