Ohio State is one of the biggest brands in college football; from time to time, it loses some significant players. The Buckeyes saw this happen on Saturday afternoon.
Ohio State Loses Out On A Top Linebacker
According to Hayes Fawcett from on3.com, “Four Star linebacker Anthony Sacca has committed to Notre Dame. Sacca chose the Fighting Irish over Alabama and Ohio State.

Sacca will not be playing for the Buckeyes, but he will be playing for a former Buckeye great, Marcus Freeman, who is entering his third season as Notre Dame’s head coach.
Notre Dame Got A Great Football Player
Per 247sports.com, Sacca is the 27th-ranked linebacker in the 2025 class and the 231st-ranked player in the country overall.
Notre Dame is getting Sacca over schools like Alabama and Ohio State, which is huge for their program. Usually, players pick Alabama or Ohio State and don’t even think about going to Notre Dame, but it was different this time.
Freeman is building something big at Notre Dame, and it is going to take a while since he is only in his third season, but Freeman is showing all the signs he can turn Notre Dame into a top program, and he will be stealing players from the Buckeyes for many years to come.
