Fourth-year junior offensive lineman Matthew Burrell announced via social media on Wednesday that he is transferring from the Ohio State football program. Burrell, from Woodbridge, Virginia, was a valuable reserve guard for the Buckeyes in 2016 and 2017. He earned letters in each of the past two seasons, playing…
The quarterback battle for Ohio State may be the biggest story of the spring. Can Dwayne Haskins prove this spring that he was the quarterback we caught a glimpse of against Michigan? Can Joe Burrow re-stake his claim to the position after breaking his hand last summer? And what does Tate Martell have up his cut-off sleeves…
Ohio State kicked off spring practice on Tuesday and the Buckeyes were without a handful of key players due to injury, including four players who started last season.

Before camp got going for Ohio State, Urban Meyer said the competition at right guard featured seven possible names. Now, nearly two weeks into camp, those seven names have only been whittled down to six. Redshirt juniors Malcolm Pridgeon and Demetrius Knox, redshirt sophomores Matt Burrell and Branden Bowen…
Football season is officially upon us! Tony is probably huddled in the corner of the Woody somewhere wondering where life went wrong, Urban Meyer is praying someone parks in his spot again, Larry Johnson is wondering where he is going to play 14 future NFL defensive linemen, and Kerry Coombs is probably on…
Ohio State has now had two fall practices to further evaluate the handful of open positions waiting to be settled.
