BREAKING NEWS: CARTER LOWE a highly coveted 4-star offensive tackle for the class of 2025 commits to Ohio State Football.

A few weeks remain until National Signing Day for the 2024 class, but verbal pledges from the 2025 recruiting class are already creating waves. Under the direction of head coach Ryan Day, Toledo, Ohio’s 4-star offensive tackle Carter Lowe has declared his commitment to The Ohio State Buckeyes. Lowe’s hometown is only two and a half hours away from Columbus, so his passion has a very local flavor.

Lowe’s choice is noteworthy since, according to the 247Sports composite rankings, he is Ohio’s third-best player, the ninth-best tackle in the country, and the 79th-best player overall for the 2025 class. With this promise, Ohio State’s recruiting efforts are strengthened even more. Based only on verbal commitments, Ohio State is currently ranked sixth for the 2025 class. Lowe chose The Buckeyes over prominent programs like Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama, and Michigan.

The success in landing a top prospect like Lowe reflects positively on Coach Ryan Day and his staff, who have been notably active in both traditional recruiting and the transfer portal. On the flip side, Kirby Smart and the Georgia Bulldogs are actively engaged in recruiting for the 2025 class, focusing on The Peach State and neighboring areas. Despite their efforts, there is still ample time for Georgia to expand and potentially secure another top-rated recruiting class, similar to their achievements in 2024.
