Every season brings new breakout stars in college football, which is one of the reasons we all love it so much. And while the stars get the attention, every team needs different players to step up and fill voids. They aren’t necessarily looking at these players to become stars, they just need them to be reliable and productive.
Born and raised in Upper Arlington, “The Golden Bear” is a proud alumnus of The Ohio State University. Arguably the greatest golfer in history, Nicklaus won 18 career major golf championships. It is with Jack Nicklaus’ quote in mind that I direct my focus upon the last position group to review during spring football…
Ohio State kicked off spring practice on Tuesday and the Buckeyes were without a handful of key players due to injury, including four players who started last season. Save for freshman quarterback Matthew Baldwin, none of the injuries are expected to impact the 2018 season. Baldwin’s injury came at the end of his…
Ohio State will only be replacing two starters on the offensive line from last season, but it will still be a starting group of five that could look much different than it did to open the season in 2017. Left tackle Jamarco Jones is gone, as is Rimington Trophy-winning center Billy Price. The Buckeyes return a dozen linemen from…

A proud son of Ohio, hailing from Point Pleasant, former Civil War general and the 18th President of the United States, Ulysses S. Grant would be a strong advocate for as much advanced scouting of the enemy as possible before a battle was engaged. While I have the utmost confidence in Urban Meyer and his strong staff of assistants…
The Ohio State Buckeyes spent nearly the entire off-season working on improving the passing game in order to enhance the offense. Drag routes, shallow crossing routes, and RPO’s (Run Pass Options) were installed to create passing lanes and get the ball into the playmakers’ hands. Thursday night, the Buckeyes took their new…
Over the last couple of days, parents of Ohio State players have been taking to Twitter to congratulate their sons for being named starters. One of the few position battles still raging has been at right guard, and Saturday afternoon, Branden Bowen’s mother Natalie tweeted the news that that competition was now over.
One month ago, the competition at right guard for the Ohio State Buckeyes stood at seven names. Redshirt juniors Malcolm Pridgeon and Demetrius Knox, redshirt sophomores Matt Burrell and Branden Bowen, and true freshmen Wyatt Davis, Thayer Munford, and Josh Myers were the seven candidates that the Buckeyes opened…
