That was the big question when 2025 Florida linebacker Taavos Alford visited Ohio State last week. How seriously did he take the Buckeyes?
The short answer is very serious. The 247Sports Crystal Ball picks flooded in Wednesday with the 6-foot-2, 210-pound prospect expected to choose Ohio State when he announces his commitment Saturday.
It's not just who gets elected, it's who gets elected. National recruiting analysts Steve Wiltfong and Brian Dohrn were among the forecasters, as well as Florida insider Blake Alderman and Buckeye insider Bill Klelic. . It's very likely that Ohio State will add the No. 63 overall prospect and No. 8 ranked linebacker to the class, according to Saturday's 247Sports Composite Rankings.
Crystal ball alert!
