Scotty Middleton committed to Ohio State on Sunday, becoming the first five-star recruit in the Chris Holtmann era.
Middleton picked the Buckeyes over Seton Hall and UConn.
Middleton is currently ranked No. 18 in the ESPN 100 for the 2023 class.
The small forward is the highest recruit for Ohio State since D'Angelo Russell in 2014.
"Scotty is one of the most competitive players I've coached," said his high school coach Luke Barnwell. "He has a high basketball IQ and is an elite on-ball defender. He has worked to become an efficient shooter and scorer."
