Ohio State Buckeyes Offer Scholarship to Four-Star Recruit Geraci Carson

The Ohio State Buckeyes have offered a scholarship to four-star defensive lineman Geraci Carson, a top recruit in the 2028 class.

What happened?

The Buckeyes extended the offer to Carson, who has already received attention from SEC teams, including LSU, Alabama, and Ole Miss.

Carson has impressive size, standing at 6-foot-4 and 300 pounds, and has accumulated 35 tackles, 13 tackles for loss, and three sacks in 10 games as a sophomore.

Why it matters for Ohio State Buckeyes

The offer is a significant move for the Buckeyes, who are looking to strengthen their front seven, and Carson's skills make him an attractive recruit.

Ryan Day and his staff have been active on the recruiting trail, with the Buckeyes already landing three commitments in the 2028 class.

What comes next?

The next step for the Buckeyes is to get Carson on campus for a visit, which would allow them to showcase their program and build a relationship with the recruit.

The Buckeyes' upcoming game against Ball State Cardinals on September 5, 2026, may be an opportunity for Carson to see the team in action.

Carson's recruitment is highly contested, with the LSU Tigers currently having the best chance of landing his commitment, according to the Rivals Recruiting Prediction machine.

The Buckeyes will need to make a strong impression on Carson to sway him from the SEC teams that have already shown interest.

Geraci Carson is ranked as the No. 9 defensive lineman and the No. 63 player in the nation, according to Rivals Industry Rankings.

The Buckeyes' emphasis on the front seven is clear, with the recent commitment of four-star defensive lineman Jameer Whyce.
