Nick Bosa was a Freshman All-American last season for the Buckeyes. He finished second on the team with 5.0 sacks and sixth with 7.0 tackles for loss. On a team with three returning contributors at defensive end in 2016, Bosa forced defensive line coach Larry Johnson to find room for a fourth. He played 332 snaps…
The No. 10 player on this list is a projection because he has yet to play a single college down. That being said, he has as much potential as any player Urban Meyer has ever brought to Ohio State. Trevon Grimes has not taken part in an Ohio State practice yet, but that doesn’t mean he isn’t working in preparation to contribute…
Blake Haubeil was one of the top high school placekickers in the nation in 2015 and 2016. Now he’s a freshman at Ohio State competing with redshirt junior Sean Neurnberger for a starting spot. As a fan, any time you have a freshman competing to be a starter, you might want to take notice. You also might want to get a little…
For a sportswriter, summer is a time for trying to come up with stuff to write without having to actually work too hard to get it done. This means that you can expect me to have a Mailbag in the next week or so, as that is always easy content. Sometimes, however, the Mailbag comes to me. “If Urban loses two in a row…
Jeremy Ruckert has had quite the past few days out at The Opening in Beaverton, Oregon. Not only has he proven to many that he is the best tight end in the nation, but there is even talk that he might be the best player in the nation. A 4-star prospect, there is a good possibility that Ruckert did enough to earn…
Every year, Urban Meyer goes through his roster and ranks his playmakers on offense. He writes down the players who need to get the football, and then sets out to make sure the offense follows through on his wishes. Every year, I do the same thing, but with a little less impact. Last year’s rankings had Curtis Samuel…
It sounds unbelievable, but the Ohio State Buckeyes could have six defensive linemen selected in the 2018 NFL Draft. The current record is five, and it probably won’t surprise you to find out that it was set by Miami in 2003. That’s right, the Hurricanes team that Ohio State beat for the 2002 National Title sent five…
Four-star wide receiver Elijah Moore released his Top 3 on Sunday while out at The Opening. The Buckeyes made the cut, as did Ole Miss and Miami. The Opening is always an interesting time for Ohio State recruiting, and that continues this year as well. Moore (5-11 168) was named one of Scout’s 10 most impressive…
How far Ohio State football goes in 2017 will depend in large part on how well the best players on their schedule play when facing off against the Buckeyes. With a schedule that features 10 Power 5 opponents, there are plenty of good players to worry about. Oklahoma, Penn State, and Michigan could all end up in the…
Because of his size and versatility, Leonard Taylor (6-6 261) may not yet have a definite home on the football field. He is, however, beginning to narrow down exactly which university will house that field. The 4-star tight end/defensive tackle from Springfield, Ohio released his Top 10 via Twitter on Saturday.
