Every year, college football teams sign recruiting classes full of players who are viewed as reinforcements and positive additions to that year’s team. This is an accurate assessment, but what is often overlooked for each team is the number of redshirt freshmen who will actually be contributing while the true freshmen are…
After having to replace a two-year starter at left tackle in Jamarco Jones prior to last season, the Buckeyes are now in the situation of having to replace a three-year starter in right tackle Isaiah Prince. As a sophomore, Thayer Munford stepped in for Jones admirably and played well last year. The hope is that somebody will…
When it comes to throwing the ball, nobody has ever done it better at Ohio State than Dwayne Haskins. Sure, Haskins threw the ball more than any other Buckeye quarterback before him. He had 150 more attempts than the previous record holder. In fact, Haskins’ 373 completions this past season were just 11 completions short…
Ohio State’s offensive line is going to look a whole lot different than it did last season. Four starters depart for the Buckeyes, leaving offensive line coach Greg Studrawa to find a new starting right tackle, two new starting guards, and a new starting center. There are a number of possibilities to replace the departed starters, which…
First, the good news: The Buckeyes will return four players with at least some starting experience. Thayer Munford was solid as the starting left tackle all year. If he returns healthy from an injury that kept him out of the Rose Bowl, he should be a good building block for the line.
The Ohio State football team gained two new official members on Tuesday, including the highest-ranked player in the Buckeyes’ 2018 recruiting class. Offensive linemen Nicholas Petit-Frere and Jack Jamieson both lost their black stripes during practice. Petit-Frere was a 5-star recruit, ranked as the No. 7 overall player in the 2018 class. His recruitment came right down to the wire, but he signed a Letter of Intent with the Buckeyes on February’s National Signing Day…
We have now come to the conclusion of our redshirt forecast. The first part of the forecast spoke of the Ohio State football freshmen who were most likely to redshirt. The second part spoke of those freshmen who were more likely to play than redshirt. Today’s conclusion focuses on those freshmen who have been talked…
The Ohio State football team took the field Saturday at the Woody Hayes Athletic Center for their first full-squad scrimmage of the fall. Fall camp just started a week ago, but the start of the OSU football season is closer than you think. In fact, the Buckeyes will already be done with their first regular season game against Oregon State three weeks from right now…
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…
Born and raised in Upper Arlington, “The Golden Bear” is a proud alumnus of The Ohio State University. Arguably the greatest golfer in history, Nicklaus won 18 career major golf championships. It is with Jack Nicklaus’ quote in mind that I direct my focus upon the last position group to review during spring football…
When Ohio State was able to sign 5-star offensive tackle Nicholas Petit-Frere earlier this month, it was one of the best recruiting coups of the 2018 cycle. Landing Petit-Frere out of Tampa wasn’t all that unusual, as the Buckeyes have had plenty of success in the Tampa area over the years. Ohio State did have an ace in…
