In a major recruiting victory, Ohio State has secured the commitment of Mark Bowman, the No. 1-ranked tight end in the Class of 2027. Bowman chose the Buckeyes over powerhouse programs Alabama, Georgia, and Texas, marking a significant win for Ryan Day and his coaching staff in one of the most hotly contested battles of this recruiting cycle.
Hailing from Buford, Georgia, Bowman is a 6’6″, 235-pound athletic specimen known for his elite route-running, strong hands, and dominant presence in both the passing and blocking game. He’s drawn comparisons to former NFL star Rob Gronkowski and is seen as a future cornerstone in Ohio State’s offense.
Sources close to the recruitment say Bowman was drawn to Ohio State’s pro-style offense and the program’s consistent track record of developing NFL-ready talent. His official visit earlier this spring reportedly sealed the deal.
This commitment vaults Ohio State’s 2027 class to the top of national rankings and signals the program’s continued dominance in attracting top-tier offensive talent. Bowman’s decision is expected to have ripple effects across the recruiting landscape as others follow suit in what is shaping up to be an elite class for the Buckeyes.
