\n Ohio State has added a third linebacker to its 2026 recruiting class. <\/p>\n

\n\tThree-star Georgia prospect Braxton Rembert<\/a> announced his commitment to Ohio State on Tuesday, joining in-state prospects Cincere Johnson<\/a> and CJ Sanna<\/a> as the Buckeyes\u2019 linebackers for the 2026 class.\n<\/p>\n

\t\tThe Rembert File<\/p>\n

\t\t\tClass: 2026<\/p>\n

\t\t\tSize:\u00a06-6\/200<\/p>\n

\t\t\tPos:\u00a0LB<\/p>\n

\t\t\tSchool:\u00a0Mill Creek (Hoschton, Georgia)<\/p>\n

\t\t\tComposite Rating: \u2605\u2605\u2605<\/a><\/p>\n

\t\t\tComposite Rank:\u00a0#590 (#56 EDGE)<\/p>\n

\n\tRembert had been committed to Wake Forest since June, but showed immediate interest in Ohio State after receiving an offer from the Buckeyes on Oct. 26. Less than a month later, Rembert opted to decommit from the Demon Deacons and join the defending national champions.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tRembert is ranked as the No. 590 overall prospect in 247Sports\u2019 composite rankings for the 2026 class.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tWhile Rembert\u2019s national ranking and offer list don\u2019t stand out, his play has stood out at Mill Creek High School, the alma mater of current Ohio State star Caleb Downs. Rembert has made plays all over the field this season for the Hawks, recording 49\u00a0tackles with 11 tackles for loss, nine sacks, three forced fumbles, an interception and six pass breakups.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tAt 6-foot-6, Rembert has an excellent combination of length, explosiveness and quickness that gives him high upside as a developmental linebacker prospect. He\u2019ll need to bulk up before he\u2019ll be ready to play a significant role at the collegiate level, but Ohio State\u2019s move to prioritize Rembert over other linebacker flip targets late in the cycle shows\u00a0James Laurinaitis\u2019 belief\u00a0in his potential.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tRembert is listed as an edge rusher by 247Sports but is expected to play linebacker for the Buckeyes, though his height\u00a0and pass-rushing ability could enable him to play on the edge situationally, much as Arvell Reese currently does for the Buckeyes.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tRembert becomes Ohio State\u2019s seventh commitment of November in the 2026 class, joining four other prospects who were also previously committed to other schools: cornerback Jay Timmons<\/a>\u00a0(Florida State),\u00a0defensive tackle Emanuel Ruffin<\/a>\u00a0(Colorado), offensive weapon\u00a0Legend Bey<\/a> (Tennessee),\u00a0offensive lineman Mason Wilhelm<\/a> (North Carolina), defensive end Dre Quinn<\/a> (Clemson) and tight end Nick Lautar<\/a> (Louisville).\n<\/p>\n
