Top 2025 Ohio State football linebacker target will commit this weekend

Although Ohio State football’s 2025 recruiting class has commitments from linebackers Tarvos Alford and Eli Lee, it is looking to add one more prospect to the group.

Riley Pettijohn, the 6-foot, 2-inch and 215-pound Texas ‘backer visited Columbus at the end of May, and has since taken other visits to his finalists. The nation’s No. 31 overall prospect and 4th ranked at his position according to the 247Sports Composite Rankings is ready to shut down his recruiting process.

This coming Saturday, July 6th, Pettijohn will choose from his final four: Texas A&M, Texas, USC and Ohio State. The 247Sports Crystal Ball leader is currently the Longhorns, but it has been wrong before.

Ohio State would love at add yet another Lone Star State star to its roster, as they have been extremely successful recruiting Texas in the recent past.
