COLUMBUS — Ohio State football’s seventh annual job fair took place at the Huntington Club at Ohio Stadium on Friday night. It has been a successful opportunity for members of the football team — as well as other student-athletes — to look into professional opportunities after sports. The job fair featured representatives from over…
Ohio State recruits linebackers as well as any school in the country. Last season, they had five linebackers who had all been ranked as 5-star prospects in high school — and none of them won starting jobs. Despite the lofty rankings throughout the room, the Buckeye linebackers didn’t play up to their expectations.
Next weekend will be the biggest weekend of the early official visit calendar, but this week is no slouch for the Buckeyes as they are hosting upwards of 10 blue chippers on official visits in the next couple of days. Ohio State is currently sitting at 11 commitments in the 2020 recruiting class, with at least that many more to come over the next eight…
“We’re a press-man team.” Those words have been spoken by Ohio State defensive coaches since 2014 when Urban Meyer hired Chris Ash to fix his defense. Having been broken again, it was Ryan Day’s turn to bring in a new defensive staff to fix the Buckeyes. Day went out and hired Jeff Hafley and Matt Barnes to handle the secondary and added…
Last year at this time, Ohio State’s quarterback room had thrown a total of 57 career passes. They all belonged to Dwayne Haskins, who had never started a game. There were some question marks, but plenty of confidence, and he ended up being okay. The Buckeyes’ quarterback room is again full of inexperience and question marks, but this…
The Ohio State football team has gone through a number of changes from January until now. A new head coach. New defensive staff. New quarterback room. But perhaps no single Buckeye has gone through more changes than junior Brendon White. After spending a second or two at linebacker prior to his freshman season, and then a stint at wide…
January 8, 2015 | A few days after Ohio State pummeled Alabama in the first round of the College Football Playoffs in 2014, the Buckeyes met up with reporters back in Columbus. One of the players who spoke with the media was senior receiver Evan Spencer, who put on a performance for the ages against the Crimson Tide. For a game where…
COLUMBUS — Ohio State head coach Ryan Day headlined the Columbus Sports Commission’s 16th annual Morning Sports Report on Tuesday, along with Columbus Crew SC Head Coach Caleb Porter. The event was moderated by former Buckeye linebacker James Laurinaitis, who asked Day about his transition to a head coaching job, his new staff…
Cornerback can be a thankless position. When they make a good play, they’re just doing something they’re supposed to be doing. When they give up a big play or get a flag thrown on them, however, there is no brighter spotlight in football. And that spotlight can burn an indelible mark on some players. As a redshirt sophomore starting…
You better start swimming or you’ll sink like a stone, for the times they are a-changin’. Little did Bob Dylan know way back then that he would be singing about college football and the transfer portal and how coaches better adapt or die. Recruiting is the lifeblood of programs like Ohio State, but that recruiting has now been put to the test…
