The Early-Signing Period is here and Ohio State is set to once again bring in one of the country’s best recruiting classes. Lettermen Row is tracking the Buckeyes recruiting news throughout the signing period as 2026 commitments officially join the Ohio State football program. The latest Letter of Intent is in: Khmari Bing has signed with the Buckeyes.
COLUMBUS — Ohio State puts an emphasis on senior season evaluations and this signee is a prime example of that. Three-star safety Khmari Bing has signed his Letter of Intent to Ohio State and is officially a Buckeye.
What does it mean for the Buckeyes? Let’s check it out.
Who is Khmari Bing?
Khmari Bing is a three-star safety from Baltimore, Maryland. He attended St. Frances Academy High School. The Buckeyes flipped Bing from Maryland in October following his official visit for the Minnesota game. Alabama and Indiana also tried to get Bing on campus this fall but he committed to Ohio State before visiting either.
Rivals Industry Rankings: No. 438 overall, No. 40 safety, No. 12 in Maryland
Rivals Ranking: No. 103 safety and No. 20 in Maryland
Height: 6-foot
Weight: 190 pounds
Hometown: Baltimore, Maryland
High School: St. Frances Academy
Scouting Report: “Early in the initial-interest phase of his Ohio State recruitment, Matt Guerrieri told Khmari Bing that the Buckeyes young coach believed he was one of the country’s best free safeties in high school football. So, again, ignore the rankings here. Ohio State, Alabama, Miami, Tennessee, Michigan and a host of other prominent programs were on the prowl. That list of suitors should be enough to eliminate any concerns about Bing’s potential.” – Lettermen Row Recruiting Analyst Jeremy Birmingham.
