According to the projections and mock drafts, Buckeye cornerback Jeff Okudah is going to be drafted somewhere between the third and ninth pick of tonight’s NFL Draft. A First-Team All-American last season, one of Okudah’s goals when he arrived was to have his photo on the wall inside the Woody Hayes Athletic Center with the other great Buckeye cornerbacks.
When JK Dobbins was an All-American high school recruit, he was ranked the No. 2 “all-purpose back” in the nation. The term “all purpose” is usually another way of saying “smaller running back who probably can’t be a workhorse, but could provide big plays and also catch passes.” That definition didn’t fit Dobbins…
Chase Young won’t have to wait too long to hear his name called in Thursday night’s NFL Draft, provided his internet doesn’t buffer at the wrong moment. The former Ohio State defensive end is expected to be selected by the Washington Redskins with the second overall pick. Possibly going third to the Detroit Lions is former Buckeye cornerback Jeff Okudah.
The NFL Draft is just a few days away and normally in the weeks and months leading up to it, NFL coaches, GMs, and other front office personnel are watching players take part in pro days, or personal workouts, or interviewing them in person. However, most pro days didn’t happen this year because of the coronavirus pandemic. The in-person interviews were…
Trey Sermon rushed for 2,076 yards in his three seasons at Oklahoma, averaging 6.1 yards per carry and scoring 25 total touchdowns. Sermon was also an effective receiver and pass blocker, all of which made him a coveted target once he hit the transfer portal last month. A little over a week before Sermon hit the portal, the Buckeyes suffered a blow at running back when…
Ohio State head coach Ryan Day took part in a conference call with reporters on Wednesday to answer questions about his team and how things are going with the monitoring of players. He also talked about transfer running back Trey Sermon, as well as the upcoming NFL Draft and his thoughts on how some Buckeyes would do. Day also answered questions about recruiting…
Ohio State’s spring game was supposed to be taking place tomorrow, but it was canceled long ago due to the COVID-19 pandemic which has impacted the entire sports world. Since then, all spring sports at Ohio State and the NCAA have been canceled, and even though the college football season is still five months away, there are mounting concerns that fall sports…
Ohio State returns a starter from last season at quarterback, receiver, left tackle, center, right guard, defensive end, two at linebacker, and a cornerback. As is the case every year, some spots are more veteran than others. Coaches try to keep positions from being thinned out, but the recruiting gods (and transfer portal) don’t always cooperate. This iteration of the…
Normally, the Ohio State football team would be about one week out from wrapping up spring practice. Instead, spring football came to a close for the Buckeyes four weeks ago tomorrow. They were able to get three practices in before everyone took off for spring break. Soon after, everything changed and eventually all university athletic activities were essentially…
Ryan Day and his coaching staff have signed two classes at Ohio State and are a little more than halfway through putting their third class together. Day’s first class (2019) ranked 14th nationally, but that’s because it was a small class with just 17 signees. The average ranking per player, however, was third-highest in the nation, behind only Alabama and Georgia.
