Off-Script Ohio: Draft dominance, spring game takeaways, and roster momentum builds
Ohio State isn’t just moving into the offseason, it’s defining it.

Devin Sanchez’s ascent: Why Ohio State believes its next true lockdown corner is arriving right on schedule

Can the Buckeyes secondary be elite? Breaking down the hype vs reality
The first thing to understand about the Ohio State Buckeyes 2026 secondary is that the conversation is being framed against an almost unreasonable benchmark. Last season’s Buckeyes did not simply field a good pass defense, they fielded one of the best defenses in recent college football memory, finishing the year allowing just 9.3 points per […]

Even though head coach Ryan […]
Who will win Defensive Rookie of the Year? Breaking down Ohio State’s top candidates
Ohio State didn’t just send talent to the NFL in 2026, it sent multiple defenders with real, immediate impact potential.

You’re Nuts: How will Ohio State play differently next season without Bruce Thornton?

Column: The two games I’m most excited for in 2026
The Buckeyes’ 2026 schedule will make them much more battle-tested. It’s not going to be a cakewalk through the Big Ten, and the non-conference schedule doesn’t have any FCS layups. This year, the regular season is going to be more fun and more rewarding for Ohio State and its fans. There will be a lot […]
2027 Ohio State commit LJ Smith continues to climb recruiting rankings
Ohio State’s lone commit in the 2027 class, LJ Smith, is quickly ascending the recruiting rankings one year ahead of his expected arrival in Columbus.

At the time of his commitment, […]
Ohio State sends out a new offer in the 2028 class to a top QB in rival territory
In any recruiting cycle, adding the quarterback of your class is a top priority. More times than not, that player takes on the assumed role of the class leader. In Ohio State’s case, that’s been seen several times. Under Ryan Day, the quarterback position play has arguably never been better, and under his development that […]
Who is going to be Ohio State’s WR2 in 2026?
The emergence and ascension of a WR2 could make or break the entire 2026 season for the Buckeyes.

There is a lot of […]
