Latest news and updates about the Ohio State
With the official signing of Legend Bey this past Monday, Ohio State finally added their last member of the 2026 class, totaling 28 players overall.

Now that we know Ohio State will face Miami in the Cotton Bowl on New Year’s Eve, it’s time to look across the field to see which Hurricanes the Buckeyes will need to keep under wraps if Ryan Day’s team is going to advance to the semifinals in the College Football Playoff. Miami squeaked past […]
Throughout this season, Ryan Day and Ohio State have beaten almost every opponent they faced in the regular season into submission, with systematic domination on both sides of the ball.

In 2025, after moving to Ohio State, […]
