The Ohio State football team is just two weeks away from the start of the regular season. But when the Buckeyes kick off against Oregon State on September 1, several members of the team may miss the game due to injuries. Acting head coach Ryan Day provided a position-by-position breakdown of the team, including a look at who had been hampered by injuries…
As everyone knows, Ohio State does not redshirt players. (Except for when they do, of course.) Despite that steadfast rule, players still end up redshirting somehow, and they will also redshirt this year as well. No year is the same when it comes to how many freshmen redshirt. The intention is always to get as much out…
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…
We are now just Dre’Mont Jones number of days away from the end of Big Ten Football Media Days. Or, for you older folks, we are now Dimitrious Stanley number of days away. In 83 days, we will once again be Dimitrious Stanley days away because Stanley wore two different jersey numbers while a Buckeye. Tomorrow…
Why did I rank the wide receivers as an area of low concern? Look at the group of players returning. They are bundant with redshirt seniors and juniors. The wide receivers come into 2018 with experience across the board. Looking at Ohio State’s 2017 season statistics, the only player with at least 10 receptions who will…
Today is the final day for college football’s underclassmen to declare for the NFL, and as long as nothing changes, the same group of Buckeye receivers who practiced during bowl prep will also be practicing during spring camp. In other words, the entire band is back together and they’re currently in the studio working on a new album for this fall.
Here is the thing about trying to point out five “Instant Impact” signees from Ohio State’s 2018 recruiting class — there is talented depth in front of each of them, and I think most of them could benefit greatly from a redshirt season. So we should probably dial back what we mean by “instant impact.” For this class — which is arguably…
St. Louis wide receiver Kamryn Babb committed to Ohio State on Tuesday, and when he did he finally gave the Buckeyes another outside receiving threat to join 6-foot-6 L’Christian “Blue” Smith. Babb has been OSU’s top receiver target during the 2018 recruiting cycle, so even though this was an expected commitment, it shouldn’t…
Ohio State’s 2018 recruiting class has been in need of at least one more wide receiver, and the Buckeyes got that Tuesday night when 4-star St. Louis (Christian Brothers College) pass catcher Kamry Babb verbally committed to OSU. He announced the news via Twitter. The Buckeyes were the overwhelming favorite to land Babb…
