The Buckeyes continue to hold the top spot on the SI All-American national rankings for the incoming class.
SI All-American, the "recruiting arm" of Sports Illustrated, debuted its SI99 back in August - ranking the top 99 football players in the country. Now in its third consecutive monthly installment since debuting in September, SIAA has issued a team recruiting rankings list to showcase which schools are doing the best job accumulating talent across the country.
For the third consecutive month, SIAA says the Ohio State Buckeye have the best incoming recruiting Class of 2021 in the nation.
