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 52 days remaining.

Play of the Day: TreVeyon Henderson’s 52-yard TD vs. Tulsa (2021)​

It's Henderson's and we're just living in it.

Sure, this run came against Tulsa, but it was a special moment for TreVeyon Henderson as it broke the single-game freshman rushing record set by Archie Griffin in 1972. Henderson’s 277 yards and three touchdowns now stands atop the heap among Buckeye first-years, and Ohio State needed the record-breaking performance from Tre in this one in a sleepy 41-20 win over the Golden Hurricane. The 185 yards passing for C.J. Stroud was by far the lowest of his 2021 campaign, and the OSU defense allowed Davis Brin to throw for over 400 yards.

Players to Wear the #52 (since 2010): ​

  • Johnathan Hankins (2010-12)
  • Donovan Munger (2014-15)
  • Noah Donald (2016)
  • Wyatt Davis (2017-20)
  • Dante Booker (2017-18)
  • Antwuan Jackson (2018-21)
  • Joshua Mickens (present)

This week, Josh and Chuck recap a busy week in Ohio State football recruiting before pivoting to take a look at the Buckeyes’ 2023 opponents.

The latest episode of Land-Grant Holy Land’s flagship podcast is here! Join LGHL’s Josh Dooley and Chuck Holmes as they cover Ohio State football, basketball, recruiting, and much, much more! Come for the hot takes, stay for the warm ones.

On this episode of Hangout in the Holy Land, Josh and Chuck kick things off by discussing recent developments in the world of Ohio State football recruiting. From a five-star surprise to a (Hurri)Canes caper, the Hangout boys have you covered. And they both agree that while OSU is currently hot on the trail, Ryan Day and company must maintain momentum through the end of this 2024 recruiting cycle.

The hosts then catch you up on recent contracts signed by former Buckeye hoopers. D’Angelo Russell stays in LA, Keita Bates-Diop will head to the desert, and E.J. Liddell finally gets rewarded!

And it would not be a summer episode without at least some theme-week-related conversation. LGHL’s theme this week is Behind Enemy Lines, meaning the guys get a chance to break down Ohio State’s 2023 opponents. What better way to do so than by looking at potential Big Ten sleepers?

Plus, a few questions sent in by you, the listener(s).

Make sure to like, rate, review, and subscribe to the podcast! And as always, Go Bucks!

LGHL Buckeyes finalists for top-50 offensive tackle, Ohio State still recruiting recent Miami commit

Buckeyes finalists for top-50 offensive tackle, Ohio State still recruiting recent Miami commit

And all of the vibes are bad around Aaron Scott right now.

College football is in the middle of a quiet period until the last few days of the month, but that doesn’t mean that there’s no news to discuss during July. While it has been almost a full week since Ohio State got its last commitment, there is certainly more to discuss until the next BOOM comes.

Top-50 Prospect Guerby Lambert Likely to Announce Mid-August​


I don’t know about you, but I like the prospects that are so under the radar that when they announce their final schools and commitment date, I have to look up who they are. That is even more exciting when Ohio State is one of the player’s finalists and he is the No. 47 player in the country and the No. 2 offensive tackle in his class.

That is the case with West Roxbury, Mass. native Guerby Lambert. On Tuesday, the Catholic Memorial rising senior confirmed to 247Sports that he had narrowed down his finalists list to the Buckeyes, Notre Dame, Boston College, and... Harvard. Yes, that Harvard; the Stansbury of the East.

No one has logged any crystal balls for the 6-foot-6, 280-pound four-star prospect thus far, but the Buckeyes certainly seem to be the one school that doesn’t belong here. BC is just five minutes from his high school, he has a high school teammate that just committed to Harvard, and Notre Dame is a small Catholic institution like his high school.

While no date has officially been set, Lambert told 247’s Brian Dohn that he plans to commit prior to the start of his high school season, most likely in “mid-August.” Practically no one has any concrete insight into Lambert’s thinking at this point, but the general consensus is that Ohio State is a longshot here. But seeing as he talks to practically nobody, your bet is as good as mine as to where he will end up.

Larry Johnson Keeping in Contact with Marquise Lightfoot​


If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again. Buckeye Nation was at least a somewhat surprised last week as four-stare defensive lineman Marquise Lightfoot committed to the Miami Hurricanes, despite the general consensus throughout his recruitment (until the final few days) having been that he would be a Buckeye.

Even though Lightfoot pledged to play for the Canes, his would-be Ohio State position coach Larry Johnson has continued to keep in touch. Lightfoot is the No. 62 player in the country according to the 247Sports Composite Ratings and the No. 5 edge rusher, so the Buckeyes don’t plan on throwing in the towel on the prospect any time soon. According to Bucknuts’ Bill Kurelic, Lightfoot said that he appreciates the fact that Johnson isn’t giving up on him.

“He told me he’s going to recruit me all the way till I sign with them,” the prospect said. “I told him I was honored, it made me feel good that he wants me so much.”

Quick Hits:​

  • The Buckeyes have only two commits to their 2025 class, but one of them is already making plans to be on campus during the upcoming fall campaign. Having committed nearly a year ago, five-star safety Jontae Gilbert will be making at least one trip to Columbus to take in a game this fall. The No. 24 player in his cycle will visit from his home in Atlanta on Sept. 16 for the matchup against Western Kentucky and might be back in town on Oct. 21 to see the Buckeyes take on Penn State according to Eleven Warriors.
  • All of the vibes around the Aaron Scott recruitment are bad at this point (at least from an Ohio State perspective). The Springfield, Ohio native recently tweeted that he wants to “shock da world,” adding even more smoke to the nearly suffocating amount coming from Ann Arbor in recent weeks. The pain got even worse on Monday as the No. 52 player in the 2024 recruiting cycle wore Michigan gloves and cleats at a 7-on-7 event on Tuesday, making it feel like the scales are tipping even more in TTUN’s favor.

However, Scott has always been a player that has seemingly enjoyed the recruitment process, so this could all be a bit of a troll job ahead of his July 30 commitment, but short of that, no one in Buckeye Nation should feel confident at this point.
