Last season, 14 different Buckeyes on the offensive side of the ball scored touchdowns. That’s the most since that same number in 2013. Of those 14, 11 are back, and there are another dozen players looking for their first steps into the end zone this year as well. There are, of course, 100 yards separating end zones, and plenty…
Ohio State held its third practice of the fall on Sunday, although like the first two, it was still closed to the media. The team has a day off on Monday, and will be back at it Tuesday. The school has said that it will have an update sometime on Monday about when practices may reopen to reporters. However, the first game is now less than four weeks away, so there’s not much time for the team – and everyone else – to figure out the answers to a few big questions about this year’s Buckeyes…
When Ed Warinner was moved from offensive line coach to tight ends coach prior to the 2016 season, he said that as the offensive coordinator, this would be good news for the Ohio State tight ends. He was right, but not as emphatically as he would have hoped. The Buckeye tight ends went from 21 catches and zero touchdowns…
Coming into this season, I was a little worried how the Ohio State wide receiver room would shake out. I thought for sure Parris Campbell and Johnnie Dixon were gone to the NFL draft. Along with them, I would not have been shocked if K.J. Hill and Terry McLaurin left as well. You add these four guys to the loss of tight…
Any time a team signs a 5-star prospect, there are going to be expectations. When the Buckeyes signed 5-star New York tight end Jeremy Ruckert, those expectations were ramped up by Ohio State head coach Urban Meyer. “It’s not fair to the young people, but I think Jeremy Ruckert might be the best tight end prospect…
The Ohio State football team only had three scholarship tight ends on the roster this spring, so there isn’t exactly a lot to recap. There was news, however. Redshirt sophomore Luke Farrell emerged as the team’s top tight end, while redshirt junior Rashod Berry and redshirt sophomore Jake Hausmann competed…
Spring is a time of rebirth in nature and a time of tight end discussions in the Ohio State football universe. The Buckeyes must replace two-year starter Marcus Baugh this season, and in spring camp it was redshirt sophomore Luke Farrell who emerged as the front-runner to get it done. Ohio State offensive coordinator Kevin Wilson…
“The Wizard Of Menlo Park”, Thomas Edison was born in Milan, Ohio, and is considered to be America’s greatest inventor. For all of Edison’s achievements as an inventor, perhaps Edison’s greatest attribute was his refusal to give up. Edison’s perspective was that he never failed during his experiments, but that he had…
Ohio State loses two-year starter Marcus Baugh to graduation, which means they will now need to find a starter to replace him. There are there options this spring — fourth-year junior Rashod Berry, and redshirt sophomores Luke Farrell and Jake Hausmann. Blue-chip signee Jeremy Ruckert will then enter the picture when…
Marcus Baugh started for the last two years at tight end for Ohio State, catching 52 passes for 573 yards and seven touchdowns in that span. This past season, his 28 receptions were fourth on the team, as were his five touchdowns. He was just one of two Buckeyes with a reception in every game last season.
