IIRC he really never had much interest in TCUN. Wasn't it his mom who made the comment "who wants to go be a QB at a school where all you do is hand the ball off?"

Right.......as we all know, Michigan sucks. But they still wanted him. I don't consider them being a terrible offense as them not wanting him.

Quincy is out for the first game. Making a cool $1.5M on the bench.

X Brax.

Just sayin': I kind of wondered why Hunter Callahan left. I thought maybe some college hired him as a head tennis coach. I Googled that and couldn't find anything. I Googled Ohio State tennis coaches' salaries and found he was only making $36,723.96 a year. Hell, he undoubtedly can make a lot more that being a tennis pro at a country club just giving wealthy ladies lessons.....

By the Numbers: Key numbers about this year’s Ohio State Buckeyes

Even with one of the youngest rosters in the country, Ohio State has a ton of talent ready to unleash.

www.landgrantholyland.com

43 / 341 / 9​

Should Jeremiah Smith post these numbers (he will) in receptions, receiving yards, and touchdowns, he will be Ohio State’s career record-holder in all three categories.

Smith needs 43 receptions to break Emeka Egbuka’s receptions record, 341 yards to break Michael Jenkins’ receiving yards record, and nine touchdowns to break Chris Olave’s touchdowns record.

It would be a lot of receptions, yards and TDs; but I'd definitely like to see him break all three records in week 2.

Hokies name Penn State transfer Ethan Grunkemeyer top QB​

James Franklin officially named Ethan Grunkemeyer the Virginia Tech starting quarterback Monday as the Hokies prepare to open the season against VMI.

The move was widely expected after Grunkemeyer followed Franklin to Virginia Tech from Penn State. Grunkemeyer started the final seven games for the Nittany Lions last season after Drew Allar got hurt, winning his final four games. In 11 total appearances, Grunkemeyer threw for 1,339 yards and eight touchdowns, and he added one TD rushing.

Franklin was fired midway through the season last year at Penn State and ultimately took the Virginia Tech job in November. In discussing Grunkemeyer at his weekly news conference in Blacksburg, Virginia, Franklin said the quarterback had led the QB1 competition over the past few weeks.

"I think he has his teammates' respect. I think there's a level of consistency and maturity.

Just sayin': Virginia Tech went 3-9 last season. Franklin is a good coach and the team should easily get more than double the wins this season than they had last season. However, he's not likely to duplicate Frank Beemer's run of winning double digits 10 times (including 8 consecutive seasons) before his slip into mediocracy. Times have changed; it now takes more NIL money than Virginia is currently spending to compete for championships.

Former Ohio State football player hit with big NFL news over the weekend that not many had coming​

Ohio State’s football program wins too thanks to a former Buckeye turned NFL undrafted free agent who won a job on a 53 man roster.



t was a successful weekend for the Ohio State Buckeyes when it comes to their former players sticking on NFL rosters and making their spot known for the 2026 NFL season.

Ohio State had all 11 draft picks from the 2026 NFL Draft make rosters, and all 25 draft picks from the last two years made initial 53-man rosters around the NFL.

Overall, Ohio State has 59 players on initial 53-man rosters around the NFL. The Buckeyes also had a pair of undrafted free agents from the 2025 team make rosters, with Josh Fryar and Seth McLaughlin both securing NFL spots.

Ethan Onianwa’s roster spot is the biggest surprise of the weekend​

The biggest surprise of the bunch is Ohio State’s seventh-round pick, offensive tackle Ethan Onianwa, making the Atlanta Falcons’ initial 53-man roster. That’s big news for the former seventh-round selection who did not start at Ohio State at all.

DIANTÉ GRIFFIN, THE GRANDSON OF OHIO STATE LEGEND ARCHIE GRIFFIN, COMMITS TO OHIO STATE AS PREFERRED WALK-ON

Dianté Griffin Returns to Ohio Stadium for “Full Circle” Moment After Transferring to Ball State​

Archie Griffin will have rooting interests on both sides as Ohio State hosts Ball State in its season opener on Saturday.

Griffin will be rooting for Ohio State to win, of course, as the Buckeye legend still deeply loves his alma mater more than 50 years after winning his second Heisman Trophy. But he’ll also be cheering for his grandson to play well in Ohio Stadium.

Those rooting interests were one and the same for the past four years. Dianté Griffin was a walk-on cornerback for Ohio State from 2022-25. Griffin entered the transfer portal for his final year of college football, however, seeking an opportunity to be a scholarship player. That opportunity just so happened to come from Ohio State’s season-opening opponent.

As such, Dianté Griffin will begin his new chapter at Ball State playing in the same stadium where he played his home games for the last four years, and where he became an Ohio State graduate in May.

“It’s a surreal moment. Full circle,” Dianté told Eleven Warriors when asked about returning to the Shoe. “I never thought I would be playing at Ohio Stadium after my Senior Day against Rutgers last year again.”

Still proud to be a Buckeye​

Dianté has only good things to say when reflecting on his time as a Buckeye. While he played only three snaps on special teams over four seasons, he’s proud that he was part of a national championship team and of the work that he put in behind the scenes.

“People always see the guys that are out there going to war, but they don't always recognize the people that were going to war behind the scenes throughout the week, putting in that real pain in practice. But we got our credit in the Woody, and that's really all that matters,” Dianté said. “During that time, you put so much into the moment to be a part of the team and be a part of the success, and it just feels like it all pays off.”

Dianté says his favorite part of being a Buckeye was the connections he made with his former Ohio State teammates and coaches over the last four years. He’s excited to reunite with many of them this weekend, particularly the Buckeyes’ returning defensive backs and Ohio State secondary coach Tim Walton.

“All my BIA brothers, man, they're always checking in on me, I'm checking in on them,” Dianté said. “Inky Jones, Jaylen McClain, Leroy Roker, Jermaine (Mathews Jr.), they're my brothers, man. And Coach Walt, he really helped me. I came in with Coach Walt, my first year was his first year as well, so we did a lot together. So it's going to be nice seeing all them boys.”

As the seventh different member of his family to play for Ohio State, also joining his father (Andre Griffin), uncle (Adam Griffin), great uncles (Ray Griffin and Duncan Griffin) and his other grandfather (Dave Reynolds), Dianté is proud to be an Ohio State graduate and that he was able to continue his family’s legacy as a Buckeye.

“It means the world to me personally,” Griffin said. “All my family members on my mother and my father's side all graduated from Ohio State. I grew up being a Buckeye fan, I was a Buckeye for life. And when I got the opportunity to continue my athletic career and my academic career at Ohio State, I took that on and did the work for me to finish and get my degree.”

Just sayin': In case you wondered......Diante’s father, Andre Griffin, played running back for the Buckeyes from 1998-2001, while his uncle, Adam Griffin, was a defensive back at Ohio State from 2010-13 before a shoulder injury ended his career. While neither had the same impact on their field as Archie, they both found success after college, as Andre went into coaching and Adam went into the financial sector.

William Jewell College RB dies after medical emergency during game​

William Jewell College junior running back MicahJo Barnett died after experiencing a medical emergency on the sideline -- and shortly after scoring a touchdown -- during the Missouri-based Division II school's season opener against Fort Lewis College on Saturday, police and school officials said.

Without providing many details, police in Liberty, Missouri, issued a statement that said emergency officials at the game attended to a player about 20 minutes after kickoff. The player was transported by ambulance to a hospital, police said.

The player was pronounced dead at the hospital and was identified by the school as Barnett. No other details were released.
