Ohio State Football misses out on five star offensive tackle

Ohio State Football has been a hotbed for talented offensive linemen over the last decade. Names like Paris Johnson Jr. and Billy Price have come to Ohio State and left being a first-round pick.

Unfortunately, for the Buckeyes, that allure doesn’t always attract the top talent, and that was the case for Josh Petty, a five-star tackle in the Class of 2025.

Petty went with Georgia Tech over some of the nation’s top programs, including Ohio State and

. “I know it’s the right place for me,” Petty told 247Sports. The home-field advantage played a large part.

rom Roswell, Georgia, Petty was the No. 2 overall tackle in the class and the No. 14 overall recruit. He was recruited by Justin Frye and took a visit to Columbus on June 14.

The Buckeyes have the No. 1 Class of 2025, but they don’t have a ton of top-tier offensive line talent. The best lineman joining Ohio State Football in the class of now is Carter Lowe, a four-star commit from Whitmer in Toledo.
