- Timmons announced the switch on Thursday, departing a June pledge to Florida State despite being the son of former Seminoles All-American Lawrence Timmons.
- Rivals ranks him the No. 2 cornerback and No. 29 overall prospect in 2026, with scouting touting his instincts, physicality and versatility in the secondary.
- He visited Columbus for the Buckeyes’ 38-14 win over Penn State and said, “I want to compete with the best,” adding that the defense and energy stood out.
- Secondary coach Tim Walton was identified as the primary recruiter, and Timmons highlighted the program’s loyalty-filled environment, saying, “People don’t stop saying O-H-I-O.”
- The commitment lifts Ohio State one spot to No. 8 in the Rivals Industry Team Recruiting Rankings and further bolsters an already robust defensive-back class ahead of the Dec. 3 early signing period.
