"With Ohio State preparing for a College Football Playoff quarterfinal bout with Miami later this week, coach Ryan Day and the Buckeyes secured a five-star commitment Monday from 2027 defensive end D.J. Jacobs, the No. 11 overall prospect in the ESPN Junior 300. Jacobs, a 6-foot-5, 225-pound pass rusher from Roswell, Georgia, gave his pledge to Ohio State over Georgia, Miami, Texas A&M, Notre Dame and Oregon, among the leading contenders from a deep list of Power 4 finalists."
"Jacobs currently stands as ESPN's No. 1 prospect in the state of Georgia and No. 5 overall defender in the 2027 class. His commitment hands No. 2 Ohio State a jolt of recruiting momentum ahead of Ohio State's Cotton Bowl bout with No. 10 Miami on Wednesday (7:30 PM EST, ESPN), 25 days after the defending national champions suffered their first loss of the season against No. 1 Indiana in the Big Ten title game on Dec. 6."
Ohio State received a commitment from five-star 2027 defensive end D.J. Jacobs, the No. 11 prospect in the ESPN Junior 300. Jacobs, a 6-foot-5, 225-pound pass rusher from Roswell, Georgia, chose Ohio State over top programs including Georgia, Miami, Texas A&M, Notre Dame and Oregon. ESPN ranks him as Georgia's No. 1 prospect and the No. 5 defender nationally in the 2027 class. He recorded 102 tackles and 16 sacks as a junior and nearly 300 tackles across three varsity seasons. Jacobs is a three-year starter at Blessed Trinity High School, the son of former Georgia defensive tackle David Jacobs, and the godson of Mark Richt. His pledge joins five-star receiver Jamier Brown and other ESPN 300 commits in Ohio State's 2027 class, strengthening the program's recruiting momentum ahead of the Cotton Bowl.
