He\u2019s the No. 2 player from Ohio in the 2028 class, per 247Sports\u2019 composite rankings.\n<\/p>\n \t\tThe Whyce File<\/p>\n \t\t\tClass: 2028<\/p>\n \t\t\tSize:\u00a06-4\/270<\/p>\n \t\t\tPos:\u00a0DT<\/p>\n \t\t\tSchool:\u00a0Trotwood-Madison (Dayton, Ohio)<\/p>\n \t\t\tComposite Rating: \u2605\u2605\u2605\u2605\u2605<\/a><\/p>\n \t\t\tComposite Rank:\u00a0#33 (#5 DL)<\/p>\n \n\tHe becomes Ohio State\u2019s second commitment in the 2028 class, joining running back Elijah Newman-Hall<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n \n\tWhyce is the third player to commit to Ohio State this week, joining 2026 offensive tackle Landry Brede<\/a> and safety Khmari Bing<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n \n\tThough he\u2019s only a sophomore at Trotwood-Madison, Whyce had already received offers from more than a dozen schools, also including Miami, Maryland, Illinois, Louisville, Missouri, N.C. State, Purdue and West Virginia, among others.\n<\/p>\n \n\tAlready standing at 6-foot-4 and 270 pounds, Whyce projects to play defensive tackle for the Buckeyes. Pairing excellent athleticism with his long frame, Whyce \u2013 who is nicknamed \u201cJuice\u201d \u2013 emerged as an immediate difference-maker for Trotwood-Madison as a freshman, blowing up plays in the backfield with his quickness and nose for the ball.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \n\tWith more than two years of high school football still to go, Whyce still has plenty of room to grow in his game but\u00a0has the tools to be a potential future star in the middle of Ohio State\u2019s defensive line.\n<\/p>\n
