In case you missed the news of the day, Ohio State landed one of its coveted wide receiver targets on Friday when 4-star 2026 wide receiver Jerquaden Guilford announced his verbal commitment to the Buckeyes over a hard-charging Ole Miss program. He makes the fifth receiver recruit for Brian Hartline and OSU, and one that seemed to be teetering on heading away from OSU after his announcement was postponed earlier in the month. Guilford was also a former Penn State commit back in December before opening things back up.
We like to share a little film of each Ohio State football recruit by mining for it by checking out our friends at Hudl, and we think you’ll like what you see with Guilford when you check out some of the highlights from his junior season.

He looks smooth, seems to get separation easily at all three levels of the defense, and clearly has top-end breakaway speed and length that could result in significant development once he gets into a program that can utilize his gifts appropriately. Ohio State would seem to fit that bill.
Guilford makes the 21st commitment in the 2026 class for the Buckeyes as they look to put the final touches on another top ten, potentially top five recruiting cycle.
