2024 Four-star tight end puts Ohio State in top three

||

After missing out on tight end C.J. Dippre in the transfer portal, Ohio State got some good news in the form of a top-ten tight end in the class of 2024. Christian Bentancur of Woodstock, Illinois, announced he has narrowed his list to three schools which include Clemson, Oregon, and Ohio State.

Bentancur is a four-star prospect and is the No. 4 ranked tight end in the class according to 247Sports composite rankings. As a sophomore at Marion Central Catholic, Bentancur hauled in 49 receptions for over 1,000 yards and 11 touchdowns.

The Illinois native has visited Columbus twice, once back in June and again in September for the win against Notre Dame. While no predictions have been made, the On3 recruiting prediction machine which factors such things as social sentiment, visits, and historical trends, gives OSU a slight advantage in earning a commitment from Bentancur.

It’s still very early in the process and as we’ve seen over and over again, a verbal commitment doesn’t mean a whole lot. Regardless, it’s good to know that the Buckeyes have made a good impression.

Maybe being a midwest kid will play in favor of Ohio State when it’s all said and done. Until then, the Bucks will have plenty of competition from the Ducks and Tigers to land the young man’s services.
