In a stunning turn of events, five-star defensive back DJ Pickett has officially decommitted from LSU and announced his commitment to Ohio State. The highly coveted prospect out of Florida took to social media with the statement, “OHIO is my home now,” sending shockwaves through the college football world.
Pickett, ranked among the top defensive backs in the 2025 recruiting class, had been committed to LSU for months and was expected to be a cornerstone of the Tigers’ future defense. However, after an extensive evaluation process, he opted to join Ryan Day and the Buckeyes, adding another elite talent to Ohio State’s already loaded recruiting class.
Ohio State’s secondary has been a major point of emphasis for the coaching staff, and Pickett’s commitment is a massive win for defensive backs coach Tim Walton. The Buckeyes have been relentless in their pursuit of top-tier defensive talent, and landing Pickett further solidifies their reputation as one of the premier destinations for elite defensive backs.
For LSU, this marks a significant recruiting loss, as Pickett was one of the crown jewels of their class. Brian Kelly and his staff will now have to scramble to fill the void left by his departure.
With Pickett now in the fold, Ohio State’s 2025 recruiting class gets even stronger, continuing their push for a national championship-caliber roster. Buckeye fans have every reason to celebrate as they welcome one of the nation’s best defensive prospects to
Columbus.
