Early Signing Period: Four-Star Running Back Bo Jackson Signs With Ohio State
Get to know Cleveland Villa Angela-St. Joseph four-star running back Bo Jackson, who signed with Ohio State on Wednesday.
Height, Weight: 6-0, 205
247Sports Composite Rankings: Jackson is the No. 122 overall prospect in the country, the No. 6 running back and is the sixth-ranked player in the state of Ohio.
Commitment Date: Jackson committed to Ohio State on June 4, 2024.
Other Offers: Alabama, Auburn, Cincinnati, Florida, Indiana, Georgia, Maryland, Miami (Fla.), Michigan, Michigan State, Minnesota, Notre Dame, Ole Miss, Oregon, Penn State, Pittsburgh, Purdue, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas A&M, Wisconsin.
How He Did In High School: Jackson was having a phenomenal senior year before he suffered a season-ending injury, running for 588 yards and 10 touchdowns in just over three games of action. He finished his junior season with nearly 1,700 rushing yards and 30 total touchdowns, almost 10 yards per carry.
Where He Fits For 2025: With both TreVeyon Henderson and Quinshon Judkins likely leaving to the NFL, the running back position is going to be wide open. James Peoples has looked good in his limited time this year, so he will likely take over the No. 1 spot, but Jackson has a chance to earn time since the role won’t be just one person shouldering the entire load.
