Four-star 2025 RB Bo Jackson Says He Talks “Every Other Day” with Ohio State Running Backs Coach Carlos Locklyn and is Intrigued by Chip Kelly's Offense

With Marquise Davis officially off the board and headed to Kentucky (and not Michigan), the top of Ohio State’s running back priority list for 2025 is abundantly clear.

While the Buckeyes could take up to three tailbacks this cycle, two running backs stand out above the rest at the top of their wish list: Four-star California prospect Jordon Davison and four-star Ohio standout Bo Jackson.

Both Davison and Jackson are top-100 prospects in the 2025 class per 247Sports’ composite rankings. Both visited Columbus at the end of March for a spring practice. The pair of highly-touted recruits briefly caught up during their visit, and Jackson told Eleven Warriors he enjoyed conversing with the Mater Dei product.
