Ohio State returns all three starting linebackers from last season in Tuf Borland, Malik Harrison, and Pete Werner. In fact, they lost just two linebackers from last year’s team. The Buckeyes were two or three players deep this spring at each linebacker position, which gave new linebackers coach Al Washington plenty to watch throughout camp.
One of the reasons Urban Meyer always tried to bring in one quarterback in every recruiting class is because that position ends up transferring more than any other. To make matters worse, it is difficult to stockpile quarterback recruits by taking two in a class because they all know only one of them is going to play. Sure, there is going to…
The 2019 NFL Draft takes place this week, with the first round happening Thursday night, followed by the second and third rounds on Friday evening. The final four rounds of the draft will then finish up on Saturday. Each night, there will be Buckeyes expecting to hear their respective names called. At this point, only Nick Bosa and Dwayne Haskins…
The Buckeyes are one of those rare teams that lost a starting cornerback early to the NFL over the offseason, yet still return two cornerbacks who are also considered starters. Fifth-year senior Damon Arnette and junior Jeff Okudah are back, and bring with them three seasons of experience in OSU’s starting rotation. Three second-year corners…
One of the fun things to talk about with every new coach when they come to Ohio State is recruiting. Many of them come from schools that don’t quite carry the same weight as OSU in recruiting circles, so the answers they give are always enlightening. During his introductory press conference a year ago, new (and now former) safeties coach…
The Buckeyes just fired the latest shot in college football’s arms race. Take a look inside the plush new Ohio State football facilities.
As you know, a Buckeye generally won’t see the field on offense or defense unless he can provide for the team via special teams first. Sure, there are exceptions to the rule — like quarterbacks — but if a player wants to show that he belongs, he needs to show it on special teams first. During a typical practice, the first few periods…
Ohio State junior running back JK Dobbins had a down year (for him) last season as a sophomore, but returns this year more determined than ever to regain his dynamic freshman form. His running mate Mike Weber is now off to the NFL, so redshirt freshman Master Teague and true freshman Marcus Crowley spent the spring trying to fill that void.
Ohio State head coach Ryan Day is once again a victim of his own success, and while it may make things a little uncomfortable for a while, it’s better than having a head coach who is constantly a victim of his own failures. With redshirt freshman quarterback Matthew Baldwin announcing his intention to transfer from Ohio State, the OSU…
