As the Ohio State football team prepares for either Texas A&M or Miami in the Cotton Bowl Classic, the recruiting train keeps rolling. Currently, the Buckeyes have seven committed players in the 2027 class, but that number could jump to eight very soon. Four-star linebacker Quinton Cypher is down to four schools, and OSU has made the cut.

Cypher hails from Raleigh, North Carolina, and is rated as the No. 11 linebacker in the class according to 247Sports composite rankings. Watching this young man on film, he is explosive, quick to the ball, and can catch players from behind. Recently, Cypher narrowed his choices down to four schools, which include Ohio State, Alabama, Georgia, and Miami.

However, it seems that OSU may have the inside track. According to insiders, the Buckeyes and Bulldogs are in a battle for this one, but On3's Steve Wiltfong logged a crystal ball prediction for Cypher to choose the Scarlet and Gray shortly after the list was trimmed to four.

It sounds as if we'll have an answer sooner rather than later, as the 6-foot-3, 215-pound linebacker will make his announcement sometime this week. Hopefully, James Laurianitis can work his magic and make it happen.
