Initially rated as a three-star prospect and ranked No. 333 nationally at the time of his commitment, St. Clair’s dedication and performance have led to a remarkable ascent in the rankings. By October 2024, he had climbed to No. 12 overall, positioned as the No. 2 quarterback nationally, and recognized as the top player in Ohio.
St. Clair’s junior season statistics underscore his development and on-field prowess. He completed 70% of his passes for 1,977 yards, throwing 23 touchdowns against just four interceptions. Additionally, he averaged approximately 30 rushing yards per game and scored four rushing touchdowns, highlighting his dual-threat capabilities.
His commitment bolsters an Ohio State 2025 recruiting class that is already highly regarded. As of December 2024, the Buckeyes’ class was ranked fifth nationally, featuring 26 signees, including five-star cornerback Devin Sanchez.
St. Clair’s rapid rise and commitment reflect both his personal dedication and Ohio State’s emphasis on developing top-tier quarterback talent. His trajectory suggests he could be a pivotal figure for the Buckeyes in the coming years.
