Ohio State pursuing 2027 RB, LB prospects committed elsewhere
Ohio State is working on potential flips within its 2027 recruiting class. The Buckeyes are pursuing Wisconsin running back commit Kingston Allen and Buffalo linebacker James Conrad, according to Lettermen Row.
Ohio State is reportedly pursuing two 2027 prospects who are already committed to other programs. The targets are Kingston Allen, a running back pledged to Wisconsin, and James Conrad, a linebacker pledged to Buffalo, according to Lettermen Row. The Buckeyes are exploring whether either recruitment can be flipped.
In college football, verbal commitments can remain changeable before signing, so schools often keep recruiting players committed elsewhere. This report places Ohio State's 2027 efforts within that broader practice, though no outcome is assured.
If Ohio State's interest leads to a flip, it could affect the players, their families, and the Wisconsin and Buffalo programs, while reshaping fan expectations around the 2027 class. Such recruiting moves may also influence how other schools approach committed prospects, though the impact would likely remain limited to college sports. For now, the story mainly matters to recruiting followers and the teams involved.
