Ohio State is intensifying its push to lock down the next generation of elite wide receivers for the 2028 recruiting class. The program recently secured a commitment from five‑star prospect Jett Harrison, a player whose size and route‑running ability have drawn comparisons to recent Buckeyes standouts.
Among the other targets, Brysen Wright of Mandarin, Florida, has emerged as a high‑priority recruit. Wright’s sophomore season saw him catch 46 passes for 983 yards and 10 touchdowns, showcasing a physical maturity that many analysts believe translates well to the college game.
Wright’s father, Colby Wright, has indicated that Ohio State must rebuild relationships after the departure of longtime recruiter Brian Hartline, a move that has added urgency to the Buckeyes’ outreach efforts.
A Crucial Stretch Ahead
Wide receivers coach Cortez Hankton is now leading the effort to keep the dialogue open with Wright and his family, emphasizing continuity and development. Both the University of Miami and the University of Florida have signaled strong interest, adding another layer of competition as the Buckeyes aim to shape the 2028 receiving corps.
