Will Howard got to live the dream of every college prospect last April when he heard his name called by the Pittsburgh Steelers in the 2025 NFL Draft. What likely wasn’t in his dream, though, was making less money than he did in college. In a recent piece for The Athletic, Howard told David Ubben […]
Ohio State’s late-season surge gave a glimpse of what the program can be when things click. The guards found rhythm, Amare Bynum emerged as a legitimate frontcourt piece, and the offense found balance. But even at its best, one issue never fully disappeared. Interior consistency. That is where next season’s roster looks different. Not because […]

Ohio State’s tight end room was supposed to be about experience. The Buckeyes attacked the transfer portal, added proven veterans, and rebuilt the position with clear roles in mind after losing their entire core.

WrestleMania 42 takes places this weekend in Las Vegas. While I contend that Ohio Stadium should host WrestleMania at some point, I’m not holding my breath waiting for it to happen. Just the thought of the biggest wrestling event of the year taking place in one of the most iconic stadiums in the country brings […]
At Ohio State, losing your black stripe is more than a symbolic moment. It is a signal. It means a freshman has earned trust. It means the staff believes he can handle the standard, the speed, and the expectations of the program. And more often than not, it is an early indicator of who is […]
Devin Royal has officially committed to Villanova. After much speculation, the Ohio State transfer lands with the Wildcats.

Columbus, Ohio State guard Mathieu Grujicic has opted to enter the transfer portal and continue his collegiate career elsewhere, according to The Columbus Dispatch’s Adam Jardy.

It’s not easy for a freshman to make an impact right from the jump at a place like Ohio State. The pipeline of talent into Columbus is made up of four- and five-star players from all over the country, so when a new one arrives, there are usually anywhere from one to three major talents […]
We are now less than a week away from Ohio State’s annual Spring Game. The annual mark of the conclusion of the spring practice period, Saturday’s scrimmage will be the first chance to see this new group of Buckeyes in live action.

Ohio State did not just rebuild its tight end room this offseason. It redefined it. After losing its entire core at the position, the Buckeyes made a deliberate decision to split responsibilities rather than search for a one-for-one replacement. That approach brought in two very different transfer tight ends: Northwestern veteran Hunter Welcing and Ohio […]
Throughout their history, Ohio State has been known for having a stout offensive line, but as last season unfolded, it became clear that the Buckeyes’ offensive line wasn’t as dominant as it had been in recent seasons. They couldn’t impose their will in the running game as they had on their national championship teams. Big […]

Ohio State quarterback Julian Sayin did well to avoid taking hits in his first season as a starter, primarily using his quick release to beat opposing pass rushes. He officially recorded 42 rushing attempts on the season, but that includes sacks. With Ryan Day’s comments that Sayin needs to make more plays with his legs, […]
Ohio State All-American safety Caleb Downs is widely regarded as a top three overall talent regardless of position in the 2026 NFL draft. Despite this, his draft projections have been all over the place for a few different reasons. First, Downs does not play a premium position. Not a lot of safeties see second contracts […]
Ohio State’s black stripe tradition is simple in concept but meaningful in reality. You arrive with it, and you earn the right to lose it. When it comes off, it signals something more than just progress. It signals trust. That is why Qua Russaw shedding his black stripe this spring matters. Not just because it […]

Carnell Tate, WR, Ohio State The Washington Commanders’ defense is getting old across the board; they need help at cornerback, edge rusher, and defensive tackle. But I think the best defensive line prospects will go off the board from No. 2 through No. 6. I also think Jeremiyah Love, who I initially liked for them, […]
