Spring is turning into summer, but spring sports are still going—with a trophy to show for it.
Most of the spring sports seasons have wrapped, with a few coming to a close in the last week and just a handful of stragglers still in postseason contention. Read on for the latest updates on tennis, baseball, track & field, and more.
Both men’s and women’s tennis ended their seasons during the NCAA Singles and NCAA Doubles Championships this weekend, and while the No. 1 men’s team isn’t coming home with the trophy after losing in the semifinal round last weekend, two individuals won’t be coming home empty-handed.
Robert Cash and JJ Tracy return to Columbus as the men’s doubles champions after a three-set match against Florida State’s Antoine Cornut-Chauvinc and Joshua Dous Karpenschif.
It is the third time in program history and the second consecutive season an OSU duo has won the doubles championship (Andrew Lutschaunig and James Trotter won last year for the Buckeyes).
The victory marked the end of both players’ collegiate careers, a finale fitting of these tremendous athletes. Cash finishes his time as a Buckeye with the most doubles wins in program history, and he now has the trophy to match.
Four Buckeyes competed in the singles championship, with Tracy and Jack Anthrop advancing as far as the Quarterfinals. Both players earned All-America honors for their performances.
Cannon Kingsley and Justin Boulais also competed for the men. Both fell in the second round of the Singles Championship. Kingsley was seeded in singles play and also earned All-America honors.
On the women’s side, Irina Cantos Siemers and Luciana Perry competed in both the NCAA Singles and NCAA Doubles Championship over the weekend, falling in the opening round of the doubles tournament but advancing to the round of 16 in singles.

Irina Cantos Siemers competes in the Round of 16 at the NCAA Singles Championship.
Both players earned All-America honors. Cantos Siemers finished her career as a Buckeye with the program record for singles wins (127), as well as combined singles/doubles wins (224). Her 97 career doubles wins are good for fourth in program history.
Perry, for her part, was the only freshman to reach the third round in this year’s tournament. She ends her rookie season having been named Big Ten Freshman of the Year, with a spot on the All-Big Ten team. She is tied for the program record for most doubles wins by a freshman, while her singles victories are good for the fifth-best freshman season in program history.
Ohio State’s season came to an end last Friday after they were defeated by Nebraska in a Big Ten Tournament elimination game, their second meeting of the tournament.
While Nebraska held the No. 2 seed to OSU’s No. 7 seed, the Buckeyes dominated in their first meeting of the tournament, opening tournament play last Tuesday, May 21, with a 15-2 run-rule victory over the Huskers.
The Buckeyes moved on to face Indiana (the No. 3 seed) in the Big Ten Quarterfinals on Thursday, falling 14-7 and moving them into the elimination bracket.
It was in that elimination game that Nebraska had the chance to even the score, taking an early lead with a three-run home run in the first and tacking on a fourth run in the bottom of the second with an RBI single.
The Buckeyes finally got on the board in the third, off an RBI single from Trey Lipsey, but the Huskers had a quick answer in the bottom of the inning when an RBI double gave them a 5-1 advantage.
The Buckeyes added a run in each of the next two innings—off a groundout from Hunter Rosson in the fourth and off a combination of a Henry Kaczmar double and a Husker error that allowed Lipsey to score. But again the Huskers had an answer, adding a solo home run in the bottom of the fifth to make it 6-3.
Adding three runs in the seventh and three runs in the eighth gave the Huskers some insurance, and while the Buckeyes managed to score two in the top of the ninth, it wasn’t enough to close the gap, making the final score 12-5 in favor of Nebraska.
Lipsey and Matthew Graveline led with a pair of hits each, and Lipsey added a pair of RBIs. The loss went to Colin Purcell, who gave up five runs on four hits in 2.2 innings, striking out one batter. Gavin Bruni pitched relief.
Despite a shaky day in Carlsbad, California, on Monday, the Buckeyes advanced to match play in the NCAA Championship after a seventh-place finish during the stroke play portion of the Championship.
The Buckeyes were led by Adam Wallin, who was sitting atop the individual leaderboard heading into Monday’s round and who finished tied for eighth during the stroke play portion, with scores of 68-74-69-76 across the four rounds. His four-round score came in at one-under par, marking the Buckeyes’ first top-10 finish since 1995.
The rest of the team did their part as well, and they managed to maintain their composure even when the Buckeyes dipped below the cut line temporarily on Monday. Neal Shipley and Jackson Chandler were good for back-to-back birdies to get the Buckeyes back on course, helping the Buckeyes finish with a final round of 297 (+22), three strokes ahead of Georgia Tech (the final team to advance) and four ahead of Oklahoma, who was the first team cut.
Shipley in particular had a great day on Monday, finishing at even-par with a score of 72. Chandler finished the day three-over par with a score of 75, and Maxwell Moldovan finished the day with a score of 74.
The final golfer for the Buckeyes was Tyler Sabo, who tallied a final-round score of 78 (six-over). As the highest score for the day is discarded, his did not count toward the team total.
Up next, the Buckeyes will take on Vanderbilt in the quarterfinals Tuesday morning, beginning at 10:40 a.m. ET, in the quarterfinal round. Vanderbilt finished stroke play at +10 over the four rounds, good for a second-place finish.
The Buckeye track & field team spent last week in Kentucky competing in the NCAA East First Round, May 22-25, with two men’s entries and seven women’s entries advancing to the NCAA Championships, beginning Wednesday, June 5 at the University of Oregon.
On the women’s side, Aniya Mosley’s record-breaking performance in the 800m was the highlight, as she broke the program record with her time of 2:01.52 and finished sixth overall to advance.
Leah Bertrand and Nya Bussey both qualified in multiple events, finishing ninth and 12th in the 100m with times of 11.09 and 11.26, respectively, to move on to the semifinals. They will be joined by Marcia Sey and Fatouma Conde in the 4x100m relay after the quad ran a season-best 43.09 to advance, moving them into third in program history.

Conde will also be running in the 4x400m relay, along with Chanler Robinson, Columba Effiong, and Bryannia Murphy, who finished ninth with another season-best time of 3:29.83 to advance.
Janela Spencer punched her ticket in 100m hurdles with a time of 13.15, while Faith Bender finished fifth in discus to move on after boasting a best mark of 57.39m / 188’3”.
For the men, Reign Wilson finished sixth in the high jump to advance after clearing a personal-best 2.17m / 7’1.5”. He is joined by Hayden Tobias, whose best throw of 19.14m / 62’9.5” in shot put was good for eighth place.
The NCAA Championships can be watched on ESPN2.
After taking fourth at the Big Ten Championships, Ohio State received an at-large bid to compete in the 2024 NCAA Championships, held May 31-June 2. It will be their 24th appearance in the Championships.
The Buckeyes will field two eight boats (first varsity eight and second varsity eight), along with one four boat (first varsity four).

2025 four-star edge Mariyon Dye via Mick Walker - @MickWalker247, 247Sports
The Buckeyes’ coaching staff is also getting ready to host a handful of recruits this weekend on official visits.
The Ohio State football team has had a very busy spring. The staff was busy hosting recruits for camps and working with this current roster of Buckeyes ahead of the upcoming season, which holds lofty expectations.
This hard work paid dividends for the Buckeyes, as they earned multiple verbal commitments and placed themselves in a great position for several other elite prospects that have yet to decide. The Buckeyes 2025 recruiting class now sits at No. 2 in the 247Sports Composite Rankings, trailing only Notre Dame — who has 10 more commitments in its class.
There was not a lot of recruiting news featuring the Buckeyes on Memorial Day. Hopefully the staff had a relaxing holiday weekend, because things are only going to get busier for them in the coming months. As the seasons switch from spring to summer, the Ohio State coaches only have to work harder. Ohio State is preparing to host multiple recruits on official visits this weekend, alike many of the nation’s top football programs.
But before official visits begin, the Buckeyes learned recently that they moved one step closer in securing one their top defensive line prospects in the 2025 class when four-star edge Mariyon Dye (Elkhart, IN / Elkhart) announced his top eight schools.
Alongside Ohio State, Dye also included Tennessee, Georgia, Penn State, Florida State, Michigan, Purdue, and LSU in his top schools. Of these schools, Dye currently has official visits scheduled with Ohio State, Purdue, Georgia, Florida State and Tennessee. His official visit with the Buckeyes is scheduled for June 14.
Dye is the No. 16 edge in the 247Sports Composite Rankings and he is the No. 173 overall recruit. He is also the No. 3 recruit from Indiana.
As was previously mentioned, the Buckeyes will be playing host to a handful of elite recruits this weekend on official visits, similar to most of the nation’s top college football programs. The Buckeyes will likely add to this list throughout the week, but below are just a few of the prospects the staff are preparing to play host to in Columbus:

The Buckeyes who are becoming ex-Buckeyes, new Buckeyes, and news about former Buckeyes.
As the college football offseason rolls on, it’s the part of the year when less news out of the program is likely better. However, there are still some eventful things that have taken place since our last episode.
We start this show with a discussion of the Buckeyes who have taken their talents elsewhere. Six players are departing via the transfer portal after spring practice. We discuss those leaving and what it means for Ohio State. Dallan Hayden has to be the primary name among those leaving, and his was likely the brightest future in Columbus.
Following out transfer portal departure discussion, we check in on the 2024 recruits who are arriving on campus this summer. Although most of the incoming class arrived in the spring, there are some summer arrivals that fans shouldn’t sleep on.
While much of the discussion about transfers has to be devoted to the multiple folks leaving, there was a key arrival in the portal as well. Keenan Nelson was added to the Ohio State roster, and he could be an upgrade in the depth department at defensive back.
Ohio State will play the Northwestern Wildcats at Wrigley Field on Nov. 16. We’re not the biggest fans of the idea, although there isn’t a great substitute for games on campus in our view. Still, this one doesn’t excite us in the way some people seem to be fans of the announcement. We talk through this upcoming football game in a baseball facility.
Finally, we talked about a trio of former Buckeyes who were selected in the recent NFL Draft and have signed their first professional contracts. Marvin Harrison Jr., Cade Stover, and Tommy Eichenberg are getting paid well to play football on Sundays now.
We’ll continue coming at you monthly in the college football offseason, with plans to return to our weekly schedule in August 2024. We’d love to hear from you, so please reach out with your feedback and questions below in the comments section or send us an email.

Ohio State makes top schools for four-star Florida defensive lineman

Four-star 2025 DL Myron Charles | Andrew Ivins, 247Sports
The Buckeyes are also keeping an eye on a 2026 in-state wide receiver.
All told it has been a quiet holiday weekend for Ohio State recruiting — at least by the Buckeyes’ standards. That being said, while everyone else was off enjoying the beach and the barbecue, the program still found a way to get its name into some recruiting headlines.
On Sunday, the Ohio State coaching staff and position coach Larry Johnson learned they have made the cut for four-star 2025 defensive lineman Myron Charles. The Florida native has cut his list down from over 30 offers to just six schools, with the Buckeyes among the contenders alongside Georgia, Florida, Florida State, Texas and Miami.
Standing at 6-foot-4, 295 pounds, Charles currently ranks as the No. 13 DL and No. 123 prospect nationally, per the 247Sports Composite. Likely projecting as an interior lineman at the next level, Charles has experience working out of various alignments at the prep level, and has good flexibility and athleticism for his size. According to Andrew Ivins of 247Sports, Charles will likely need some time to develop further in order to become an impact player in the Power Four, as he is still somewhat raw from a technical standpoint.
Ohio State faces an uphill battle if they are to sway Charles up North, as the D-lineman seems to favor the in-state schools at this juncture. The junior has official visits set with Florida (May 31), Miami (June 14) and Florida State (June 21), and it is the Seminoles who are viewed as the current favorite with the lone Crystal Ball in their favor. The Buckeyes will almost certainly need to get Charles on campus for an OV if they want to have a shot in this race.
As things stand, Ohio State has two defensive linemen committed in 2025 in four-stars London Merritt and Zahir Mathis, but coach LJ will need to add several more guys to the room in this cycle with Jack Sawyer, J.T. Tuimoloau and Tyleik Williams all set to go pro after this season. Charles remains an option up the middle, while other potential DL prospects the Buckeyes are chasing include Damien Shanklin, Justin Hill, Mariyon Dye and Zion Grady, among others.

Four-star 2025 DL Myron Charles | Andrew Ivins, 247Sports
The Buckeyes are also keeping an eye on a 2026 in-state wide receiver.
All told it has been a quiet holiday weekend for Ohio State recruiting — at least by the Buckeyes’ standards. That being said, while everyone else was off enjoying the beach and the barbecue, the program still found a way to get its name into some recruiting headlines.
On Sunday, the Ohio State coaching staff and position coach Larry Johnson learned they have made the cut for four-star 2025 defensive lineman Myron Charles. The Florida native has cut his list down from over 30 offers to just six schools, with the Buckeyes among the contenders alongside Georgia, Florida, Florida State, Texas and Miami.

Standing at 6-foot-4, 295 pounds, Charles currently ranks as the No. 13 DL and No. 123 prospect nationally, per the 247Sports Composite. Likely projecting as an interior lineman at the next level, Charles has experience working out of various alignments at the prep level, and has good flexibility and athleticism for his size.

Quick Hits
- Ohio State always makes sure to do its due diligence when it comes to in-state prospects, and there is no better evaluator and developer of talent than Brian Hartline. The Buckeyes are bringing those two factors together as they keep a close eye on 2026 wide receiver Seth Elchert. While Ohio State has not yet offered the 6-foot-3 pass-catcher, Hartline has invited the Liberty Benton product to camp at the school this summer on June 11. Elchert, who is also a varsity starter on both the baseball and basketball teams, caught 74 passes for over 1,000 yards and 12 TDs as a sophomore.
- Late last week, Ohio State extended an offer to 2026 running back Derrek Cooper. A teammate of OSU five-star freshman receiver Jeremiah Smith at Chaminade-Madonna Prep in Florida, Cooper ranks as the No. 7 ATH and No. 78 player nationally per the 247Sports Composite. The 6-foot-1 tailback is starting to see a real uptick in his recruitment, with Auburn, LSU, Miami and now Ohio State all offering since the start of March.
- An Ohio State defensive back target committed elsewhere over the weekend, with four-star corner Mark Zackery announcing his pledge to Notre Dame on Saturday. The Buckeyes had made the Indiana native’s top 10 back in January, but were outside his top four of Cincinnati, Florida, Michigan and Notre Dame heading into his decision. Zackery is the No. 15 CB and No. 135 overall player per the 247Sports Composite.
