By Brady Williams
The Ohio State Buckeyes are crushing their recruiting lately, and it's been absolutely dominant. In two of the past three seasons, the Georgia Bulldogs have had the best recruiting class, but Ohio State is sending a message right now.
For the rising class of 2021, Ohio State is No. 1 in the rankings in the NCAA. Folks, things are only going to get better.
In a composite of the best individual recruiters by 247Sports.com, four of the top five guys are Buckeye assistant coaches. It's the kind of well-rounded staff that can elevate a program to new heights, believe that.

The rankings factor in how many players they've brought into the fold and the average grade of each one. Sitting at the top is Tony Alford, and that's no fluke. The running backs coach has had a killer offseason. He's managed to pick up the nation's top back in TreVeyon Henderson, plus Evan Pryor. Don't forget the addition of standout transfer Trey Sermon.
In just two weeks, Ohio State landed two of the top running backs in the class of 2021 (TreVeyon Henderson and Evan Pryor) and the top graduate transfer running back for 2020 (Trey Sermon).

A home-run month for Tony Alford and the Buckeyes at a position where they needed one.
Ryan Day has to be smiling from ear to ear right now. He's put together an unreal staff, and they are proving their worth out on the recruiting trail. It's truly a great time to be a Buckeyes fan, as more elite recruits figure to join the 2021 party.
