Ranked as a five-star recruit by On3, Jermaine Mathews signed with Ohio State in the Class of 2023 after also taking an official visit to Cincinnati and being offered by numerous national programs.

He finished his 2022 season with 51 total tackles, four forced fumbles, four fumble recoveries and six interceptions. He returned three of his six interceptions for touchdowns. Mathews’ mother is Bianca Adkins.
