Do you root for the teams that draft Buckeyes, or just the players themselves?

This is a difficult question to answer when your NFL rival selects a player from your favorite college team.
Over the weekend, Ohio State had a dominant showing at the NFL Draft, as 14 Buckeyes heard their names called. The OSU haul tied the 2020 LSU and the 2004 Ohio State draft classes for the second most in a single draft, behind 2022 Georgia’s 2022. But with over a dozen beloved former Buckeyes matriculating into the NFL, it does raise some questions for Ohio State fans in terms of loyalty.
What happens when a Buckeye is selected by the rival of your favorite NFL team? Do you only root for the player, or does your hatred for the franchise soften a little bit? Personally, I watch NFL RedZone every weekend and catch all of the primetime games, but I wouldn’t say that I follow the NFL particularly closely, and I don’t have a team that I root for (I turned in my Cincinnati Bengals fandom card back in the early Marvin Lewis days).
So, for me, how I approach Buckeyes in the league is simple: I want them all to do well, and if that means their teams win, great. I have no hangups about whether they play for the Pittsburgh Steelers, Kansas City Chiefs, or any other team.
However, there are many college football fans who apparently feel differently, because in a recent SB Nation Reacts survey (sponsored by the fine folks at FanDuel), 44% of respondents say that they will cheer for players from their favorite college team, but don’t actually want them to win. And, look, I get it.
Loyalty and rooting interests run deep, so by rooting for the individual success of players from your favorite college team, you are showing loyalty to them and their college program. But, by not actively rooting for them to win, you are remaining loyal to your NFL team of choice. It can be a tough needle to thread, but fandom is about emotion, not logic, so feel free to do it the way that works best for you.

With the Steelers selecting two incredibly popular Buckeyes, Jack Sawyer and Will Howard, there are probably a lot of Bengals and Cleveland Browns fans out there who are conflicted about how to feel about Mike Tomlin’s squad.
However, regardless of how you feel about the Steelers (or any other team that drafted Buckeyes), the fact that there are more than 14 new Buckeyes in the NFL (counting players like Seth McLaughlin and Gee Scott Jr., who signed as undrafted free agents) can only be considered a good thing. So, root for them in whatever way works for your fandom, just make sure that you are rooting for them.

Find out how tennis fared in the Big Ten tournament, see what records softball is breaking and more.
As the 2025 spring sports season winds down, Ohio State’s spring sports teams are still heating up, with record-breaking performances, Big Ten titles, and NCAA Tournament announcements. Here are all the updates you need to stay in the loop on Buckeye spring sports.
The No. 9 Ohio State women’s tennis team won its fourth Big Ten Tournament title this weekend, defeating No. 3 Michigan, 4-3, in a battle that lasted more than three and a half hours and came down to a third set on court 4.
It is the Buckeyes’ fifth consecutive Big Ten Tournament finals appearance — all against Michigan — though OSU last won in 2021.
The Wolverines took the doubles point, but OSU responded quickly with singles wins from No. 10 Luciana Perry and No. 30 Teah Chavez, giving OSU a 2-1 lead. Shelly Bereznyak and Audrey Spencer then dropped their singles matches in hard-fought battles, giving the Wolverines a one-point lead.
A singles win from Sydni Ratliff, who was selected the B1G Tournament’s Most Outstanding Player, evened the score for the Buckeyes. The title ultimately came down to the results of a face-off between two freshmen, with Nao Nishino representing Ohio State and ultimately securing the victory in three heart-stopping sets.
In addition to the title and Ratliff’s honors, Ratliff and Perry were both named to the 2025 Big Ten All-Tournament Team.
Their tournament win earned the Buckeyes an automatic berth to the NCAA Tournament, and they were selected as a No. 4 seed, with the first and second rounds scheduled for this upcoming weekend, May 2-4. The Top 16 seeds serve as host sites, and OSU will host Buffalo, UIC, and Notre Dame.
OSU’s first match will take place against Buffalo, the MAC champion, while UIC and Notre Dame will square off first. The winner of the Columbus site then advances to a single-elimination super regional.
With a final round score of 296, Ohio State’s men’s golf team finished fifth in the Big Ten Championships for the second consecutive year. While the team posted scores of 282 and 279 in the previous two rounds, Sunday’s final round was a tough day for scoring, and across the board, scores averaged about four shots higher than the previous rounds.
The Buckeyes were led by Tyler Sabo, whose final-round score of 72, which included four birdies, was good for seventh place.
OSU will find out Wednesday whether their season will continue at the NCAA Men’s Golf Championship, with the selection show scheduled for April 30, at 1 p.m. ET, airing live on the Golf Channel. The Championship will be held May 23-28 in Carlsbad, California.
The Buckeyes finished their home schedule with a record-breaking weekend and a series sweep of Purdue (26-20), improving to 41-10-1 on the year and finishing with a home record of 19-3.
The sweep marked nine consecutive victories for the Buckeyes, and in the process, they broke the Big Ten record for most home runs in a season. OSU currently has 130 with several games left to play. Contributing to that total were Morgan Frye, Hadley Parisien, Taylor Cruse, and Kami Kortokrax. Frye scored two home runs in Game 2 of the series, while Parisien and Cruse each had a homer in Game 2 and again in Game 3.
The Buckeyes will aim to continue their win streak and add to their home run totals this upcoming weekend as they close out their regular season on the road at Illinois (21-25) in a three-game series.
Track & Field competed at both the Drake Relays and the Jim Freeman/Clark Wood Open, hosted by the University of Louisville, this weekend, and finished with three wins and four PRs across both meets.
At the Drake Relays, the Buckeyes took the top spot for the women’s 4x100m relay, thanks to the efforts of Leah Bertrand, Fatouma Conde, Bobbi Olive, and Olivia Powel,l who earned a time of 43.91 seconds. Sophie Fong also won the women’s pole vault with a clearance of 4.07m/13’4.25”.
In Louisville, the Buckeyes earned another win, this time in men’s discu,s thanks to Tanner Watson’s throw of 57.35m/188’2”.
OSU also earned top 3 track finishes in men’s 100m (Nazzio John, 10.54 seconds for second place), men’s 110m hurdles (Braxton Brann, 13.92 seconds for fourth place), and the men’s 4x400m relay (Brann, Nick Biega, Marcus Brown and Noah Carmichael finished third with a time of 3:05.82).
In field events at the Drake Relays, the Buckeyes finished third in men’s pole vault (Daniel Edwards, 4.87m/15’11.75” clearance), second in men’s long jump (DJ Fillmore, 7.38m/24’2.5”), and second in women’s long jump (Sydnee Burr, 5.99m/19’8”). In Louisville, Morgan Hallett finished fourth in women’s discus with a throw of 48.32m/158’6”, while Lacey Stringer was the runner-up in women’s hammer throw with a season-best throw of 59.43m / 194’11” and placed third in women’s shot put, throwing 15.84m/51’11.75”. Sophie Bidwell, who set two PRs this weekend (in hammer throw and discus), placed third in hammer throw with her new personal-best distance of 56.03m/183’10”.
Up next, the Buckeyes will host the Jesse Owens Memorial Classic next Friday, May 2 and Saturday, May 3.
Despite a heartbreaking 4-3 loss to UCLA in the Big Ten Tournament final, the regular season Big Ten Champion Buckeyes earned a No. 5 seed in the NCAA Tournament and will host matches during the first two rounds. They will open the tournament against Buffalo Saturday morning, while Auburn and Belmont will also head to Columbus.
The winners of each of those matches will then meet on Sunday in the second round.

A look at where all of the former Buckeyes are headed for Sunday ball, a rewind of the Ohio State Spring Game, transfer portal additions, and more.
Spring ball is in the books and now we’re in that long, dark teatime of the offseason when news is something you’d rather just not hear.
For this episode, we looked at Ohio State dominating the 2025 NFL Draft. We looked at where the 14 selected former Buckeyes were picked (tying a school record) and wonder why there wasn’t a 15th player — a consensus All-American and winner of a major individual award, no less — taken to give the school a share of the all-time draft record.
We also walked through the draft spots of a couple of ex-Buckeyes who transferred to other schools and discussed the landing spots for some OSU undrafted free agents.
With the spring practices coming to an end, we’ve probably seen our final black helmet stripe removal until preseason camp starts. We look back at the most recent players to lose their helmet stripes. We also touch on a couple of important transfer portal arrivals, as well as Ohio State’s trip to the White House, where the vice president tried to mangle the national championship trophy and the foot of TreVeyon Henderson.
Finally, we looked back at the 2025 Ohio State Spring Game. Lots of players stood out during this year’s event, especially the running backs. Bo Jackson and C.J. McDonald looked especially good, and the quarterbacks performed well as a group. It may not have seemed like it, but there were some defensive standouts as well.
We are in our monthly offseason schedule, but we could have more than one show a month depending on how much news there is. We will return to our weekly schedule in August, as camp opens and we get you ready for the 2025 Ohio State football season.
We would love to hear from you, so please reach out with your feedback and questions below in the comments section or send us an email. Any questions directed toward us will be answered on our next show.

The Buckeyes also offered two blue-chip prospects in the 2027 recruiting class.
With spring practices over for the Ohio State football team, a focus will be put back on recruiting. The Buckeyes is off to a hot start already in the 2026 recruiting class, and this past weekend will only help the team close out the class.
Ohio State saw an enormous 14 players selected in the 2025 NFL Draft and multiple former Buckeyes have been signed to teams as undrafted free agents. This is proof of Ohio State’s ability to recognize and develop talent at the college football level, and is a huge recruiting tool for the Buckeyes moving forward.
It is not a coincidence that Ohio State made the recruiting headlines Monday, including when one of its top defensive line targets in the class include the Buckeyes in his top schools and announce a commitment date.
Four-star defensive lineman Preston Carey (Bradenton, FL / IMG Academy) announced a commitment date of June 30 and included Ohio State in his top seven schools alongside Georgia, Auburn, Florida, Rutgers, Alabama and USC.
Carey has visited with Ohio State already on numerous occasions and an official visit is scheduled with the Buckeyes for May 30. He will also take official visits with all of his finalists with USC receiving the final one.
Ohio State has long been recruiting Carey, offering him back in early 2023 and since the offer the Buckeyes and defensive line coach Larry Johnson have remained in frequent contact with him. None of his finalists have seemingly separated themselves from the pack but we will likely learn more following his visits. He is scheduled to commit just weeks following them wrapping up.
Carey is the No. 31 DL recruit in the 247Sports Composite Rankings and is the No. 278 overall recruit. He is also the No. 45 recruit out of the talent-rich state of Florida.
Ryan Day and the Ohio State football team are also actively recruiting next year’s recruiting class as well. This is the benefit of getting off to a hot start in this year’s cycle. The Buckeyes have two verbal commitments in the 2027 class already with four-star athlete Jamier Brown, the No. 1 recruit from Ohio, and four-star quarterback Brady Edmunds.
The Buckeyes will continue to add to this class and put in work Monday in efforts to do so by dishing out a couple of scholarship offers. The first offer was to four-star offensive tackle Oluwasemilore Olubobola (Jersey City, NJ / St. Peter’s Prep). Offensive tackle is a position the Buckeyes are making a priority in next year’s class as Olubobola makes the seventh recruit offered by the Buckeyes at the position.
Olubobola is the No. 11 OT in the 247Sports Composite Rankings and is the No. 105 overall recruit. He is also the No. 2 recruit out of New Jersey.
The next recruit to announce they had received an official scholarship offer from Ohio State was four-star OT Sidney Rouleau (Pennington, NJ / The Pennington School). Like Olubobola, Rouleau is another New Jersey OT and he makes now eight total recruits offered as the position.
Rouleau is the No. 22 OT in the 247Sports Composite Rankings and he is the No. 212 overall recruit. He is also the No. 5 recruit in New Jersey.
