Ohio State basketball will officially host 2025 five-star shooting guard Darryn Peterson

It will be a homecoming of sorts for West Virginia shooting guard, Darryn Peterson, when he makes his official visit to the Ohio State basketball program.

The 6-foot, 5-inch and 193-pound prospect, who is originally from Cuyahoga Falls, is set to take a trip to Columbus on August 1, as reported by 247Sports Dushawn London. Peterson is one of the best players in the country, ranking as the No. 3 overall prospect and top shooting guard nationally according to the 247Sports Composite Rankings.

This would be another massive recruiting win for now Buckeye head coach Jake Diebler, who has done a great job retooling the roster for this coming season and adding players for future years.

It will not be an easy to lure Peterson back to his home state, as Ohio State is battling Kansas, Baylor, Kentucky, Indiana and others for his commitment. At one point, he had narrowed down his list to eight schools, but has since reopened his recruitment to other programs.

The Buckeyes are still searching for their first 2025 verbal.
