Ohio State entering the mix for top 200 EDGE Elijah Littlejohn
COLUMBUS — Ohio State only has a few more days on the trail before a short dead period begins on the recruiting calendar. The Buckeyes are certainly making the most of their remaining time seeing prospects and targets.
They are also identifying new targets.
Ohio State defensive back coaches Tim Walton and Matt Guerrieri stopped at West Charlotte High School in North Carolina on Wednesday to see several prospects, but the biggest was 2026 EDGE/linebacker Elijah Littlejohn.
The three-star talent is the No. 191 overall prospect and No. 15 EDGE according to On3.
While the Buckeyes didn’t offer, it was the introduction to one of the country’s many fast-rising talents.
“The conversation I had with them coaches was very good,” Littlejohn told Lettermen Row. “They talked about what they run on defense, what they would use me to play on defense, and they were talking about how good their program is.”
“I haven’t really been talking to Ohio State but they came by the school in the winter too.”
Littlejohn holds a nice collection of offers already. Besides regional programs like Wake Forest, North Carolina, South Carolina and North Carolina State, places like Tennessee, Michigan, Alabama, Miami and Wisconsin have also offered Littlejohn.
At 6-foot-3, 215 pounds, Littlejohn fits the mold of a big linebacker but also the JACK. Compare his size to that of 2025 EDGE target Justin Hill — 6-foot-3, 220 pounds — and the JACK position fits the bill.
Littlejohn didn’t make a mention about visiting Ohio State this summer, but it could be something in the cards for him. Outside of the Carolinas, he’s visited Tennessee and Michigan.
Ohio State continues to hit the road for the next few days before the dead period starts on Sunday. The camp season begins very soon, with the first camp on June 5. The Buckeyes have offered plenty of guys through their camps and Littlejohn could be the next.
