Four-star linebacker recruit Quinton Cypher has committed to the Ohio State Buckeyes over the Georgia Bulldogs, Miami Hurricanes and Alabama Crimson Tide. Cypher is a talented recruit in the class of 2027.
The four-star is one of Ohio State's eight commitments in the 2027 recruiting cycle. The Buckeyes have the No. 4 recruiting class in the nation, per 247Sports.
Cypher plays high school football for Millbrook High School in Raleigh, North Carolina. The 6-foot-2, 220-pound linebacker is ranked as the No. 150 recruit in the junior class. The Millbrook standout is the No. 9 linebacker in the country and the sixth-best recruit in North Carolina.
Cypher and Millbrook lost to Hough 21-0 in the 8A state championship in North Carolina. It was Millbrook's first state championship appearance in school history, which is an impressive accomplishment, but the game did not go how Cypher wanted.
Cypher has had an extremely productive high school career with Millbrook. He posted at least 150 tackles, three sacks and forced at least three turnovers during the 2023 and 2024 high school football seasons, per 247Sports.
The newest Ohio State commitment had visited Georgia football five times. The Bulldogs will have to look elsewhere for an elite linebacker prospect. Georgia has six commitments in the class of 2027, but none at linebacker.
