Ohio State will be led by a record number of captains in 2017 with nine players selected to lead the Scarlet and Gray on and off the gridiron. The corps of leaders, all voted on by their teammates, features five on defense, including four defensive linemen, and four on offense, led by the first three-time captain in program history.
Look, we all knew this was a possibility. I planned my annual list of Ohio State playmakers on offense, and that went fine. I then decided to do the same thing once again on defense, but things haven’t gone so well. I thought I would have time to get it done, but I’m running out of time, and I still have other commitments that…
There is a reason why Urban Meyer doesn’t like to redshirt players. The way he sees it, if a player is any good, they’ll never get that fifth year back that they were saving. And if they aren’t any good, do you really want them hanging around for all five years? Despite the low tolerance for redshirting, it happens every single…
It’s sad to me that there are only 30 things left to look forward to this Buckeye football season. This year of looking forward has just flown by. It wasn’t too long ago that the preseason looking forward magazines were just hitting the shelves. And now here we are with the looking forward season almost over. What a year…
Some version of this tale is told every year. A talented college football player leaves early for the NFL because he wants to take care of his family. He wants to give the world to his mother and an NFL paycheck is the start of that. He says goodbye to his college life and welcomes in his next step, doing it as much for his family as himself.
Ohio State brought three redshirt seniors with them to Chicago on Monday for Big Ten Media Days. Center Billy Price, defensive end Tyquan Lewis, and middle linebacker Chris Worley were all on hand to productively spend the day talking non-stop with reporters. During their session with the “print” media, they each spent…
The Maxwell Football Club today announced its watch lists for the 81st annual Maxwell Award and the 23rd annual Chuck Bednarik Award, and multiple Ohio State Buckeyes are on the radar for the organization’s respective player of the year and defensive player of the year awards. A pair of fifth-year seniors – quarterback J.T. Barrett and defensive end Tyquan Lewis…
It sounds unbelievable, but the Ohio State Buckeyes could have six defensive linemen selected in the 2018 NFL Draft. The current record is five, and it probably won’t surprise you to find out that it was set by Miami in 2003. That’s right, the Hurricanes team that Ohio State beat for the 2002 National Title sent five…
You can’t really take a walk down the internet without running into an NFL mock draft these days. And you almost can’t be a Buckeye without eventually having your name mentioned inside one of those drafts. Even though we’ve just hit our second week of summer, the mock draft season is year round. With that…
Ohio State players and coaches from the offensive side of the ball have talked at length about the differences with the offense now with Kevin Wilson at the helm. If you want a different perspective, however, you go to the coaches who are trying to stop this new Buckeye offense.
