BOOM! Ohio State football lands 4-star quarterback for 2026 recruiting class
Still, as we have seen in the past, especially in the age of Name, Image and Likeness, loose transfer rules, and now direct revenue payments, you can never have too many quarterbacks. The news may not be the splash of quarterback commitments in the past, but Ohio State has been very good at identifying and developing talent at the position, so there must be something there to work with.
Out of Mission Viejo, California, Fahey is ranked as the No. 25 quarterback and 357th overall recruit in the class according to the 247Sports Composite rankings. He's only 6-foot, 180 pounds, so he'll likely need to get into the weight room and be an option a couple of seasons down the road.
Fahey was a late effort by the Buckeyes after all of their other higher-profile targets committed elsewhere, with Fahey choosing Ohio State over Stanford and Indiana. He makes the 20th commitment in the OSU recruiting class.

Penn State Ranks Inside Top Five in EA Sports College Football 26, QB Drew Allar Makes Rating Jump
Penn State Ranks Inside Top Five in EA Sports College Football 26, QB Drew Allar Makes Rating Jump originally appeared on Athlon Sports. After making a deep run in the college football playoffs last year, and garnering another top tier roster going into the 2025 season, Penn State has gained the respect of the rating makers on EA Sports College Football 26. Advertisement Last year before the highly anticipated game was released, the Nittany Lions ranked as the 9th best team in the game. They now sit in the four spot, although they have the same rating as they did last season, 88 overall. Nevertheless they saw a rise in their ranking, and are ranked as the second ranked team in the BIG 10, behind Ohio State who is number three on the list. Starting quarterback for Penn State Drew Allar did see a rise in his individual rating. He decided to forgo the NFL draft and come back for his senior season at Penn State. With back to back seasons of great numbers the rating makers seem to think Allar is due for a leap. His first full season as a starter in his sophomore season Allar threw for 2,631 yards. He also had 25 touchdown passes flanked by just two interceptions. Last year he threw for 3,327 yards, 24 TDs, and eight INTs. Advertisement Allar is ranked as the third highest overall quarterback prior to the game's release at a 92 overall. Last year before the game was released Allar was rated an 88 overall. Allar again this year is surrounded by some of college football's weapons. It would not be shocking by the end of the season that people look up and he is the highest rated QB on the game. He is walking into his last season of college ball with things you can not teach. He has top-level arm strength, top-level talent around him, and most importantly experience. He has played at the some of the biggest stages you can in his career, and has faced some of college football's best teams. In 2025 there is not a lot of things that will catch Allar off guard.

BOOM! Ohio State football lands 4-star quarterback for 2026 recruiting class
Finally, mercifully, the Ohio State football program has found its long-sought-after quarterback for the 2026 recruiting cycle. The Buckeyes' struggles in gaining a commitment in the cycle could be because they are so solid in the room for the next few years with five-star prospect Julian Sayin, returning combatant Lincoln Kienholz, and another five-star freshman Tavien St.-Clair all in the fold. Still, as we have seen in the past, especially in the age of Name, Image and Likeness, loose transfer rules, and now direct revenue payments, you can never have too many quarterbacks. The news may not be the splash of quarterback commitments in the past, but Ohio State has been very good at identifying and developing talent at the position, so there must be something there to work with.

WATCH: Ohio State quarterback commit Luke Fahey junior season highlights
The news of the day for the Ohio State football program is that it finally got its quarterback for the 2026 recruiting class. Four-star prospect Luke Fahey announced his verbal commitment to the program on Thursday, ending an almost year-long search for a signal-caller in the class. Not only do we like to bring you the recruiting news, including commitment announcements for the Ohio State football team, but we like to scour the internet to find some highlights to share with you so you have an idea of what the Buckeyes are getting. Of course, there's no way to tell whether what we see in high school will ultimately translate to the college game, but you can pick out some skills and traits by looking at the video. Our go-to source for most of the highlights comes from our friends at Hudl, and that's where we went for Fahey's highlights as well. Fahey seems to have a quick, easy release while being decisive in his reads. We'll see how he develops even further under the tutelage of Ryan Day and staff.
