Five-star offensive tackle Caden Moss announced his commitment to Ohio State on Friday, joining the program's 2027 recruiting class.
"It was a very close race between Ole Miss, Kentucky, and Ohio State these last few days," Moss told Rivals' Chad Simmons. "There wasn't necessarily a top school most of this week. They were all battling. I was talking everything over with my family and my mom and looking at all the information I had to see what fit me best."
Moss is the No. 15 overall prospect on the ESPN 300 and the top-rated recruit from the state of Mississippi. He's the third 2027 five-star recruit to pledge to the Buckeyes, joining defensive end D.J. Jacobs and wide receiver Jamier Brown.
"Other than that feeling after praying about it, it came down to the development, culture and tradition at Ohio State," Moss said. "There is no better place than Ohio State to get me where I want to go."
Moss spent his official visits at LSU, Tennessee, Oregon, Kentucky, Ole Miss, and Ohio State.
