2026 Season Preview: Final Projection of Ohio State’s Depth Chart, Offense and Special Teams
It's all speculation by 11W; however, the big surprise to me is Legend Bey. Apparently he took the suspension well, worked his ass off, got out of the coaches' proverbial "doghouse", and could have passed a real solid transfer RB on the depth chart.
Running Back
1. Bo Jackson
2. Isaiah West
3. Legend Bey
4. Ja’Kobi Jackson
Kickoff Returner
1. Legend Bey
2. Brandon Inniss
3. Kyle Parker
There’s been no real indication of who will return kicks for Ohio State this season, so I’m choosing to buy stock in Bey again. Assuming he is what everyone’s saying he is, his explosiveness and agility make him a natural choice to return kicks and could make him the top big-play threat the Buckeyes have had on kickoff returns since Ted Ginn Jr.
It's funny how different our team looks compared to teams like TCU/UNC, physically. There are a whole lot of "skinny " players for them that you don't see in Columbus
With Luke pushing Tavien that’s not exactly comforting for the back up spot. Julian was ranked in the late 80s lately by someone for next years draft.
If that’s the case, give me another year of Julian and have Luke as the backup next year. Would prefer that over a late round pick for Julian and a Tavien St. Claire that’s not ready
Given how the 'local boy' narrative was pushed for Kenny Pickett, on top of the Marino curse - I'm positive we'll deal with a lot of that come 2027 draft re: Dante.
Really hoped Thurman would stay and blow up his last two years. He had improved, but couldn’t beat out Klare or Kacmarek for significant snaps. I imagine Roberts beating him out for time was the final nail in the coffin.
