Ohio State Buckeyes Land Commitment from 4-Star OT Caden Moss

Ohio State Buckeyes have landed a commitment from Caden Moss, a 4-star offensive tackle from Jackson Academy.

The 6-foot-5, 320-pound Moss announced his decision on Instagram Live after visiting Ohio State and Ole Miss.

What happened?

Moss chose the Buckeyes over other finalists, including Kentucky, Louisiana State, Oregon, and Tennessee.

He is ranked as the No. 3 player in Mississippi and the No. 7 offensive lineman in the 2027 class.

Why it matters for Ohio State Buckeyes

This commitment is a significant win for the Buckeyes, who have not signed a top-100 offensive lineman from outside Ohio since Donovan Jackson in 2021.

Moss's addition strengthens the team's recruiting class and provides a boost to their offense.

The Buckeyes' next game is against the Ball State Cardinals on September 5, 2026.

What comes next?

Moss will join the Buckeyes for the 2027 season, bringing his skills as a dominant offensive lineman to the team.

He was also selected for the Under Armour All-America Game and Polynesian Bowl as an underclassman.

Moss helped Jackson Academy win an MAIS 4A-Division I championship last season, capping off a year with an 11-1 record.

He also played basketball for the Raiders, averaging 5.6 points and 5.1 rebounds per game during his junior season.

The Buckeyes are looking to build on their recruiting momentum with Moss's commitment, and his addition is expected to make an impact on the team's performance.
