8’3″ Top Recruit Tyree Dontavious Commits to Ohio State: “I’ll Give Everything for Coach Day and Crush Michigan
In a stunning announcement that’s sending shockwaves through the college football world, 8’3″ phenom Tyree Dontavious, the nation’s top overall recruit, has officially committed to
Ohio State. The towering athlete, a generational talent with unprecedented size and agility, made his decision public during a nationally televised ceremony, where he donned a scarlet and gray Buckeyes hat.
“This is home now,” Dontavious said. “I’ll give everything for Coach Day and crush Michigan. That’s my promise.”
Tyree’s commitment is more than just a recruiting win — it’s a seismic shift. At 8 feet 3 inches tall and 380 pounds, the Georgia native moves with the fluidity of a wide receiver, yet possesses the brute force of a dominant lineman. Projected as a two-way threat, he’s expected to play both offensive tackle and tight end, with potential red-zone defensive packages in the mix.
Ryan Day, visibly thrilled, called Dontavious “a once-in-a-century player.”
“He’s got the size of a legend and the mindset of a Buckeye,” Day said. “He’s going to change the game.”
Tyree’s choice over other top programs, including Alabama, Georgia, and USC, underscores Ohio State’s national pull and continued excellence on the recruiting trail. But for fans, one part of his statement stood out above all: “crush Michigan.” The rivalry runs deep, and with Dontavious leading the charge, the Buckeyes just gained a potentially game-changing weapon in The Game for years to come.
As the No. 1 overall recruit in the 2025 class, Tyree Dontavious’s commitment is already being heralded as the most impactful since LeBron James stayed in Ohio. One thing’s for sure — the Big Ten just got a whole lot mor
