Ohio State is currently in the process of assembling one of the greatest recruiting classes of all time. There are already five five-stars committed to the Buckeyes for 2017, and most of their remaining commits are highly-ranked four-stars. With Young now on board, Ohio State only continues to pull away from everyone else in the 2017 recruiting rankings.
Young is the No. 2 ranked weak-side defensive end according to 247Sports. He is the No. 1 overall recruit out of the state of Maryland.
