Big Change On The Way For Chris Olave In 2020
Chris Olave is going to have a new look for the 2020 Ohio State football season. The junior wide receiver announced on Twitter that he would be sporting a new jersey number this fall.
How Will Ohio State Replace… LB Malik Harrison
Malik Harrison was one of those Central Ohio prospects who had to wait until after his senior season to receive an Ohio State offer. A three-star prospect out of Walnut Ridge High School in Columbus, Harrison had already taken official visits to Wisconsin and Indiana before the Buckeyes ever even offered. Harrison finally got that OSU offer in…
Tyreke Smith, Branden Bowen, Possibly More Back for Buckeyes
Sophomore defensive end Tyreke Smith and fifth-year senior right tackle Branden Bowen are back this week for the Buckeyes after missing last Saturday’s game in Nebraska. Smith was injured in the first half of the Miami (OH) game and has not played since. There were some rumblings that he could be out for much longer than just one week, but his return comes…
Jonathon Cooper Back in Lineup for Buckeyes, Branden Bowen Game-Time Decision
After missing the first four games of the season due to an undisclosed injury, senior defensive end Jonathon Cooper is finally back in the Ohio State lineup. Ohio State released their Friday availability report and Cooper’s lack of presence on the list is very welcome news for the Buckeyes. Cooper’s return is even…

Everybody loves college football. If somebody tells you they don’t love it, they’re wrong. We look forward to particular games and watching certain players. Each week we get to see something new.

Fall Camp 2019 To Do List: LB Coach Al Washington
Fall camp gets underway for the Buckeyes on Friday and every single Ohio State position coach will have a mental list of things that they need to get done. In fact, they may actually have a physical list as well. Speculating as to what might be on each assistant coach’s list is always a fun exercise, and there are no shortages of items that will need to be addressed.
Expect More Linebackers On Field This Season For Buckeyes
Back when former Ohio State cornerbacks coach Kerry Coombs was trying to create a 3-man — or even 4-man — rotation at cornerback, he would frequently have people asking him why. He would explain his position and also remark that nobody had any problem with defensive ends rotating, so why should people be so preoccupied with corners doing the same thing?
What Is the Buckeyes’ Most Interesting Position Battle?
Perhaps the most intriguing part of any fall camp is the position battle. Sure, everybody wants to know how the quarterback is doing — and a position battle at quarterback is always huge, but there are other position battles going on every year as well. This year, despite losing a sizable number of starters, many of the position battles at Ohio State…

It is now July — or thereabouts — which means it is time to ramp up our 2019 Ohio State football preview topics. Up first, is our annual rankings of the Buckeyes’ Top 10 playmakers on both sides of the ball, beginning with the defense.

Six for Saturday: Buckeyes Primed For Stardom In 2019
Last year, the Buckeyes had a star emerge at quarterback as Dwayne Haskins set all kinds of Ohio State passing records. The year before, it was freshman running back JK Dobbins. In 2016, you saw Malik Hooker, Curtis Samuel, Marshon Lattimore, Nick Bosa and I can’t even remember who else become stars. It happens every year. New stars take over…
Ohio State Spring Recap — Can the Linebackers Return to Form?
Ohio State returns all three starting linebackers from last season in Tuf Borland, Malik Harrison, and Pete Werner. In fact, they lost just two linebackers from last year’s team. The Buckeyes were two or three players deep this spring at each linebacker position, which gave new linebackers coach Al Washington plenty to watch throughout camp.
