Elite Speed & Savvy Route-Running Make Him Ohio State's Next WR Star
Jaeden Ricketts, a 6'0", 190-lb three-star WR from Watkins Memorial High School, committed to Ohio State on Nov 16, 2024, and is one of only two Buckeye signees committed over a year. His differentiators include a 4.40s 40-yard dash, 37" vertical, and elite top-end speed paired with savvy route-running, strong hands, and exceptional YAC ability. No injury history reported; his intensity and track background (state finals in 100m) fuel his magic-making on the field. He's a perfect fit for Ohio State's high-tempo offense, bringing local pride and proven intensity to the 2026 class.
