Ohio State has added another notable piece to its future recruiting plans with a commitment from 2027 defensive tackle Karlos May. The Buckeyes continue to build momentum on the trail, and May’s pledge gives the program an early win in a class that is still taking shape.
May, a 4-star prospect, announced his decision on the Rivals YouTube Channel. According to the available report, he chose Ohio State over Auburn, Georgia and Florida State, giving the Buckeyes a significant recruiting victory against several major programs.
The commitment stands out because of both May’s position and the stage of the recruiting cycle. Landing a defensive tackle this early can help set the tone for a class, especially for a program looking to stay strong in the trenches on both sides of the ball.
For Ryan Day and Ohio State, May’s decision is the latest sign that the Buckeyes remain active and effective on the national recruiting scene. As the 2027 class develops, this commitment gives Ohio State an important building block up front.
