In a massive week for Ohio State football, with a huge game against Texas on the horizon, the Buckeyes just landed a commitment that’s got everyone buzzing. Three-star tight end Luke Sohyda officially committed to the 2028 recruiting class, and his decision immediately sent Ohio State’s future class rocketing up to the No. 2 overall spot in the nation. This is exactly the kind of momentum boost you want going into a monster matchup.
A 3-Star Talent That’s About to Explode?
Sohyda hails from Canon-McMillan High School in Canonsburg, Pennsylvania, and the 247Sports Composite rankings currently list him as the No. 45 athlete and 521st overall prospect in the 2028 class. Now, a 3-star might not always grab the headlines like a 5-star, but when Ohio State’s staff identifies a player, you know there’s something special brewing. These Buckeyes have an undeniable “nose for talent and development,” and history shows that when they pick a player, his stock tends to skyrocket. They see the potential, they develop it, and they turn these guys into absolute playmakers. Sohyda’s ranking? Bet on that number climbing.
He’s clearly stoked to be a Buckeye too. “The opportunity to play for the Buckeyes is huge for me,” Sohyda told On3’s Steve Wiltfong after a visit. And it’s not just lip service; this kid is all in. “I text Coach Kee almost daily. Definitely seems like a place I can see myself ending up.” That kind of daily communication and genuine enthusiasm tells you everything you need to know about his dedication and how much he wants to be part of the program. That’s the kind of player you want wearing the scarlet and gray.
The 2028 Class is Already Stacked
Sohyda isn’t riding solo into this 2028 class; he’s the fifth player to commit, joining an already incredible lineup. We’re talking some serious firepower here, with two massive five-star commits already locked in: receiver Jett Harrison and quarterback Christopher Vargas. Imagine the fireworks those two will bring! On the defensive side, five-star lineman Jameer Whyce is set to anchor the line, and four-star running back Elijah Newman-Hall is ready to churn out yards.
Adding a tight end like Sohyda to that mix just makes the class even more well-rounded and dangerous. While it’s still super early for the 2028 cycle, this group of five commits has already pushed Ohio State’s class to the No. 2 overall ranking in the 247Sports Composite Team rankings. That’s a huge statement about the quality of talent they’re bringing in, and it’s clear the Buckeyes are building something truly special for the future.
This commitment couldn’t have come at a better time, giving the program an extra shot of adrenaline as they prepare for that huge game against Texas. With a No. 2 overall class already in the books for 2028, and more top talent surely eyeing Columbus, the future looks incredibly bright. What an exciting time to be an Ohio State fan!
