After missing out on 2027 five-star wide receiver Kesean Bowman, the unfortunate luck for the Ohio State Buckeyes and head coach Ryan Day continues on the 2027 recruiting trail.

Rivals' Hayes Fawcett reported on Thursday that 2027 four-star quarterback Teddy Jarrard has committed to the Notre Dame Fighting Irish over Day and the Buckeyes.

Jarrard is the No. 14 quarterback in the 2027 recruiting cycle, as well as a top-25 prospect in the state of Georgia, according to 247Sports' Composite Ratings. The highly-rated high school prospect is coming off a phenomenal season at North Cobb High School, as he threw for 2,752 yards and 31 touchdowns while completing 68.7 percent of his attempts. And despite Day's late push for Jarrard, the Buckeyes were unable to land the Georgia product.

Luckily for Day and the Buckeyes, the program has the No. 8 quarterback in the 2027 recruiting cycle in Brady Edmunds. The four-star prospect has been commitment to the program since Dec. 2, which came just a few days after Edmunds took an unofficial visit to Columbus. Both Edmunds and five-star wide receiver Jamier Brown are currently the lone recruits committed to the Buckeyes in the 2027 class.
