Xavier Johnson does a little bit of everything, on and off the field, for Ohio State

After earning playing time on offense with his play on special teams, Xavier Johnson had a couple big touchdowns in Ohio State’s most important games.
Every day from now until the start of the season, Land-Grant Holy Land is highlighting Ohio State football players that you should be watching this season. Check out all of our ”Player to Watch” articles to get ready for the season opener against Indiana.
It has been quite a journey for Xavier Johnson since arriving at Ohio State in 2018. The three-star recruit from Summit Country Day High School in Cincinnati had a number of scholarship offers from Cincinnati, Ohio, and a number of other schools. Instead, Johnson decided to pass on those full rides to make the journey a couple of hours up I-71 and become a member of the Buckeyes as a walk-on.
Johnson’s goal when coming to Ohio State was to help the team in any way he can. Whether it be in games, practice, or even just by setting a good example for his teammates, Johnson was willing to do whatever was necessary to help the Buckeyes win. Eventually, Johnson found his way onto the field as a member of the special teams unit, and his hard work over the years earned him more playing time on offense. From 2019 to 2022, Johnson played in 44 games. Over the last two years, Johnson was a key member of the special teams unit, recording 485 snaps during that span.
While Johnson was a trusted member of the special teams unit, last year’s season opener is when he made a big impact on offense. Not only was Ohio State trailing Notre Dame 10-7 in the third quarter, but the Buckeyes were missing wide receivers Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Julian Fleming. With just under a minute left in the quarter, Johnson caught a 24-yard touchdown pass from C.J. Stroud to give Ohio State a 14-10 lead. The touchdown would end up being the game-winning score, as the Buckeyes would go on to beat the Fighting Irish 21-10 in Columbus.
Another big performance for Johnson came in the blowout win over Indiana in November. Ohio State was thin at running back with TreVeyon Henderson sidelined with a foot injury. Things got even worse for the Buckeyes when Miyan Williams was injured late in the first half. Not only would Johnson catch a couple of passes for 47 yards, he broke a 71-yard run early in the fourth quarter to put Ohio State up 49-7 on the Hoosiers. The rush would be the longest of the season by a Buckeye.
Much like the season opener, Johnson left his mark on Ohio State’s final game of the season. With just under a minute to go before halftime, Johnson caught a pass and made a nifty 360 spin to score a 37-yard touchdown to give the Buckeyes a 28-24 lead over Georgia. Unfortunately, the score didn’t end up resulting in a win for Ohio State, as the Bulldogs rallied to edge Ryan Day’s team 42-41 in Atlanta on New Year’s Eve. Johnson finished the game with three catches for 43 yards and the score, and he rushed the football six times for 28 yards.
Even though Johnson didn’t attract as much attention coming out of high school as most of his teammates, he has everything a coach would want from a player. Not only is Johnson an incredible teammate, he is willing to play any position on the field. While Johnson is known for his work at receiver, running back, and special teams, he has even played at cornerback in the past for Ohio State.
The high regard Johnson is held in by his teammates and coaches became even more evident recently when it was announced he was not only voted a team captain, he would be the 2023 recipient of the Block “O” jersey. Johnson is the fourth Buckeye to be given the Block “O” jersey. Jonathon Cooper was the first Buckeye to be awarded the Block “O” jersey in 2020 and was followed by Thayer Munford in 2021 and Kamryn Babb last season. The Block “O” jersey honors former Buckeye Bill Hicks, who went on to break the color barrier in the NFL. The Block “0” jersey is given annually to a Buckeye that embodies Willis’ toughness, accountability, and the highest of character.

Ohio State enters season opener as 30-point favorites vs. Indiana

The Buckeyes are massive favorites on the road in the opener against the Hoosiers.
We are now officially less than a week away from Ohio State kicking off its 2023 campaign, when the Buckeyes open up their season in Bloomington, Indiana on Sept. 2 against the Hoosiers. Despite some remaining questions surrounding Ryan Day’s group, including the obvious ongoing starting quarterback battle, the Vegas oddsmakers feel pretty good about Ohio State’s chances in Week 1 — or, at the very least, they are not very high on Indiana — as the Buckeyes currently stand as more than four-touchdown favorites in the upcoming contest.
All lines courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook.
While we still dont know who will be getting the nod at QB — and there's a good chance at this point that both guys get some playing time — whoever it is between Kyle McCord or Devin Brown will have the opportunity to throw passes to college football’s No. 1 pass-catcher, Marvin Harrison Jr., in addition to Emeka Egbuka and a treasure trove of other former four and five-star prospects. A now-healthy running back room features TreVeyon Henderson, Miyan Williams and a handful of other contributors who can be called upon when needed. The offensive line has some questions, but it’s hard to not have trust in this Ohio State offense to put up points.
Defensively, the Buckeyes should be improved across the board, with key additions in the secondary among the likes of Ja’Had Carter and Davison Igbinosun as well as returning starters Denzel Burke and Lathan Ransom and new starting safety Sonny Styles. Both starting linebackers return in Tommy Eichenberg and Steele Chambers, while J.T. Tuimoloau and Jack Sawyer look to anchor the defensive line, with Sawyer now back playing his natural position as a true edge rusher. Mike Hall Jr. and Tyleik Williams are your anchors up the middle, and there is reason for a ton of excitement about this defensive unit as a whole.
For the second time in three seasons, Ohio State will open up play against a Big Ten opponent, with Indiana on the docket this year after starting the 2021 campaign against Minnesota — both on the road. The Hoosiers enter the new campaign having won just two conference games in the last two seasons combined, finishing just 4-8 overall in 2022.
Indiana won’t publicly announce who won the starting job at quarterback this season, so the Buckeyes will have to prepare for both Tennessee transfer Tayven Jackson and redshirt freshman Brendan Sorsby. Whoever is throwing the rock, they will be happy to have wide receiver Cam Camper back following a torn ACL last October. Despite playing in just seven games last season, Camper still led the Hoosiers with 569 receiving yards and two TDs. The Hoosiers are hoping that hiring former Wisconsin offensive line coach Bob Bostad will help improve a group that finished second-to-last in the B1G in rushing, as well as eighth in passing.
Defensively, leading tackler Aaron Casey is back as the most productive player from a unit that ranked dead last in the Big Ten a year ago in both scoring defense and yards allowed. However, they did lose perhaps the group’s most talented player in linebacker Dasan McCullough, who transferred to Oklahoma. Indiana brought in second-team All-MAC defensive lineman Andre Carter to bolster a group that has had a tough time getting to the QB lately, recording just 37 total sacks over the last two seasons. In the secondary, Noah Pierre returns at the hybrid ‘Husky’ position having forced a team-high three fumbles last year.
Head coach Tom Allen received a ton of praise for the work he did making it to back-to-back bowl games from 2019-20, but that success is looking more and more like a mirage after Indiana has gone 6-18 over the past two seasons. The Hoosiers have some talent this year at the offensive skill positions, but the offensive line is still a big question mark. Defensively, Indiana is a long ways from the turnover-inducing, high-pressure units that brought them success during the height of Allen’s tenure.
You can never overlook a conference opponent, but Ohio State shouldn’t have too much trouble getting its season off to a 1-0 start.

On today’s episode, I am in conversation with one of ESPN’s most recognizable college and pro football voices, Laura Rutledge. Not only is she the host of the SEC Network’s “SEC Nation,” but she is also the host of any pro football fan’s go-to weekday show, “NFL Live.”
We are chatting to her today in her role as a spokesperson for The Honey Baked Ham Company, so there is a bit of tailgating and ham conversation, but otherwise, I pick her brain about a couple of the best recent Buckeyes to head to the NFL and what their 2023 seasons look like, how the new quarterbacks in Athens, Tuscaloosa, and Columbus will impact their teams, and the fact that I now live in the same quant little town in Florida where she went to high school. It’s a small world after all.

Ohio State Football Countdown: 6

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 6 days remaining.
Man, it was fun to watch Justin Fields play football in Columbus. Here he was in 2019 as part of a 76-5 blowout for the Buckeyes scoring six touchdowns in one quarter — four passing and two rushing. Three different QBs threw TD passes in this one for Ohio State, with both Chris Chugunov and Gunner Hoak getting in on the action as well. Steele Chambers, now a starting linebacker, led all rushers with 63 yards and a TD, while five different wide receivers caught a TD pass, including two by Chris Olave. On the other side of the ball, the Buckeye defense forced three turnovers and held the Redhawks to just 130 yards of total offense.

TreVeyon Henderson scores a late touchdown to put away Penn State last season. Holding a precarious 30-24 lead, the Ohio State running back walks it in for his second TD of the game to put the Buckeyes up two scores. J.T. Tuimoloau would follow that up with a pick-six as part of an insane afternoon for the defensive end as Ohio State escaped Happy Valley with a 44-31 win over the Nittany Lions. The Buckeyes scored 28 of their 44 points in the fourth quarter after trailing 21-16 to start the final frame.

If it helps, we’ll give you the betting lines to make today more interesting.
Friends, we did it. College football is back and even if it is not better than ever just yet, there is still a full Saturday of football to be watched, and I couldn’t be happier about that. Of course, this is Week 0 and “zero” might be how many compelling games we get today. However, these are actual, honest-to-goodness, real-life regular-season games, and after wandering blind in the college football wilderness for nearly eight months, it’s okay for us to revel in what the CFB gods have bestowed upon us.
Of course, if you need a little extra juice to get you amped up for these admittedly mediocre games, our friends at DraftKings Sportsbook can help you get a little action going to liven up your Week 0 viewing plans. So, take a look at the schedule below and see what the best way to watch each game is, and then put some money on Hawaii to cover against Vandy just for funsies.
Date: Saturday, Aug. 26
Time: Starting at 12:30 p.m. ET
TV: NBC (Peacock), CBS Sports Network, FS1, ESPN, SEC Network, Pac-12 Network
Odds/lines subject to change. T&Cs apply. See draftkings.com/sportsbook for details.
