Other Offers: Boston College, Cincinnati, Duke, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan State, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Texas A&M, Wisconsin.
How he did in high school: Haddad played with great instincts and with physicality during his time with St. Ignatius, showing showed off plenty of positional versatility but was signing as a safety with Ohio State.
Where he fits into 2025: Haddad is unlikely to see substantial playing time in his freshman season with the Buckeyes. For one, sophomore safety Caleb Downs will certainly take up at least one of the starting safety positions, and a younger player like freshman safety Jaylen McClain has shown great potential in his first year with the Buckeyes. Haddad is likely going to have to be a difference-maker on the special teams unit if he wants to get on the field for plenty of snaps during his freshman season.
