Skull Session Ohio State Recruiting Podcast Buckeye Huddle Podcast Network

Ohio State has long had a presence in Georgia on the recruiting trail but now it's also finding itself in some big battles in the state of Alabama. We have the latest on the big recruiting swings that the Buckeyes are taking in the Deep South in this episode of the Skull Session Recruiting Podcast.

2026 Greensboro (NC) Grimsley QB Faizon Brandon is rated by some as the No. 1 junior prospect in the nation. We caught up with Brandon on our Southern Swing to gauge his interest in Ohio State and when he might make it up to Columbus for a visit.

We caught up with the nation's number one prospect, Charlotte (NC) Providence Day offensive tackle David Sanders Jr., as part of our Southern Swing recruiting tour. Have the Buckeyes gained momentum in this recruitment? Why did he quietly make another return visit this past weekend?

We dive into all of those topics, and more, in this episode of the Skull Session Recruiting Podcast.

Our Southern Swing recruiting tour took us to the Charlotte, North Carolina area where we checked on super 2026 linebacker Thomas Davis Jr. Davis is the son of former UGA and Carolina Panthers great Thomas Davis Sr. and has racked up a ton of national interest. We went one-on-one with him to discuss what he likes about Ohio State, his recent visit, and more.
