Five-star quarterback commit expected to camp with Buckeyes next week

Ohio State has just one camp next week. Turns out it might be the biggest showcase yet for the Buckeyes future quarterback.

Five-star quarterback and Ohio State commit Dylan Raiola is expecting to be in Columbus to camp with the Buckeyes next Tuesday. It’ll be his first trip to visit the Buckeyes since he committed to Ohio State last month.

Raiola is certain to draw some other top prospects to Ohio State. He is already the No. 1 overall player in the 2024 class. Now he’s taking a trip to Columbus to camp with the Buckeyes coaching staff next week.

New Tim May Podcast episode

This week, Tim dives into one of the most interesting behind-the-scenes happenings in the sport: commitment graphics and how that process works.

To break it all down, Tim is talking to Kevin Pierson, who is better known on social media as ScoopEditz. Pierson made the commitment graphic and video for Buckeyes commit, 2024 five-star quarterback and No. 1 overall player in the country Dylan Raiola, who picked the Buckeyes on May 10.

Raiola is going to be hyped as one of the best quarterback prospects in recent memory. And to make his announcement, he had the choice of any editor in the country. What made him choose ScoopEditz?

Where did the inspiration come from for the commitment video for Buckeyes commit and 2024 five-star quarterback Dylan Raiola? How did he make the decision to hire Kevin to make the video for him to post on Twitter? And just how good can Raiola be at Ohio State? Tim May and Kevin talk about that and plenty more on the latest episode of the show.

Predicting pair of five-star prospects to Ohio State

Since both players camped at Ohio State last summer, Caleb Downs and Brandon Inniss have been at the top of the Buckeyes recruiting board.

The momentum for the Buckeyes has gotten stronger, and that’s why Lettermen Row predicted both to pick the Buckeyes when they decide to announce a commitment.

Downs, the No. 1 safety and No. 12 player overall in the On3 national rankings, is a do-it-all safety from Mill Creek (Hoschton, Georgia) High School who recently took an official visit to Notre Dame and Georgia. He’ll be at Alabama this weekend before a trip to Columbus for an official visit during the final weekend of June.

Those factors seem to be aligning for Ohio State. That’s why the pick is in, and with 60-percent confidence, Lettermen Row is predicting Downs will choose the Buckeyes.

Inniss is currently the No. 4 wide receiver and No. 22 overall player in the country, according to the On3 Consensus rankings. The wide receiver out of American Heritage (Fla.) has not set a commitment date, but Lettermen Row has logged a prediction for Ohio State on the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine. The confidence level is at 70%.
