All Brian Hartline does is get wide, five-star receivers to stick with for his alma mater, Ohio State University.
With a wide five-star receiver Carnell Tate Committed to Ohio State, Buckeyes wide reception coach Brian Hartline is this 100 percent man.
IMG Academy Producer Via Chicago committed to the Buckeyes on Monday afternoon. According to 247Sports Composite, Tate was the No. 3 receiver at wide in the country, the No. 7 player “from Florida” and the No. 28 player overall at the national level. He had 37 official bids, but chose the Buckeyes over the Tennessee Volunteers, LSU Tigers and Notre Dame Fighting Irish.

And if you have no idea how much control Hartline is on recruiting trails, check out this delicious block of RJ Young from FOX Sports that was shared with the world on Twitter.
“Since the 2019 recruitment cycle, Ohio State reception coach, Brian Hartline, has secured commitments from five five-star recipients: Garrett Wilson, Jackson Smith-Negigba, Julian Fleming, Emeka Igboka and now Karnell Tate,” Young wrote.
Brian Hartline gets another five-star receiver for Ohio State commitment
Ohio State may have lost Chris Olaf and Garrett Wilson from last year’s team to the 2022 NFL Draft, as well as third-placed Jameson Williams to Alabama by the transfer gate. However, Hartline’s track record of recruiting and cultivating future talent has set him apart from anyone else in the game. Tate is the fifth star to reach so far.
As Tate plays his first season at IMG, it will be up to Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Julian Fleming, Emeka Egbuka and Marvin Harrison Jr. It should be noted that the Buckeyes could have the #1 overall pick in next year’s NFL Draft, smashing pigskin in the Heisman Trophy CJ Stroud under the team position.
Ultimately, Hartline is a big reason why the Buckeyes are one of the only teams that can consistently compete for the College Football Playoff sidewalks north of the Mason-Dixon Line. Ohio State is one of the few undergraduate programs that can recruit at the SEC level outside of the SEC. While Tate plays his last year at high school ball, he might join a new team from a national championship.
It’s a question of when Ohio State will be the college football national champions again.
