Ohio State Boasts Epic Spring Run: Thrilling Showsets Up for Exciting Year!

2027 four-star WR Khalil Taylor and Ohio State head coach Ryan Day | via @KhalilTaylor08 on X Midway through March and much of the talk around Columbus rightfully is focused on the Ohio State men’s basketball Buckeyes making the NCAA Tournament for the first time in years. The appearance is the first for both Ohio State head coach Jake Diebler and Ohio State new-leading scoring Bruce Thornton, and the Buckeyes drew TCU for their first game. While March is and will always belong to college basketball, spring is also a busy time for the Ohio State football team.

Ryan Day and the Buckeyes are already in the thick of spring practices and are about a month away from the annual spring game. Spring practices are crucial for the Ohio State coaching staff in determining the various position battles heading into the 2026-27 season. The Buckeyes brought in more new talent this year than in recent memory and because of this, this spring will be more important than most.

But spring practices are also big recruiting tools for the Buckeyes as the team is able to play host to numerous amounts of recruits at a time. These recruits get to spend time with the coaching staff and players but also get a firs-hand view of what it takes to be a Buckeye and the rewards that come along with that hard work. Spring practices are already paying dividends for Ryan Day and the Buckeyes as multiple recruits are already higher on the team than they were just weeks ago thanks to these practices.

One of those recruits that Ohio State is quickly gaining ground with is 2027 four-star wide receiver Khalil Taylor (Gibsonia, PA / Pine-Richland). Taylor visited with Ohio State last Thursday and it appears to have gone as well as possible. Entering the visit, Taylor already had six official visits planned for this year with Indiana, Penn State, Georgia, Colorado, Nebraska and Syracuse all on the schedule.
