Ryan Day's Ohio State Buckeyes landed the commitment of edge rusher Khary Wilder, marking their 15th commit in the Class of 2026.
Wilder is an elite player who holds the No. 247th rank nationally and No. 23rd spot in the 2026 class, raking in a four-star rating. Defensive line was the only position the Buckeyes couldn't fill up for the 2026 class, till now.
"For my loved ones's. All glory to God. Go Buckeyes," said Wilder as per Hayes Fawcett's post.

Fellow Ohio State commit and wide receiver Chris Henry Jr. reacted to Wilder's commitment.
"Cali," wrote Henry Jr.
The Buckeyes hosted a cohort of six recruits on May 30, and Wilder was among them. During an interview with On3, Wilder emphasised the impact that the official visit had on him in Columbus.
"My visit had the biggest impact on my commitment,” Wilder told On3 on Tuesday. We knew about the program, but a great part of the visit was seeing the city. How lively it is, what it is like and me and my parents loved it. Seeing that I could live there and be happy really opened my eyes.”
He further stressed on the Buckeyes' coaching staff for his decision, especially defensive line coach Larry Johnson.
"Coach Johnson is a legend,” Wilder told On3 on Tuesday. “He is a big part of why I want to play for Ohio State. I want to play for him. He has produced so many Freshman All-Americans, All-Americans and defensive linemen who play in the NFL.
"Coach Larry Johnson and coach Matt Patricia made it feel like home. They have a plan for me to dominate and make it to the NFL."
Ohio State commit Chris Henry Jr. on embracing his dad, late NFL legend Chris Henry's legacy
Mater Dei's Chris Henry Jr. is one of the highly touted high school recruits, emerging as the No. 3 wide receiver in the Class of 2026. He's only behind Tristen Keys and Cederian Morgan.
On April 1, the 6-feet-5 prospect gave his commitment to Ryan Day's Ohio State and shut down his recruitment. Last month, in The Pivot Podcast, he opened up about the weight of expectations he shoulders, owing to his dad. NFL legend Chris Henry's legacy.
"The way I look at it is, having that name allows me to connect with certain types of people like yourself, high class athletes, elite athletes." Heny Jr. said.
"But for me, it’s just I want to build my own legacy and just having my dad, it’s not really like a shadow. It’s just like a blessing to have that legacy,”
He received offers from Georgia, Miami and others, but chose to team up with the Ohio State Buckeyes instead.
