You can never sleep on Ohio when it comes to producing high school football talent. The state isn’t at the level of Florida or Texas, but it is certainly among the second tier.
Looking at the 2027 cycle, there’s another slew of talent set to come out of the state. On Monday, the Rivals300 rankings were updated and 13 prospects from the state were included.

Of those 13, five are already committed. Ohio State has a pair of huge in-state pledges from interior offensive lineman Kellen Wymer and wide receiver Jamier Brown. Below is a look at the top 2027 prospects from Ohio, per the Rivals300.
1. IOL Kellen Wymer — Ohio State commit
Rivals300 Ranking: No. 31 NATL. (No. 3 IOL)
School: Liberty Center
Wymer was one of the biggest risers in the new Rivals300 update, moving from No. 70 up to No. 31. He committed to Ohio State on Nov. 2 and looks to be rock-solid with the Buckeyes. Rivals’ Director of Scouting and Rankings Charles Power said this of Wymer earlier this week: “I think there’s a case to be made that he might be the most natural mover and explosive mover of all the offensive linemen nationally. He can really, really scoot at the second level.”

2. WR Jamier Brown — Ohio State commit
Rivals300 Ranking: No. 48 NATL. (No. 7 WR)
School: Big Walnut
An industry five-star, Brown has been committed to the Buckeyes since Nov. 23, 2024. He remains locked in with OSU despite the departure of touted receivers coach Brian Hartline. Looking to be the next great pass-catcher for the Big Ten juggernaut, Brown helps headline the Buckeyes’ early haul. Rivals reported last month that Brown is transferring from Wayne High to Big Walnut for his senior season.
3. CB Ace Alston — Notre Dame commit
Rivals300 Ranking: No. 72 NATL. (No. 10 CB)
School: Anderson
