COLUMBUS, Ohio - The Ohio State football program has added another member to its 2026 recruiting class by taking a player away from another Power 4 school.

Jay Timmons , the nation’s No. 136 player and No. 17 cornerback, had been committed to Florida State since June 24. His flip is notable because he had planned on following in the footsteps of his father, Lawrence Timmons, who starred at as a linebacker for the Seminoles from 2004-06.

Jay Timmons plays for Pine-Richland High School in Gibsonia, Pa., just north of Pittsburgh. His father played 11 seasons in the NFL, 10 of them with the Steelers, and earned Pro Bowl honors in 2014.
