Ohio State received a verbal commitment from Prince Goldsby, a four-star linebacker from suburban Kansas City, on May 25.
It was the second commitment in as many weeks for the Buckeyes as Goldsby followed Wyatt Smith, a four-star defensive end who had made his pledge eight days earlier.
“I can’t wait to be apart of this unbelievable program with great coaches who teach you, great players who push you and the best fan base in college football who expect nothing less than excellence,” Goldsby wrote in a post on X.
Goldsby is the No. 101 prospect in the nation in the 2027 class and No. 7 linebacker, according to 247Sports’ composite rankings.
He made 83 tackles, 22.5 tackles for loss and 13.5 sacks last fall as a junior at Blue Springs South High School, expanding his profile as a prospect.
The Buckeyes extended the 6-foot-3, 205-pound linebacker a scholarship in February. He also had offers from Alabama and Indiana.
Goldsby is one of two linebackers who are committed to join Ohio State in 2027 along with Quinton Cypher, a four-star from Raleigh, North Carolina, who committed late last year.
