Report: Buckeyes Land #1 QB in 2028 Class
Vargas chose the Buckeyes over several Power Four programs after earning top billing in the 2028 class, 247Sports said.
- On Saturday, five-star quarterback Christopher Vargas announced his commitment to Ohio State, choosing the Buckeyes over Oregon, Alabama, and Virginia Tech. The St. John's Prep standout is the top-rated quarterback in the 2028 class.
- Ohio State aggressively recruited Vargas since November 30, 2024, hosting him for multiple visits to Columbus. Vargas said, "I think Ohio State is the place that can develop me the best."
- The 6-5, 185-pound prospect completed 66.7% of his passes last fall, throwing for 2,038 yards and 24 touchdowns with two interceptions. Scouting reports highlight his "elite baseline accuracy on quick reads."
- Vargas joins a 2028 recruiting class that includes five-star wide receiver Jett Harrison, though he faces potential future competition from 2027 commit Brady Edmunds. The addition strengthens a program competing for national titles annually.
- Although Vargas cannot sign until December 2027, the commitment cements Ohio State's position with pledges from four of ESPN's top 100 prospects in the 2028 cycle, more than any other FBS program.
