You win some, you lose some. That is the recruiting mantra, and as Ohio State football continues to move up recruiting rankings it has been winning way more than losing. This most recent news deserves a spot in the L column though, as the Buckeyes missed on 2026 four-star quarterback recruit, Brady Hart.

The highly touted gunslinger from the state of Florida has recently announced his commitment to The Team Up North. Hart is a consensus top ten.

The future of the quarterback position was secured almost exactly one year ago, when Bellfontain (OH) gun slinger Tavien St. Clair committed to the Ohio State Buckeyes.

Since then, he has ascended heavily up the ranks, earning five-star status and earning an invite to the prestigious Elite 11 Finals in Los Angeles.

Joining St. Clair in L.A. for the finals will be an elite group of 19 other top signal callers from across the country, including fellow five-star Husan Longstreet, Julian Lewis, and Matt Zollers.

And he is both honored and eager to take part in that that competition on Tuesday.

“It’s an honor and a blessing to be a part of such a big known brand like Elite 11,” St. Clair told On3. It’s the most prestigious quarterback competition that you can be in. So being able to be a part of that and being a finalist is a dream come true.”

St. Clair currently ranks the No. 2 player nationally, No. 2 QB, and No. 1 player in Ohio, per 247Sports.

The Bellefontaine High School product completed 70.7 percent of his passes for 2,453 yards, 24 touchdowns, and four interceptions in his sophomore season.

In his junior campaign this past season he was even better, completing 233 of 330 passes for 3,983 yards and 37 touchdowns with six interceptions, also rushing 36 times for 352 yards and four scores.
