Ryan Day and the Ohio State Buckeyes have added another valuable player to their already stellar 2025 college football recruiting class. Safety Faheem Delane, ranked No. 52 overall in the 2025 ESPN 300, announced his commitment to Ohio State on Sunday.

Delane, a standout defensive back at Maryland's Good Counsel High School, chose Ohio State over LSU and Oregon after an official visit with the Buckeyes over the weekend. Representing one of the strongest defensive classes in the nation, Delane's commitment adds to Ohio State's impressive roster of talent.

Hailing from Maryland, Delane is ESPN's second-ranked recruit in the state and the No. 4 safety in the 2025 class. The 6-foot-3, 210-pound defender brings both size and skill to the Buckeyes' lineup, making him a valuable addition to their defense.

This marks Ohio State's ninth commitment from within the top 150 of the ESPN 300 for the 2025 cycle. The Buckeyes have positioned themselves as a top destination for high-profile recruits, and their recruiting success shows no signs of slowing down.

In addition to Delane, Ohio State has secured commitments from two of the top cornerbacks in the 2025 class. Na'eem Offord, ranked No. 6 overall, and Devin Sanchez, ranked No. 12, will provide further strength to the Buckeyes' defensive backfield. Defensive end London Merritt (No. 36) and outside linebacker Tarvos Alford (No. 59) round out the impressive defensive recruits.

With the addition of Delane, Ohio State's 2025 recruiting class continues to make waves in the college football community. Under the guidance of Ryan Day, the Buckeyes are setting their sights on building a championship-caliber team filled with top talent.

Time will tell how this star-studded recruiting class fares on the field, but one thing is for certain - Ohio State is assembling a formidable team for the future. The commitment of Faheem Delane only solidifies the Buckeyes' position as a force to be reckoned with in the college football realm.
