John Clark has reportedly trimmed his list of schools to six, which includes the Ohio State Buckeyes. He stands at 6’9″ and is a power forward in the 2025 recruiting class
The Ohio State Buckeyes have recently enjoyed some success in remaining on the lists of schools being considered by many top prospects. The latest recruit to narrow his list and include the Buckeyes is 2025 power forward John Clark.
Joe Tipton of On3 reported that Clark has reduced his list to six schools. The 6’9″ forward is still considering the Houston Cougars, Texas A&M Aggies, Oklahoma Sooners, Kansas Jayhawks, Texas Longhorns, and Ohio State Buckeyes.

According to Tipton, Clark has lined up three official visits for September, planning to visit Texas A&M, Houston, and Texas. Visits to Ohio State, Oklahoma, and Kansas still need to be arranged.
The Buckeyes are relatively new to Clark’s recruitment, having offered him earlier in July, but he seems pleased with their engagement so far.
“They’re new to my recruitment, but I like the relationship I have with Coach (Jamall) Walker,” Clark shared with On3. “He communicates with me frequently, and I think my skills align well with how they utilize their big men. They appreciate my versatility, aggressiveness, and rebounding ability.”
Clark excels at rebounding, averaging 13.1 rebounds per game last season, along with 17.8 points. He completed his junior year at Klein Cain High School in Houston, Texas, and is transferring to Link Academy in Missouri for his senior season. At Link, he will play alongside two other Ohio State prospects, guard Davion Hannah and fellow big man A’mare Bynum.
Currently, Clark is rated as the No. 14 power forward by On3, just ahead of Bynum, while 247 Sports classifies him as a center, ranking him at No. 6.

Although the Buckeyes joined Clark’s recruitment a bit late, their efforts appear to be yielding positive results. Jake Diebler and his team will have several opportunities to secure at least one player from the 2024-25 roster at Link Academy.
