Ohio State is likely to add a running back in the transfer portal
Ohio State’s offense has found a foundation in true freshman Bo Jackson, whose breakout season has validated the Buckeyes’ long term belief in his talent. Jackson’s vision, burst, and ability to shoulder volume, even as a true freshman, have made him one of the most promising young backs in the country, and he will enter […]

Big time WR target reclassifies to 2027 class, top tight end looking to commit this winter
It not that often that high school players reclassify, but when it does present itself it’s usually for some of the top talent the prep ranks has to offer.

Who will be calling plays for Ohio State in the CFP, and why the Buckeyes should be more aggressive
Brian Hartline’s hiring as South Florida’s head coach closed one chapter while simultaneously complicating another for Ohio State, but it does not disrupt the Buckeyes’ championship push.

Ohio State offensive line season in review: Growth, stability, and a unit peaking at the right time
Ohio State’s offensive line entered the 2025 season with questions, reshuffled roles, and several players stepping into unfamiliar responsibilities.
