We also touched on Gene Smith’s upcoming retirement, Jim Harbaugh’s suspension being postponed, and Oregon and Washington joining the conference.
We are back to our weekly season schedule!
There’s a ton of news and we can’t possibly get to everything, but we did get to a lot of things. Even though we’re not big recruiting news guys, we did get to talk a little bit about two new Ohio State recruits, and maybe it says a lot about us that we spent more time discussing the new preferred walk on long snapper than the four-star wide receiver.
Preseason is the time for watch lists and at Ohio State, there are usually going to be players on the watch list for every major award. We go through the Walter Camp, Butkus Award, Thorpe Award, and Doak Walker Award watch lists and discuss the Buckeyes from whom folks will be expecting big things in 2023.
After that, we dove into the most recent Buckeyes to get their black stripes removed from their helmets. These weren’t exactly surprises but they were interesting. We also talked about Omari Abor’s unfortunate injury that will once again sideline him “for at least two months.”
But wait, there’s more!
Gene Smith is calling it a career as Ohio State’s athletic director next year. We talked a little about the job he’s done and who might be the next AD (and why it will take annoyingly longer to get a new one without a new university president).
We couldn’t possibly not talk about the Big Ten’s expansion, with Oregon and Washington joining the party. We also weighed in on why we think the Pac 12 disintegrated and which other schools we could see in the B1G in the coming years.
Jim Harbaugh’s suspension wasn’t officially sanctioned by the committee on rules infractions and for some dumb reason that means he will skate through 2023 without a suspension — instead getting to postpone any consequences until 2024. So...what happens if he jumps to the NFL after this season? [thinking face emoji]
Finally, we’re bringing you our predictions for how the Big Ten West will shake out by the end of the 2023 season. We surprised each other. Did we surprise you?
We’re finally back to our in-season broadcast schedule, returning to our weekly format as we ramp up for the 2023 Ohio State football season. In the meantime, feel free to reach out with your feedback and questions below in the comments section or send us an email.

LGHL Ohio State set to host big time 2024 offensive line prospect

Ohio State set to host big time 2024 offensive line prospect

2024 four-star offensive lineman Jordan Seaton via Andrew Ivins, 247Sports
The Buckeyes are scheduled to play host to four-star offensive lineman this fall.
The Ohio State football team has had a busy start to August when it comes to recruiting. The Buckeyes earned a third wide receiver commitment this weekend when Jeremiah McClellan joined five-stars Jeremiah Smith and Mylan Graham in what is another incredible haul at the position by Brian Hartline.
Ohio State is not done yet, and will hope to add to its class again before the month is up. With the regular season right around the corner, a lot of focus will shift towards the current roster of Buckeyes. However, recruiting never takes a backseat for the Buckeyes and that will continue into the fall.
One of the Buckeye’s biggest priority positions to close out the 2024 class is at offensive tackle. Ohio State has four commitments up front this class in four-stars Ian Moore, Devontae Armstrong and three-stars Deontae Armstrong and Marc Nave. The Buckeyes want to add a prolific offensive tackle alongside this group, and will get a chance to improve their standing with 2024 four-star OT Jordan Seaton (Washington DC, IMG Academy) later this fall.
Ohio State has long been recruiting Seaton, offering him in September of 2022. Because of this relationship, back in March when Seaton dropped a top schools list of 14 schools, Ohio State made the cut. The Buckeyes have continued to recruit the blue-chip tackle and will soon get a chance to host him on an official visit, the weekend Ohio State hosts Maryland.
Alongside Ohio State, Seaton will also take an official visit with LSU, Florida, Oklahoma, Oregon and South Carolina. He will also take an unofficial visit with Alabama.
Seaton’s recruitment is still wide open and Ohio State has to like that they are one of the schools that will have the chance to host him on an official visit.
Ohio State is also still heavily recruiting five-star offensive tackle Brandon Baker (Santa Ana CA / Mater Dei) although they are far from alone. Regarded by many as the top OT in the 2024 class, Baker is considering schools like Ohio State, Texas, Oregon, Nebraska, among others. However, Texas appears to have a slight edge over the Buckeyes at this point in time.
Baker does not yet have a commitment date, but there is a chance he decides before his senior season, whereas Seaton likely will not as he has official visits scheduled for the Fall. If Baker were to commit to Texas, Ohio State would love to add Seaton as a finishing piece to its offensive line haul in the 2024 class. They would easily make room for both if the opportunity were to arise.
Seaton is the No. 1 IOL in the 2024 class and is the No. 39 overall prospect. He is also the No. 6 recruit from DC. Baker is the No. 1 OT in the 2024 class and is the No. 21 overall prospect. He is also the No. 2 recruit from California.
Houston is also considering Georgia, Alabama, USC and Clemson, but the Buckeyes are the current favorites with both of the 247Sports Crystal Ball predictions.

He will also take an unofficial visit to Alabama on Oct. 21.

Quick Hits
- Ohio State will not need to wait long to see if it will be adding to its 2024 recruiting class, following the commitment of McClellan. Five-star defensive lineman Eddrick Houston (Buford, GA / Buford) is scheduled to commit Aug. 22. Houston is the No. 4 DL prospect and would make for a huge addition in the Buckeyes defensive line haul alongside five-star Justin Scott.
Houston is also considering Georgia, Alabama, USC and Clemson, but the Buckeyes are the current favorites with both of the 247Sports Crystal Ball predictions.

Ohio State Football Countdown: 18

One play or big moment per day as we count down to the start of Ohio State’s 2023 football season.
As we count down to the start of the 2023 season, we will be looking back at one play or big moment in Ohio State history over the past decade or so that corresponds to the remaining days left until Buckeyes take the field against Indiana on Sept. 2. There are 18 days remaining.
Dontre Wilson was essentially Curtis Samuel light at Ohio State before injuries hampered his career. Ranking fourth on the team with nearly 1,000 total yards as a freshman, the speedster was exactly the type of H-back Urban Meyer loved in his offense. Unfortunately, Wilson broke his foot during his sophomore season against Michigan State, and things were never quite the same after that. He did, however, make some contributions during his senior season in 2016, including this 18-yard TD against Rutgers. In total, Wilson put up nearly 1,300 yards as a kick returner and 1,353 yards from scrimmage as a Buckeye.
