BREAKING: Ohio State lands in-state LB CJ Sanna
COLUMBUS — Ohio State continues to stay hot on the recruiting trail in March. This time the Buckeyes have added to their defensive class, however.
Three-star Lewis Center (Ohio) Olentangy linebacker CJ Sanna has committed to Ohio State over Indiana and Pittsburgh. Linebackers coach James Laurinaitis offered the 6-foot-3, 225-pound Sanna after stopping by Olentangy during the January contact period. Sanna, the No. 386 overall prospect in the On3 Industry Rankings, has since visited Ohio State twice this spring.
Sanna is the tenth commitment for Ryan Day and Co. in the 2026 class. He joins an already talented in-state recruiting class for the Buckeyes. Ohio State has four-star Akron (Ohio) Archbishop Hoban offensive lineman Sam Greer, four-star Avon Lake (Ohio) interior offensive lineman Max Riley, four-star Avon (Ohio) cornerback Jakob Weatherspoon and three-star Pataskala (Ohio) Watkins Memorial wide receiver Jaeden Ricketts committed from Ohio.
Ohio State has four out-of-state commitments this cycle from Five-Star Plus+ Santa Ana (Calif.) Mater Dei wide receiver Chris Henry Jr., four-star Baton Rouge (La.) Catholic safety Blaine Bradford, four-star Jacksonville (Fla.) The Bolles School safety Simeon Caldwell, three-star Jacksonville (Fla.) The Bolles School tight end Corbyn Fordham and three-star Phoenix (Ariz.) Sandra Day O’Conner offensive lineman Tucker Smith.
