1. Na’eem Offord is taking two visits to Alabama this week. Ohio State should be very concerned.

Gorney’s take: FACT. Na’eem Offord was in Tuscaloosa earlier this week and he’s expected back at Alabama this weekend for an official visit. I talked to a good source earlier this week who said the Crimson Tide are definitely the team to watch here but that Auburn, Georgia, Oregon and now LSU are jumping in the picture as well. Sometimes, when this happens, a prospect will back off his commitment to review everything and then make a later decision. Ohio State is still in very good shape here and playing alongside fellow five-star Devin Sanchez is a major draw but there is not a lot of reasons to be concerned.

Birmingham’s take: FACT. Ohio State should be concerned about the status of Na’eem Offord’s recruitment but not specifically because of these trips to Alabama or his recent visits to Auburn or Oregon. It’s 2024 and nearly every five-star recruitment will be a nailbiter but that’s especially true when it involves a player from the heart of SEC who is committed anywhere.
