In a somewhat quiet week on the recruiting front, Ohio State appeared in the final lists of two of the top tailbacks in the 2020 class.
Texas five-star running back Zachary Evans included the Scarlet and Gray in his final five, while Washington four-star running back Sam Adams included the Buckeyes in his top six.
Ohio State awaits the decision of Pennsylvania five-star wideout Julian Fleming, which he set for May 31.
While awaiting Fleming’s decision, which is set for Friday, the Buckeyes sent out some more offers across the county.
