The Hurry-Up: Ohio State Defensive Line Target Preston Carey Sets Commitment Date for June 30, Four-star OT Oluwasemilore Olubobola Offered by Ohio State
One of Ohio State’s defensive line targets in the 2026 class has set a commitment date.
Four-star IMG Academy standout Preston Carey will commit on June 30 and choose from a final group of schools, including OSU, Georgia, Auburn, Florida, Rutgers, Alabama and USC.
The 6-foot-5, 300-pound Carey has visited Columbus multiple times throughout his recruitment and has an official visit set up for May 30. He’ll also take official visits to all of his other finalists.
Extremely grateful and humbled to have these opportunities. Back to work! #Grindneverstops #KeepWorking @GeorgiaFootball @OhioStateFB @AuburnFootball @GatorsFB @RFootball @AlabamaFTBL @uscfb https://t.co/JlXi9rySWE

Per 247Sports’ composite rankings, Carey is considered the No. 278 prospect and No. 31 defensive lineman in the 2026 class.
Ohio State and Larry Johnson have been recruiting Carey for a long time, with the Buckeyes offering him in March of 2023.
“It felt amazing sitting down with coach Day and coach Johnson, two of the best, if not the best coaches in the country,” Carey said following his offer. “Being able to learn from them from such a short time was really an honor. Ohio State is one of the best places for defensive linemen in the country, if not the best.”
Oluwasemilore Olubobola offered by OSU
Tyler Bowen has offered a promising offensive lineman in the 2027 class. Four-star New Jersey prospect Oluwasemilore Olubobola picked up an offer from the Buckeyes on Monday, as Bowen continues to identify intriguing players up front to target in next year’s recruiting cycle.

Olubobola is considered the No. 105 prospect and No. 11 ranked tackle in the 2027 class. The 6-foot-6, 275-pound prospect is from New Jersey and is the seventh tackle to earn an offer from the Buckeyes in his class.
Sidney Rouleau gets an offer from the Buckeyes
Olubobola wasn’t Bowen’s only offer he gave out on Monday. Four-star New Jersey offensive tackle Sidney Rouleau picked up an offer from OSU, as Bowen continues to expand his board.

The 6-foot-5, 300-pound lineman has earned 16 Division I offers, including Boston College, Duke, Florida, Miami, Michigan, Nebraska, Penn State, Pittsburgh, Rutgers, Syracuse, Tennessee, Virginia, Virginia Tech, Washington, West Virginia and Wisconsin.
Jae Lamar puts the Buckeyes in his top six
A top Ohio State running back target has narrowed down his recruitment.
Four-star Georgia standout Jae Lamar released a top six of Ohio State, Auburn, Florida State, Clemson, Georgia and Miami on Sunday as he continues to narrow things down in search of his collegiate home.

Lamar is expected to take an official visit to Columbus later this summer and also plans to visit Florida State, Miami, Clemson and Auburn. He’s previously set a commitment date for July 4, as Carlos Locklyn hopes to take two running backs in the 2026 cycle.
Cam Brooks commits to Cal
One defensive line target for Larry Johnson in the 2026 class is off the board. Four-star Georgia prospect Cam Brooks committed to Cal on Sunday in a somewhat unexpected move, leaving the Buckeyes to head back to the drawing board with still plenty of options on the table for defensive line this cycle.

Brooks had been heavily connected to OSU early in his recruitment and the Buckeyes were hoping to set up an official visit with him for sometime this summer, but contact had been minimal between the two sides over the spring.
With Brooks headed to Cal, the Buckeyes will turn their attention elsewhere this summer.
Jaden Ball signs with Minnesota
Ohio State hosted three transfer portal prospects on Friday, including defensive tackle Troy Pikes, offensive tackle Orion Irving and offensive tackle Jaden Ball. One day later, Ball opted to sign with Minnesota instead, which had also been courting him since he left Purdue.
OSU added West Virginia offensive tackle transfer Justin Terry on Sunday and will likely hear an answer from Irving and Pikes this week.

Matt Patricia Shares Major Health Update Following Neurosurgeon Visit During Ohio State Offseason Break
CINCINNATI (WKRC) — Sixty percent of children in Ohio are not ready for kindergarten when they start school.
Now, a national nonprofit is working to change that by expanding access to books and promoting early literacy across the state.

Nedra Smith has seen the difference firsthand. Her two young daughters receive books through the program at their pediatrician visits at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital.
“They love to read now,” Smith said. “We’ll randomly be out and they’ll see a book and want to read a book.”
Reach Out and Read partners with pediatricians to give children books during regular checkups and encourage parents to read aloud with them. The program has been part of Cincinnati Children’s for more than a decade.
“They typically come in and tell us they got new books,” Smith said. “They typically ask me to read the book right then and there.”
Program leaders say early literacy is increasingly being recognized as an important part of a child’s overall health and development.
“Initially, literacy may not have been in the forefront or seen as a health benefit,” said Kristy High, program manager for Reach Out and Read. “Well-child checks focus on shots, nutrition, and those things; but now we want to focus on those main benefits for the development and milestones when it comes to learning.”
The organization is now working to expand its reach statewide, with a goal of serving children in all 88 Ohio counties.
“We know that those first five years of life are the most critical for brain development,” said Steven Lake, executive director of Reach Out and Read Ohio. “If we can intervene as early as possible, essentially, we reach out at birth; we know we can have the greatest impact.”
Smith encourages other parents to participate in the program and read to their children.
“It’s fun,” Smith said. “It’s actually fun to see them light up, and I think they’ll pass that on to their own kids as well.”
Reach Out and Read also partners with providers in Kentucky and Indiana. You can find a participating provider near you on the organization’s website.
