Quarterback RJ Day, Son of Ohio State Coach Ryan Day, Commits to Northwestern in 2027

The 6-foot-1, 205-pound passer chose the Wildcats over several other offers and becomes David Braun’s fifth commitment in the 2027 class.

  • On Sunday, class of 2027 quarterback R.J. Day announced his commitment to Northwestern University, choosing the Wildcats from St. Francis DeSales High School in Columbus.
  • Northwestern offensive coordinator Chip Kelly, who coached Ohio State Head Coach Ryan Day at New Hampshire, created the mentorship connection that drew the younger Day to Evanston.
  • Entering his senior season, the St. Francis DeSales signal-caller holds 5,714 career passing yards and 54 touchdowns while fielding 18 college scholarship offers.
  • By selecting the Wildcats over Purdue and South Florida, Day avoided Ohio State's crowded quarterback room, where the Buckeyes secured a commitment from Brady Edmunds.
  • His commitment positions him as a future Big Ten Conference rival to his father, with the quarterback determined to build his own path independent of Ohio State.
