Ohio State remains unbeaten two months into its quest for a national championship repeat, and head coach Urban Meyer is constantly putting in work for future Buckeyes campaigns.
The program has put together an impressive stockpile of prospects through recent recruiting efforts, currently claiming top-rated classes in 2016 and 2017 composite rankings. These star-studded groups provide plenty of promise for sustained success at Ohio State in the coming years.
Buckeyes commits across the country stepped up in support of their high school squads this weekend. These standout performances featured a pair of elite athletes expected to eventually make a major impact on the Ohio State passing attack.
Indiana wide receiver Austin Mack and Cincinnati tight end Jake Hausmann both delivered dominant efforts.
Mack, a 6'2", 205-pound prospect, has been a dynamic force as a rusher and receiver throughout his career at Bishop Luers High School, which moved closer to a state title with a 40-7 victory over Yorktown High School.
His versatility shined against Yorktown, as Mack collected 226 total offensive yards, per MaxPreps. The 4-star recruit, rated 12th nationally among wide receivers in composite rankings, racked up 161 rushing yards on just nine carries and added 65 yards through the air on two catches.
Mack accounted for three touchdowns and also impressed on defense. He finished with a pair of interceptions, giving him four picks this fall.
His senior season has been explosive throughout. Mack now has 765 receiving yards, 690 rushing yards and 24 total touchdowns.
"I'm an all-around wide receiver who commits to the little things," he told Bleacher Report in May. "I'm smart enough to memorize playbooks quickly and execute my assignments, whether I'm blocking downfield or running crisp routes. For a high school player, I'm polished."
Hausmann, who attends Archbishop Moeller High School, also enjoyed an outstanding game this weekend. He hauled in three touchdown passes during a 50-10 win over Canada Prep, according to the Cincinnati Enquirer.
The 6'5", 235-pound playmaker caught scoring strikes from 12, 16 and 34 yards out. Hausmann tallied 163 receiving yards, further validating his status as the nation's No. 3 tight end prospect in composite rankings.
North Carolina running back Antonio Williams, who flipped his commitment from Wisconsin in October, played a pivotal role in North Stanly High School's 33-8 victory over Albemarle High School.
He plowed through opponents en route to 111 rushing yards and two touchdowns, according to Charles Curico of the Stanly News and Press. The 5'11", 210-pound senior continues to match expectations created by his rating as seventh-best running back in 2016 composite rankings.
Fellow Buckeyes commit Todd Sibley is Ohio State's primary rusher in the 2017 recruiting cycle. He also excelled this weekend, accumulating 158 rushing yards and two scores for Archbishop Hoban High School of Akron, Ohio.
Sibley and Williams could quickly become key components of the Buckeyes backfield when they arrive in Columbus. Both are well over 1,000 rushing yards this season, offering increased potential for a positional group slated to add fellow 4-stars Demario McCall and Kareem Walker next national signing day.
Though he'll play quarterback at Ohio State, Texas standout Tristen Wallace was on the attack as a runner this weekend. The Desoto High School star gained 193 yards and two touchdowns on just 17 carries in a 38-22 win over Midlothian High School, according to Brian Perroni of 247Sports.
