Highlights

Main idea: Ohio State is actively working to flip 4-star Indiana cornerback Monsani Torbert via strong local connections
Scouting report: Anthony Blaylock shows elite physical traits for an offensive lineman but needs improved ankle flexibility
Recruiting strategy: The coaching staff is leveraging local Cincinnati alumni to build relationships with high-profile in-state recruits
Failure mode: High-profile recruits like Monshun Sales are being evaluated based on development paths and NIL opportunities rather than just pure compensation
