Fort Lauderdale (Fla.) St. Thomas Aquinas<\/a> Rivals four-star cornerback Jaden Carey<\/a> announced his commitment to Ohio State<\/a> on Wednesday evening.<\/p>\n

He chose Ryan Day<\/a> and the Buckeyes over Miami and Auburn. His father, Marcus, played for the Hurricanes with Miami head coach Mario Cristobal<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Carey is the No. 463 overall prospect and No. 45 CB in the 2027 cycle, according to the\u00a0Rivals Industry Ranking<\/a>, a weighted average that utilizes all major recruiting media companies. He\u2019s also the No. 39 recruit in Florida.<\/p>\n

Rivals ranks the 6-foot, 175-pounder higher than other recruiting services. He checks in as the No. 223 recruit, No. 27 corner and No. 21 player in the Sunshine State, per the updated Rivals300.<\/p>\n

Position coach Tim Walton<\/a> has won out for another blue-chipper, giving OSU its 15th total commit this cycle. The Buckeyes\u2019 class now ranks 7th nationally, according to the Rivals Industry Team Recruiting Rankings.<\/p>\n

Ohio State and Miami emerged as the top two contenders in Carey\u2019s recruitment. While the appeal of staying in-state and playing for the Hurricanes was tempting, he\u2019s opted to head for Big Ten country.<\/p>\n

\u201cJust their all-around culture, their staff, their players,\u201d Carey told Rivals\u2019 Adam Gorney<\/a> about OSU. \u201cThe main goal about that visit was to see how I fit in with the players and with the coaching staff and the culture. That was fun to see.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cA big thing for me is development because I want to get to the next level,\u201d he said. \u201cThem having that resume of all their NFL experience on the coaching staff definitely has them as a priority for me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Buckeyes keep adding to Top-10 class<\/p>\n

Ohio State isn\u2019t unfamiliar with beating Miami in a big recruitment this cycle. <\/p>\n

Back in December, The U was trending to land Roswell (Ga.) Blessed Trinity Catholic Five-Star Plus+ EDGE\u00a0David Jacobs<\/a>\u00a0leading into his decision, but literally minutes before, Jacobs informed the Buckeyes that he was choosing them and not the Hurricanes. He\u2019s the No. 4 overall prospect and headlines the OSU haul.<\/p>\n

Big Walnut (Ohio) five-star wide receiver\u00a0Jamier Brown<\/a>\u00a0committed to the Buckeyes well over a year ago on Nov. 23, 2024. Much like Five-Star Plus+ WR signee\u00a0Chris Henry Jr.<\/a>, Brown was a huge early get for the OSU staff. Despite the departure of vaunted receivers coach\u00a0Brian Hartline<\/a>, Brown, the No. 14 overall prospect and No. 3 WR in the nation, remains locked in with the in-state program.<\/p>\n

The blue-chip playmakers are flanked by a quintet of offensive linemen. Liberty Center (Ohio) four-star IOL\u00a0Kellen Wymer<\/a>\u00a0headlines as a top-100 prospect, while Pittsburgh Central Catholic four-star OT\u00a0Jimmy Kalis<\/a>\u00a0is a top-300 recruit.<\/p>\n

Carey adds to an impressive defensive back haul. June has also brought a commitment from Massillon (Ohio) Washington four-star cornerback Deontay Malone<\/a>. Cibolo (Texas) Steele four-star safety Eli Johnson<\/a> and Hollywood (Fla.) Chaminade-Madonna three-star safety Angelo Smith<\/a> have both been committed since last year.<\/p>\n
