Mya Wilson, a five‑star guard from Minnesota, announced her commitment to the Ohio State Buckeyes on Wednesday, choosing the Big Ten powerhouse over finalists Iowa, Minnesota and TCU. The decision comes as Ohio State continues to dominate the recruiting landscape, having secured a top‑tier class that already includes several other high‑ranked prospects.
Wilson arrives in Columbus with a proven track record of scoring excellence. In her junior season she surpassed the 2,000‑point milestone and erupted for 44 points in a single game, a performance that highlighted her ability to dominate on the right wing and from beyond the arc.
Scout Brandon Clay praised Wilson’s shooting instincts, noting that her comfort with the ball and her 3‑point accuracy are among the most polished in the 2027 class. "She’s a natural scorer who can stretch the floor and create her own shot, traits that translate well to the college game," Clay said.
A Recruit That Could Shift the Balance
Ohio State’s recent on‑court success adds context to the excitement surrounding Wilson’s pledge. The Buckeyes finished the 2025‑26 season with a 27‑8 record and were ranked No. 17 in the final AP poll, marking the fifth consecutive season the program has won at least 25 games.
That consistency has cemented the team’s reputation as a top‑tier program within the Big Ten, a conference that has seen a surge in national prominence over the past decade. Wilson’s addition is expected to reinforce Ohio State’s offensive firepower and deepen its roster ahead of the upcoming campaign.
The commitment also signals a recruiting victory over rival programs, underscoring the Buckeyes’ ability to attract elite talent from across the Midwest. As the team looks ahead, Wilson’s skill set could prove pivotal in pursuit of a conference title and a deep run in the NCAA tournament.
