COLUMBUS, OH – In a major recruiting coup, Ohio State has landed a commitment from one of the top offensive tackle prospects in the country, John Turntine III. The 6-foot-4, 275-pound standout announced his decision on social media, choosing the Buckeyes over a host of rival powerhouses.
“I’m thrilled to announce that I’m committing to THE Ohio State University!” Turntine wrote on Twitter. “I want to thank Coach Day, Coach Studrawa, and the entire OSU staff for believing in me and giving me this opportunity.

Turntine’s commitment is a significant boost to Ohio State’s recruiting class, which is already ranked among the top 5 in the country. The Buckeyes have been loading up on talent in recent years, and Turntine’s addition only adds to their impressive haul.
“We’re thrilled to welcome John to the Buckeye family,” said Ohio State head coach Ryan Day. “He’s an exceptional talent with a tremendous work ethic and a passion for the game. We believe he has the potential to be a dominant force on our offensive line, and we’re excited to see him develop and grow as a player.”
Turntine, who hails from Chicago, Illinois, is widely regarded as one of the top offensive tackle prospects in the country. He boasts a impressive combination of size, strength, and athleticism, and is known for his technical skills and aggressive playing style.
“John is a physical freak,” said Allen Trieu, a national recruiting analyst for 247Sports. “He’s got the size, strength, and athleticism to dominate at the next level. He’s also a very polished player with a strong technical foundation. Ohio State is getting a potential All-American in John Turntine.”
Turntine’s commitment to Ohio State is a significant blow to several rival powerhouses, including Michigan, Alabama, and Georgia. All three programs had been heavily recruiting Turntine, and were considered to be among his top contenders.
“John’s decision to commit to Ohio State is a huge win for the Buckeyes,” said Steve Wiltfong, a national recruiting analyst for 247Sports. “He’s a game-changer at the offensive tackle position, and his commitment gives Ohio State a major boost in the recruiting rankings. The Buckeyes are loading up on talent, and John Turntine is just the latest example of that.”
Turntine’s commitment to Ohio State is also a testament to the program’s strong recruiting efforts. The Buckeyes have been one of the top recruiting programs in the country in recent years, and Turntine’s commitment is just the latest example of that.
“We’re proud of the recruiting efforts of our coaching staff,” said Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith. “We’ve been able to attract some of the top talent in the country, and John Turntine is just the latest example of that. We’re excited to see him develop and grow as a player, and we’re confident that he’ll be a major contributor to our program in the years to come.”
Turntine is expected to enroll at Ohio State in the summer and participate in the program’s summer conditioning program. He will likely compete for a starting spot on the Buckeyes’ offensive line in the fall.
“I’m ready to get to work and help bring another national championship to Columbus,” Turntine said. “I’m excited to be a part of the Buckeye family, and I’m looking forward to seeing what the future holds.”
