COMMITTED: Coach Bowen Lands A Massive Recruiting Win with the Commitment of Caden Moss
Ohio State likely closes out its 2027 offensive line class by beating SEC powers for one of the nation’s premier tackle prospects.
Ohio State added one of the biggest pieces to its 2027 recruiting class on Friday, securing a commitment from four-star offensive tackle Caden Moss out of Jackson, Mississippi.
At 6-foot-5 and 320 pounds, Moss is widely viewed as one of the top offensive tackles in the country. More importantly, his commitment represents a significant recruiting victory for the Buckeyes. Landing a top-100 offensive lineman from SEC territory is never easy, and Ohio State beat out programs including Ole Miss Rebels football, LSU Tigers football, Oregon Ducks football, Tennessee Volunteers football, and Kentucky Wildcats football to make it happen.
From a recruiting standpoint, this is one of Ohio State’s most impressive offensive line additions in recent memory. Moss becomes the Buckeyes’ first top-100 offensive line prospect from outside Ohio since Donovan Jackson joined the program in the 2021 recruiting cycle.
Ohio State identified Moss as a priority early in the process, and that relationship paid off. He remained one of the Buckeyes’ top offensive line targets throughout the cycle and ultimately became the final addition to what now appears to be a complete offensive line haul.
Moss joins an already impressive group featuring Kellen Wymer, Mason Wilt, Davis Seaman, and Brody McNeel, giving Ohio State six offensive line commitments in the 2027 class and further strengthening what is shaping up to be one of the nation’s top recruiting groups.

Coach’s Take
Production always matters, but when you’re recruiting offensive linemen, traits often separate good classes from great ones. Moss brings the combination of frame, mass, movement skills, and developmental upside that offensive line coaches covet. Winning this recruitment in SEC country says just as much about Ohio State’s recruiting momentum under Tyler Bowen as it does about the player himself. If the Buckeyes continue stacking wins like this in the trenches, they’ll be built to compete for championships well beyond 2027.
