Ohio State Football Loses Out on Impactful Recruit to SEC Powerhouse
The Ohio State Buckeyes love depth on their defense line, and they recently lost out on a lineman they offered. They were beaten out by an SEC juggernaut.
The Ohio State Buckeyes are a premier program in college football, and while they are widely known for developing wide receivers and cornerbacks, they have several defensive linemen who have successfully jumped to the highest level in football.
Columbus has quietly become a terrific place to develop for linemen, but that didn’t quite provide enough pull for Jamir Perez. He recently committed to the University of Florida. To make matters even worse, he was from Ohio as well.
Now, Perez wasn’t among the highest-ranked offensive linemen in the Class of 2026, coming in as a three-star recruit and ranking as the 26th-best player in the state, but he was offered by Ohio State. He is ranked as the 104th-best defensive lineman in the composite rankings by 247Sports, dropping from the 77th-best lineman in their normal ranking.
Hayes Fawcett reported the news that the Cleveland, OH-native would be making his way down to Florida. Perez is a massive lineman who should make an impact for the Gators at some point in the future.
