Ohio State commit Emanuel Ruffin brings four-star size and power to the defensive line
Emanuel Ruffin is a **2026 Ohio State defensive line commit** who combines rare mass with production, coming out of Bessemer City as a **four-star prospect**, Alabama’s No. 7-ranked player, and a defender with **150+ career tackles**. His appeal is the blend of **power and explosion** at 6-foot-4, 295 pounds, giving him the kind of interior/edge versatility coaches value in disruptive DLs. He fits best as a high-upside, physical tone-setter who can anchor against the run and win with force rather than finesse.
