Under Brian Hartline, Ohio State’s football program is known for being selective in offering scholarships to wide receivers, making their pursuit of 2026 standout Brayden Robinson noteworthy.
Following the Buckeyes’ College Football Playoff National Championship win, Hartline—who is expected to soon officially take over as offensive coordinator—has shifted focus to recruiting, targeting the four-star prospect from Red Oak, Texas.
Despite his smaller frame (5-foot-8, 160 pounds), Robinson’s electrifying playmaking ability has drawn attention from top programs nationwide.
Coming off a dominant junior year with 79 receptions, 1,119 yards, 15 touchdowns, and contributions as a return specialist, he has scheduled key June visits: Miami (June 6-8), Ohio State (June 13-15), and Notre Dame (June 20-22).
Ranked No. 205 overall and No. 34 among receivers in the 2026 class by 247Sports, Robinson also holds the No. 32 spot in talent-rich Texas.
The 247Sports Composite lists him at No. 211 nationally. His offer list includes powerhouse programs like Notre Dame, Ohio State, Texas, Oregon, LSU, Michigan, Tennessee, Auburn, and others, underscoring his high demand despite his size.
