COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Ohio State offensive line coach Tyler Bowen has four commitments in the 2026 class. And he’s looking for a fifth.

Friday night, Bowen was at Mentor High School to see Landry Brede, an NC State commit who recently picked up an offer from the Buckeyes. He got to see Brede do a myriad of different things -- including catch a tackle throwback pass -- as his in-person evaluation added to the interest from Ohio State.

Now, Brede is settling into decision mode with a current verbal commitment to NC State and a Buckeye coaching staff, led by Bowen, that’s pushing for a flip.
