Ohio State has added another valuable piece to its future roster by securing a commitment from four-star tight end Corbyn Fordham. The highly-touted prospect announced his decision to join the Buckeyes, choosing Ohio State over offers from several powerhouse programs, including Alabama, Georgia, and Michigan.
Fordham, standing at 6-foot-5 and weighing 230 pounds, is ranked as one of the top tight ends in the 2025 recruiting class. Known for his versatility, Fordham excels as both a pass-catcher and a blocker, making him a perfect fit for Ohio State’s offensive system. His ability to stretch the field as a receiver while contributing in the run game provides the Buckeyes with a dynamic weapon at the position.
“Ohio State felt like home,” Fordham said in his announcement. “The coaching staff has a clear vision for how they want to utilize me, and I’m excited to be a part of this program’s winning tradition.”
The addition of Fordham reflects the continued recruiting success of head coach Ryan Day and tight ends coach Keenan Bailey. With the Buckeyes aiming to maintain their status as a top-tier program, landing elite recruits like Fordham ensures the team remains competitive in the Big Ten and on the national stage.
Fordham’s commitment bolsters an already impressive 2025 class and highlights Ohio State’s dedication to developing versatile, high-impact players. Fans can expect Fordham to make an immediate impact when he arrives in Columbus.
