Overview
- Christopher Vargas told Rivals he will play for Ohio State beginning in 2028 after choosing the Buckeyes over Oregon, Alabama and Virginia Tech, a decision announced Saturday.
- Major recruiting services list Vargas as a five-star and the top quarterback in the 2028 cycle, with composite rankings placing him among the top 10 overall prospects.
- Vargas has two high-school seasons left and made multiple visits to Ohio State after the program began recruiting him in 2024, which he says helped build strong ties with the staff.
- His commitment adds a headline prospect to a class that already includes five-star receiver Jett Harrison and keeps Ohio State among the top-rated 2028 recruiting classes while creating potential quarterback competition on the future roster.
- Scouts describe Vargas as a 6-foot-4 pocket passer built on precision and elite accuracy on quick reads, and his performance over the next two high-school seasons will determine how quickly he factors into Ohio State's long-term depth chart.
