Columbus, Ohio – Four-star quarterback Luke Fahey has officially committed to the Ohio State Buckeyes for the 2026 recruiting class, marking a significant achievement for the program as they secure their future signal-caller. Fahey’s decision to join Ohio State concludes a rigorous search for a quarterback to lead the team in the coming years.

The 6-foot, 185-pound quarterback hails from Mission Viejo, California, and made the decision to commit to Ohio State following his official visit to the campus on June 20. His impressive performance during the visit played a crucial role in his choice of the Buckeyes over other prominent programs such as Indiana and Stanford.
In the past season, Fahey excelled in his role as the starting quarterback, throwing for a total of 1,638 yards and achieving 17 touchdowns without any interceptions. He completed 105 out of 137 passes, resulting in a remarkable 76.64% completion percentage. His skills were further showcased when he led Mission Viejo to victory in a passing tournament championship in California.
Fahey’s commitment also enhances Ohio State’s already strong recruitment efforts for the 2026 class. The Buckeyes have secured other notable talents, including five-star recruit Chris Henry Jr. and four-star Kayden Dixon-Wyatt, both from Mater Dei in California. With Fahey on board, Ohio State’s 2026 recruiting class now boasts a total of 20 commitments and is currently ranked No. 5 in the 247Sports Composite rankings.
This recruitment marks a pivotal moment for the Buckeyes, who have previously benefited from top talent hailing from California, including former five-star recruit Julian Sayin and 2021 Heisman Trophy finalist C.J. Stroud. Fahey’s addition to the roster signifies the program’s ongoing commitment to attracting elite players who can contribute to its storied legacy.
As Ohio State aims for continued success on the gridiron, Fahey’s commitment lays a solid foundation for the future of the program as they prepare for upcoming seasons and competition in the NCAA.
