Buckeyes Land Alabama’s 2027 Defensive Tackle Titan
Karlos May, a standout defensive tackle from Ramsay High School in Alabama, has committed to Ohio State’s 2027 class, choosing the Buckeyes over Auburn, Georgia, and Florida State. After missing last season with injury, May returned to post 43 tackles, four sacks, and two interceptions in ten games. He also excels in track and field, having qualified for state in discus and shot put as a sophomore. May becomes the fourth defensive lineman in this recruiting cycle, joining DJ Jacobs, Marcus Fakatou, and Wyatt Smith. With defensive line coach Larry Johnson’s proven NFL-caliber development, Ohio State continues its recruiting momentum—having secured six prospects in June—and now turns its eye toward 5-star running back David Gabriel-Georges, whose decision looms on July 22.
Finally, Ohio State is beefing up its trench warfare with a touch of Alabama grit—because what’s better than one gigantic, mutation-level defensive tackle? Nothing says “we mean business” like a 2027 recruit whose hobbies include tossing shot puts at mere mortals. Meanwhile, Coach Johnson, the ageless wizard of linemen recruitment, must be snickering as he converts high school bruisers into future NFL draft gems. And yes, the Buckeyes are still chasing that mythical creature, David Gabriel-Georges, because no recruiting cycle is complete without dangling one more shiny bauble before your next helmeted hero. Stay tuned for July’s commitment cliffhanger—popcorn not included.
Ex-Buckeye Ignites Vegas with Summer League Fireworks
Former Ohio State guard Bruce Thornton led the Houston Rockets to the NBA Summer League semifinals in Las Vegas, averaging 21.2 points, 3.7 rebounds, 3.7 assists, and three steals over his first four games. Despite a tough semifinal showing against the Memphis Grizzlies, Thornton impressed with a 27-point outing versus the Nuggets, a 17-point defensive showcase against the Raptors, and a 23-point performance to clinch the semis against the Nets. Selected 31st in this year’s draft, Thornton has demonstrated a mix of high-octane offense and tenacious defense, projecting him as a long-term reserve with starter upside in Houston.
Ah, the NBA Summer League—the only place where missing 10 straight shots still counts as “high-volume offense.” Bruce Thornton strutted into Vegas like a Buckeye on Bourbon Street, reminding everyone that his college scoring binge was no fluke. Sure, the Grizzlies slapped him back to reality with an 8-point dud, but that’s just part of the rite of passage for every wannabe Hoops Messiah. Now he’s pegged as the next bench spark-plug, destined to ride the trade carousel or earn a glorified spot in a European league—unless Houston discovers he’s the 6’4” unicorn they’ve been dreaming of. Popcorn-ready fans can’t wait to see which version shows up next.
