Four-star pass rusher Zion Grady has officially committed to play for the Ohio State Buckeyes, adding to their impressive recruiting haul for the class of 2025. Originally, many had projected Grady to commit to the Georgia Bulldogs, but he ultimately chose Ohio State.
Grady’s commitment has boosted Ohio State’s already impressive No. 1 recruiting class, as they now have commitments from 19 top prospects. The Buckeyes are closely followed by Alabama, who boasts the nation’s No. 2 recruiting class, and Georgia, who sits at No. 5 in the rankings.
Standing at 6-foot-4 and weighing 235 pounds, Grady is a standout on the high school football field at Enterprise High School in Alabama. He previously played for Charles Henderson High School in Troy. Grady is ranked as the No. 66 player in the 2025 recruiting cycle and is considered the sixth-best player in the state of Alabama as well as the sixth-ranked edge rusher in the country.
Known for his explosiveness and ability to bend around offensive linemen, Grady has been a standout on the field for Charles Henderson High School over two consecutive seasons. He helped lead them to a state championship game appearance last year and put up impressive numbers with tallying 11 sacks and 87 tackles alone last season alone! In addition to football, Grady also excels on the basketball court too!
Looking ahead, Georgia football will shift its focus to recruiting five-star edge rusher Isaiah Gibson and four-star edge rusher Julius Holly following Grady’s commitment. With his talent and skills, it’s sure that Grady will make a significant impact at collegiate level and beyond!
