Four-star wide receiver Kayden Dixon-Wyatt flips from Ohio State to USC on National Signing Day
COLUMBUS — Ohio State has a top five recruiting class in the 2026 cycle heading into National Signing Day, but it has lost another commitment to a Big Ten school.
Four-star Inglewood (Calif) Mater Dei wide receiver Kayden Dixon-Wyatt has flipped from the Buckeyes to USC. Dixon-Wyatt is the No. 136 overall prospect and No. 18 wide receiver in the 2026 class, according to the Rivals Industry Rankings. Rivals ranks Dixon-Wyatt as the No. 43 wide receiver and No. 18 prospect in California this cycle.
Ohio State still five wide receiver commits this cycle. Five-star Santa Ana (Calif.) Mater Dei wide receiver Chris Henry Jr. is the headliner for offensive coordinator and wide receivers coach Brian Hartline. Oregon is still working to flip Henry, however, and he is someone will eagerly awaiting to receiver Letter of Intent from on Wednesday.

The Buckeyes also have four-star Fort Wayne (Ind.) Northrop wide receiver Jerquaden Guilford, four-star Southlake Carroll (Texas) wide receiver Brock Boyd and four-star Pataskala (Ohio) Watkins Memorial wide receiver Jaeden Ricketts in the fold. Guilford has been a riser in the rankings this fall after a strong senior season. Boyd is a four-star, according to Rivals, and Ricketts has real track speed. Ricketts could also be a flight risk, however, considering he took an official visit to West Virginia over the weekend.
