Addie Engel Named Big Ten Athlete of the Year
COLUMBUS, Ohio – All-American and Huge Ten Champion Addie Engel of the Ohio State girls’s cross nation workforce picked up one other honor Wednesday, as she was named Huge Ten Athlete of the Yr. She is the primary Buckeye to earn the award and was chosen unanimously in a vote by the league’s coaches.
Engel’s 2022 marketing campaign was the perfect in program historical past. After 4 High 2 finishes within the common season, she gained the Buckeyes’ first Huge Ten title, was the runner-up on the Nice Lakes Regional as Ohio State clinched a workforce automated bid to the NCAA Championships and positioned tenth on the nationwide meet to earn All-America honors.
On the Huge Ten Championships Oct. 28, Engel crossed the road in 20:00.0 to win the primary particular person title in program historical past. She earned her second First Group All-Huge Ten accolade, the primary Buckeye to earn two first-team nods. She improved on her fourth-place end on the 2021 convention meet.
On the Nice Lakes Regional Nov. 11, Engel completed because the runner-up, operating a then-personal-best time of 19:57.8 within the 6k to earn her second all-region honor. She is the sixth Buckeye to earn all-region honors not less than twice. The Buckeyes’ second-place end clinched this system’s fourth journey to the NCAA Championships and the second automated spot.
On the NCAA Championships Nov. 19, Engel crossed the road in tenth in a time of 19:50.4, capturing the fifth All-America laurel for a Buckeye. She is the second Ohio State runner to submit a High 10 end within the NCAA Championships and the primary since Kathy Monard was ninth in 1986. Ohio State positioned fifteenth as a workforce on the nationwide race, the perfect end for this system.
A Sprinfield, Ohio, native, Engel was first or second in all six meets heading into the NCAA Championships. Over the past two seasons, she has 10 High 4 finishes and has been within the High 16 in 13 of 14 races, with the lone exception the 2021 NCAA Championships, the place she completed 66th as a person qualifier.

Ohio State Buckeyes Land Top Recruit Dorian Jones
The Ohio State Buckeyes have landed four-star recruit Dorian Jones, a source told 247 Sports.
Jones will be staying local with his decision to join the Buckeyes.
The 6-foot-4 shooting guard played his high-school basketball at Richmond Heights and was the No. 2-ranked player in Ohio.
“They were the first program to start recruiting me when I was a freshman,” Jones recently said of Ohio State. “They have been there since day one. They talk about building their program around me.”
Jones also had offers from the likes of Syracuse, Oklahoma, Missouri, Illinois and Michigan, but ultimately chose to stay home.
The Buckeyes are trying to recover after missing the NCAA Tournament each of the last two years.
Ohio State got off to a 14-11 start this past season, resulting in the firing of head coach Chris Holtmann. Jake Diebler took the reins the rest of the way and went a respectable 8-3.
It certainly represented a better campaign for the Buckeyes than 2022-23, when they went just 16-19. That marks Ohio State’s only losing record since going 14-16 in 2003-04.
Since 2006, the Buckeyes have made the Big Dance 13 times, with their deepest run coming in 2011-12 when Jared Sullinger led the squad all the way to the Final Four before losing to Kansas.
Ohio State has not made it past the second round of the NCAA Tournament in any of its last four appearances.
We’ll see if Jones and a potentially tantalizing recruiting class overall can help bring Buckeyes basketball back to prominence.

Ohio State Buckeyes Key 2025 Defensive Target Sets Commitment Date
The Ohio State Buckeyes are still hoping to gain a commitment from a key pass-rusher target in the 2025 recruiting class.
While the Buckeyes have already earned the No. 1 ranking by many for their 2025 class, they are still looking to get better. Damien Shanklin is a name that they are still waiting to get a decision from.
Shanklin has now announced when he will announce his commitment.
Ohio State will not have to wait much longer. Shanklin has stated that he will be making his commitment announcement on July 5th.
Standing in at 6-foot-5 and 235 pounds, the four-star edge rusher from Warren Central High School in Indianapolis, Indiana has tremendous potential. He could end up developing into a legitimate NFL talent if he reaches his ceiling.
While the Buckeyes feel that they have a good shot at landing a commitment from Shanklin and are in his top three final schools, the other two schools involved are massive threats.
He is considering offers from both Alabama and LSU. Shanklin is picking from three legitimate teams that could offer him a chance to compete for a National Championship and give him a good chance to develop into an NFL talent.
All of that being said, it will be interesting to see what decisions Shanklin makes. He would be a great addition to the Ohio State recruiting class.
Make sure to stay tuned on July 5th at 5:30 p.m. EST. All Buckeyes fans are going to be waiting anxiously to see what the young pass-rusher decides.
