Ohio State saw a major piece of its 2025 class decommit on Monday, and the Buckeyes will host 2026 four-star Ohio QB Saturday.
The Buckeyes are set to host Indiana in what is a matchup between two top five schools. While some may doubt the Hoosiers because of their schedule, there is no questioning the importance of this weekend’s game for Ohio State.
Because of this, many of the headlines surrounding the team will focus on the weekend’s game, and rightfully so. However, Ohio State will continue to make the recruiting headlines as well, as the team learned all too well Monday recruiting never stops and holds few certainties.
In case you missed Ohio State making the recruiting headlines Monday, Land-Grant Holy Land has you covered.
Ohio State was the subject of an unfortunate update to the 2025 recruiting class on Monday, as the team learned four-star defensive edge commit Zahir Mathis (Philadelphia, PA / Imhotep Institute) reopened his recruitment and de-committed from the Buckeyes.
In Mathis’ announcement he titled it a, “life decision” and said that Ohio State will remain a top school for him. However, the Buckeyes are likely out of it for Mathis now, and Big Ten foe and hometown school Penn State are the new early favorites to land him. Penn State was the only other school to receive an official visit from Mathis, other than Ohio State.
Ohio State holds commitments from four-star edge Zion Grady, four-star defensive linemen Maxwell Roy, London Merritt, and three-star linemen Jarquez Carter and Trajen Odom. The Buckeyes are also still targeting a pair of defensive linemen in five-star Jahkeem Stewart and four-star Malik Autry, both of who are reportedly scheduled to visit Ohio State on Nov. 30 for the Michigan game.
The Buckeyes still hold claim to the top spot in the 2025 247Sports Class Rankings, but the gap between them and second place Georgia narrowed significantly due to the loss of Mathis.
Mathis is the No. 6 edge in the 247Sports Composite Rankings and he is the No. 76 overall prospect. He is also the No. 3 recruit out of Pennsylvania.
Ohio State is set to host a handful of prospects this weekend as it gears up to play Indiana in what looks to be a top 5 matchup. The visitor list for this weekend’s game will likely grow as the week progresses, and on Monday another up and coming prospect added his name to the list.
Rising 2026 four-star quarterback Nathan Bernhard (Ashland, OH / Ashland) confirmed on Monday that he will be in attendance for this weekend’s game.
The Ohio signal caller holds scholarship offers from the likes of Akron, Duke, Indiana, Iowa State, Louisville, Michigan State, Penn State, Toledo and West Virginia, but he does not yet hold one from Ohio State. If this weekend’s visit goes to plan, he may leave Columbus with more than just a good impression.
Ohio State currently holds just two commitments in next year’s class with five-star wide receiver Chris Henry Jr. and the new addition of fellow WR Jaeden Ricketts, who committed to the Buckeyes last weekend.
Five-star QB Jared Curtis is still Ohio State’s top target at the position in next year’s class, but Bernhard now makes for another viable option for the Buckeyes. Bernhard is the No. 24 QB in the 247Sports Composite Rankings and is the No. 345 overall prospect. He is also the No. 16 recruit out of Ohio.

It is absolutely remarkable what this young man has been able to do. Against Utah this weekend, Travis Hunter had five receptions for 55 yards, a rushing touchdown, three tackles, and an interception... and that was kind of a down week for him.

Young Buckeyes rely on McMahon’s maturity after nearly falling in Belmont

Ohio State University Athletic Department
Ohio State is at a place where McMahon can’t take a night off, and it was the reason the team continues undefeated start
On paper, Ohio State women’s basketball was more than equipped to travel into Nashville and beat the Belmont Bruins soundly. While the mid-major side has key moments in the past few seasons, like a first-round win over the Oregon Ducks in the 2022 NCAA Tournament, recent history shows the talent gap between the schools.
Sunday, going off paper and onto the court, the Bruins gave the Buckeyes everything and a late nine-point Ohio State comeback gave head coach Kevin McGuff’s side their first road win of the season. Without Cotie McMahon on the court, it would’ve been a different story.
For two years, McMahon had those games where the headlines write themselves. Moments where she took games and put them on her shoulders. There were also games where it just wasn’t working in McMahon’s favor. While the highlights came more often than not, the underclassmen could afford to have a bad game here or there.
Now in year three, the forward from Centerville has graduated into a new role. The role of the steady foundation.
“I really can’t take games off,” said McMahon. “And that I mean I need to help my team this year, especially just because we’re young. We have all the pieces we need, but I’m a big part of that piece, so just making sure that I’m here to do what I can and do what I know I can do and what my team kind of believes in me to do.”
Ohio State needed all of McMahon Sunday, and she gave it. The junior scored 21 points, which came from her patented drives to the basket, taking contact and hitting the court hard. In the first quarter, it meant limping off the court holding her knee, but she came back quickly to still log a 40-minute game.
McMahon also shot from deep or found a midrange shot and was the only player to score in all four quarters for the Buckeyes.
“Coti, especially in the first half, kind of carried us offensively and yeah she made a lot of great plays,” said McGuff. “I like the fact that she was getting open shots in her perimeter, but also scoring around the basket and getting the free throw line. So she could balance her game, but you know we’re at our best and she’s playing really aggressively.”
McMahon averaged 14 points per game entering Sunday, but in each of the first two Buckeye games it wasn’t the junior taking total control. It was freshman Jaloni Cambridge in the first game and Chance Gray’s three-point shot in the second. Even so, McMahon was steady in each outing.
All offseason, McGuff’s talked about needing more three-point support. McMahon averaged .4 made threes per game in her first two seasons. In three games this year she’s at 2.0 per game.
Another element of a young team is giving the ball away. McMahon hasn’t had a season where she hasn’t given up at least 2.5 per game. In three games this year she’s only given up four total turnovers.
Whatever the Buckeyes need right now, McMahon is there to give it. Against Charlotte Tuesday, McMahon was the one who cut through a slow period in the third quarter to get Ohio State back on the right track following a fall that left Cambridge out of the rest of the game. Without McGuff calling a timeout to get the team back on the same page.
Then, after being that consistent force for Ohio State against Belmont, the lone force through most of the contest, McMahon stepped out of the way and Cambridge used that foundation to elevate the Scarlet and Gray.
Tied at 63-63 with 13 seconds remaining, the Buckeyes’ head coach drew up a play for either Cambridge or McMahon to go for the game-winning shot. Before that, Cambridge was 1-of-9 and missed eight shots in a row, but McMahon didn’t use that fact as a way to try and win the game herself.
Cambridge took the ball, was trusted with the decision-making between herself and McMahon, and nailed a layup plus a free throw. It was three of Cambridge’s four points in the final seconds of the game.
Following the game, McMahon sat next to Cambridge with the media as both were laughing and in high spirits following the late victory.
“I think at any point any of us could have done that and we definitely showed that throughout the stretch in that fourth quarter in the last couple of minutes that anyone could have made a shot for us,” said Cambridge. “It didn’t have to just be me, but the fact that everyone in my team believed in me is just I mean I proved out there that if I need to get a bucket then I can, but it’s not just about me.”
That comment from Cambridge is indicative of everything that’s been said by McMahon and the Buckeyes this season. Regardless of the class of the player, it’s a team effort, and with McMahon laying the foundation, Ohio State has tackled its first dose of true adversity in the 2024-25 season.
Overall, Sunday was a far cry from last year’s performance for McMahon. The then-sophomore had one point against Belmont, in Columbus, in an 84-55 rout of the Bruins. What did Belmont do differently on Sunday? Was it more of a Buckeye lull or Belmont adjustments? What did McMahon see last year that made her so effective on Sunday?
“100% honest answer, I don’t remember,” said McMahon. “All I know is I had one point.”
Even if McMahon is a different player on the court this season, she’s still Cotie McMahon.

Grumpy Old Buckeye: Nitpicking Ohio State’s 31-7 win over Northwestern

The Buckeyes played on a baseball field, so scoring fewer points was only natural.
Ohio State went to the friendly confines of Wrigley Field to play a football game against the Northwestern Wildcats, which was weird, and unfortunately, there was no getting away from the distraction of that as the broadcast team went out of its way to make baseball references throughout the game.
The Buckeyes came home with a 31-7 win, but at times — particularly early in the game — it was a bit annoying and seemingly harder than it had to be.
Here are the things that gave me cat scratch fever on Saturday.
Ohio State’s defense wasn’t ready for Northwestern’s 131st-ranked total offense at the start of the game. The Buckeyes missed a sack on the game’s first offensive snap, and then quickly got a Sonny Styles sack after Jack Sawyer missed the quarterback again on second down.
Ohio State then gave up a conversion on third-and-12 to the Wildcats’ No. 128 third-down offense when Sawyer took a wide rush up the field, allowing room underneath for an easy Cam Porter run for a first down. Barely-over-50%-passer Jack Lausch then turned into Patrick Mahomes, completing passes of 20 yards and 15 yards to work his team into scoring position.
Sawyer made up for his earlier miscues by forcing Lausch to fumble in the red zone. Davison Igbinosun recovered, making up for allowing one of those catches, and Ohio State finally took over after the Wildcats had taken seven minutes off the clock. One of the country’s worst offenses shredded the OSU defense to open the game, speaking to a lack of preparation and attitude.
The Buckeyes took over at their own 33-yard-line and started driving down the field. It wasn’t necessarily smooth sailing, as Ohio State had to convert a third down and a fourth down along the way, but the latter set the Buckeyes up at the Northwestern 38.
Chip Kelly then got cute for some reason, calling what appeared to be a reverse pass, as Emeka Egbuka took the ball from left to right looking to throw it. However, instead, he was tackled for a 5-yard loss, which put Ohio State behind the chains. Three plays later, the drive ended in an OSU punt.
The fourth-down conversion should have provided momentum, but instead, the Buckeyes got a bit too clever and stalled.
Lausch played way over his head in the early part of the game, hitting big plays down the field against Denzel Burke and Jermaine Matthews Jr. on the second Northwestern drive. The Wildcats took over on their own 8-yard line to start the possession and converted two more third downs, including a third-and-10 on a throw beating Burke.
The final two plays of the drive were the most humiliating, as Porter ran for 11 yards and Lausch capped the drive with an 8-yard touchdown run — both right up the middle against the heart of the defense. Northwestern took a 7-0 lead after the 13-play drive.
Ohio State may have dynamic athletes, but the kickoff returns against the Wildcats were ill-advised. TreVeyon Henderson decided to return the kick right after Northwestern’s touchdown and couldn’t get past the 15-yard line. To open the second half, Henderson again chose to return a kick and did slightly better, but the drive still started in poor field position due to a holding penalty.
While the special teams have blocked a couple of punts the last two games — on Saturday only due to an abysmal snap — Ohio State’s special teams continue to disappoint, and it’s an area where the Buckeyes should theoretically excel.
Former OSU offensive tackle J.B. Shugarts got a reputation for committing a false start just about every week. It got to be a running joke on Twitter that I still see in my feed whenever the Buckeyes move early. Davison Igbinosun has become the defensive equivalent, and his penalties cost Ohio State a lot more yards than Shugarts ever did.
Igbinosun again got grabby on Saturday, giving Northwestern a first down at Ohio State’s 21-yard line. Like he did at Penn State, Igbinosun made up for the penalty by making a play to end the drive, defending a fourth-down pass to turn the Wildcats over on downs. The veteran cornerback has to rein in his physicality and trust in his coverage a bit more, otherwise at some point, he’s not going to be able to make up for the error.
Those are the items that had me giving my cats serious side eye when the Buckeyes played Northwestern. Most of the game was fine, but the OSU defense didn’t seem prepared to play on the first couple of Northwestern drives. The offense was fine once it settled into the game.
It would by hypocritical of me to throw too much shade after a 31-7 win when I predicted a similar final score of 38-6. I suppose if there’s one other nit to pick, it’s that the starters stayed on the field about one drive too many.
Next up: The competition steps up in difficulty as the Buckeyes welcome the unbeaten Indiana Hoosiers to the Horseshoe at noon (yep, again) on Saturday.

The veteran cornerback has to rein in his physicality and trust in his coverage a bit more, otherwise at some point, he’s not going to be able to make up for the error.
Those are the items that had me giving my cats serious side eye when the Buckeyes played Northwestern. Most of the game was fine, but the OSU defense didn’t seem prepared to play on the first couple of Northwestern drives. The offense was fine once it settled into the game.
It would by hypocritical of me to throw too much shade after a 31-7 win when I predicted a similar final score of 38-6. I suppose if there’s one other nit to pick, it’s that the starters stayed on the field about one drive too many.
Next up: The competition steps up in difficulty as the Buckeyes welcome the unbeaten Indiana Hoosiers to the Horseshoe at noon (yep, again) on Saturday.

Ohio State lands 2026 commitment, predicted to flip former Alabama RB commit

2026 Ohio State WR commit Jaeden Ricketts with Buckeyes assistant coach Brian Hartline | via @JaedenRicketts2 on Twitter
The Buckeyes may flip a recruit, but are in danger of being flipped as well...
The end of the college football regular season is rapidly approaching, and things are really starting to heat up both on the field and on the recruiting trail. Ohio State needs to win its final two games in order to earn a trip to Indianapolis for a rematch against Oregon, and the Buckeyes are also trying to put the finishing touches on their 2025 class with Early Signing Day now just over two weeks away.
While Ryan Day’s group was earning a win at Wrigley Field on Saturday afternoon in a 31-7 victory over Northwestern, the program also picked up a new addition to its 2026 class in the form of four-star wide receiver Jaeden Ricketts, who announced his commitment to Ohio State shortly after its game against the Wildcats.
Ricketts, an in-state prospect and native of Pickerington, is currently listed as the No. 38 wide receiver in the country and the No. 11 player out of Ohio, per 247Sports’ rankings. The Watkins Memorial product holds nearly double-digit offers, most of which are from MAC schools, but impressed Buckeyes’ position coach Brian Hartline enough during a camp visit in June to earn his Ohio State offer.
The 6-foot-1 pass-catcher has made the short trip to Ohio State on multiple occasions this season, including for the Buckeyes’ games against Akron in the opener and most recently against Iowa on Oct. 5. Ricketts has also started getting to know fellow 2026 commit Chris Henry Jr., with the two standout receivers working together this past summer.
“We worked at a camp together and we’re kind of building on our relationship,” Ricketts told Lettermen Row. “We’re not really tight like that, but I know he could be my future teammate and I want to build that relationship with him.”
One of the strongest areas of Ricketts’ game is his speed, as he is a track star for the Warriors posting a 10.88 time in the 100-meter dash. While he isn’t near the top of the national rankings as an overall prospect, Hartline has clearly seen enough from the local kid to take him this early on in the process. The Buckeyes will likely look to take at least four receivers in this cycle, and they are off to a great start between Henry Jr. and Ricketts.
Elsewhere, Ohio State is continuing to try and put some finishing touches on its 2025 class. With not many uncommitted prospects remaining among the Buckeyes’ top targets, any late adds would likely come in the form of a flip from another school, and it appears Carlos Locklyn is on the right path to doing just that.
It has been no secret that Locklyn and OSU have been going hard after Anthony “Turbo” Rogers, the No. 8 RB and No. 141 overall prospect per the 247Sports Composite. The Montgomery, Alabama native had been committed to the Crimson Tide since June 2023, but the tide — pun intended — began to change over the weekend.
Mid-afternoon on Sunday, On3’s Steve Wiltfong logged an expert prediction in favor of Ohio State flipping Rogers from Alabama. Then, less than an hour later, news broke that Rogers officially de-committed from the Tide, announcing that he would instead be choosing between the Buckeyes and Georgia on Signing Day.
While nothing is set in stone just yet, the tea leaves seem to be reading in Ohio State’s favor in this recruitment. Rogers is fresh off an official visit to Columbus for last Saturday’s win over Purdue, and now a week later he is back on the open market with Crystal Ball predictions flooding in shades of Scarlet and Gray. Locklyn and the Buckeyes would love to add a third running back to their 2025 class that already features Bo Jackson and Isaiah West, and it sure looks like Rogers could be that guy.
It wasn’t all sunshine and rainbows for Ohio State this weekend though, as the flippers can quickly become the flippees. That sounds like it could be the case for the Buckeyes with one of their current commits in the 2025 class, as Steve Wiltfong cast an expert prediction for four-star linebacker Tarvos Alford to flip to Miami.
The in-state Hurricanes have been working hard on Alford throughout his recruitment, so James Laurinaitis and company will have some heavy lifting to do in order to keep the nation’s No. 9 LB locked in. Alford is one of three linebackers currently committed to Ohio State in this cycle, alongside Riley Pettijohn and Eli Lee.

Power Two Podcast: Nebraska can’t buy a win; Indiana vs. the SEC

In this episode, we discuss more coach firings and conference championship scenarios.
Welcome to a new episode of Land-Grant Podcast Network’s Power Two Podcast. On this show, we talk about Big Ten and SEC football…and everyone else. This show is for the die-hard fans and the casual college football fans.
After every week of action, we will catch you up on all the major matchups of the previous weekend and look ahead at the games, storylines, and players you should be paying attention to for the next week.
My name is Jordan Williams, and I am joined by my co-host DaNaysia Jones. Lock in as we run a power sweep through the college football landscape.
On this week’s episode, more coaches have been unceremoniously dismissed from their jobs, Curt Cignetti got a ridiculous extension from Indiana and Ashton Jeanty broke the Boise State single-season rushing record previously held by Jay Ayaji.
In the two-minute drill, Jordan and DJ discuss Colorado’s continued dominance and potential guaranteed spot in the Big 12 Championship. This prompted a deeper discussion about the Big 12 contenders and how everything could shake out.
Nebraska has another historic miss in clinching their bowl game. What could this season mean for the future of Dylan Raiola? Georgia runs all over Tennessee, but what does this mean for the rest of the SEC? Does Indiana lose their chance at getting into the College Football Playoff?
SEC “dominance” is a tiring topic of discussion, and has proven that a lot of bias is at play. Hopefully as the regular season comes to a close, we start to see fair assessments of which teams deserve a playoff berth and which ones just missed the mark.
In the pre-game power sweep, Jordan and DJ advise you to have your Friendsgiving parties on Friday night, because there is nothing to see. On Saturday, they recommend:
In the two-minute warning, Jordan praises Anthony Richardson’s performance in the Colts vs. Jets game. DJ shares her frustration with Dallas teams, but this time the Dallas Mavericks are in the hot seat.
If you like the show, please share it with friends and family and leave a five-star review. If you want to keep up with the show, subscribe to the Land-Grant Podcast Network Feed where new episodes drop every Monday.
