Ohio State pushes coveted quarterback ahead of schedule
Ohio State Buckeyes continue their positive progress in shaping future recruitment courses, showing no signs of slowing down in quarterback talent. Following the latest commitment and proposals to top prospects, including players like Julian Sayin and Tavien St. Clair, the Buckeyes are now focusing on the next generation. Their latest move? Expand early quotes to 2028 quarterback Jayden Wade.
Wade currently plays for the IMG Academy in Florida and is still wasting despite being years away from college. Wade stood out with calmness and the strength of his arms and quickly became one of the most watched names in the 2028 grade.
Wade went to social media on Monday and expressed excitement about Ohio State's proposal.
Wade posted on X: “I’m very lucky to say that I’ve received an offer from Ohio State and tagged several recruiting analysts and coaches, including @coachfess and @craighaubert.

Ohio State's early interest proved Wade's growing reputation. The Buckeyes join an increasing number of elite programs, hoping to acquire a young quarterback. Wade already holds quotes for Florida, Colorado Buffalo, Georgia Bulldog and Auburn Tiger.
Each of these plans demonstrates an intention to have an early relationship with Wade, who is likely one of the top names in his class.

The decision made early on by the Buckeyes highlights their commitment to stay ahead of the recruiting competition. As Jayden Wade's stock continues to rise, more strong plans are expected to enter the combination.
But thanks to their early proposals and solid quarterback development reputation, Ohio State positioned itself as a serious contender in the battle of one of the most promising signal callers of 2028.
