RB Ja’Kobi Jackson (Official Thread)

Re: Ohio State is adding a seventh-year senior to its running back room. Jackson becomes the second seventh-year senior to join Ohio State’s 2026 roster along with Northwestern transfer tight end Hunter Welcing. The Buckeyes didn’t have any members of the 2020 recruiting class on their 2025 roster, but they will have two in 2026.

Just sayin': Definitely a "veteran"....:gagnam:
We shall see.....

Adding Hawkins is not just address the kicking position for next season, but for the next two or three seasons. They need someone whom they can rely on late in games. Hawkins might be that guy.

CB Cam Calhoun (Official Thread)

Re: On Thursday, the former Alabama, Utah and Michigan cornerback committed to Ohio State from the transfer portal, bolstering the Buckeyes' secondary with two years of eligibility remaining.

Re: He'll provide needed depth to Ohio State's cornerback room, however. Mathews, a senior, and sophomore Devin Sanchez project as the Buckeyes' starters on the outside with Florida State safety transfer Earl Little Jr. at nickel, but Ohio State is thin otherwise after some transfer portal attrition. An experienced hand to help in case of emergency, play dimeback in six-DB packages or even occasionally spell starters as Calhoun did for Alabama, is the type of support Ohio State needed to fill out its 2026 secondary.

Just sayin': Ohio State is his 4th school and he still has 2 years of eligibility left. He redshirted his one year at scUM.

2025-2026 Ohio State Men's Basketball

Apologize if this has been covered elsewhere, but.....is Noel out for year? Hadn't heard Tilly being injured as well. What about the 'big guy -next hope' that was expected back in January? Thanks for the catch-up...
Noel is not out for the year necessarily, he's in a walking boot due to a foot injury. Obviously they hope to get him back at some point this season, or they would have already had announced plans for surgery or that he's out for the season.

Tilly has a head injury, and Diebler said today that he's still being evaluated as far as playing this weekend vs. UCLA. The word is "hopeful" ... certainly Tilly should be back in action sooner or later.

There is no other big guy that was expected back in January, but you may be thinking of Baylor transfer Josh Ojianwuna, who they have not made any definitive statement on playing this season, they keep saying they are going to make a decision every month about what he's going to do & haven't come out with it, but you would assume since he's waited this long with no word on his return, he's not going to play this season.

RB Ja’Kobi Jackson (Official Thread)

Another Boom!

Had some pretty productive moments in 2024 for Florida before injuries hit in 2025. A nice veteran piece for the RB room.

Had 12 carries for 74 yards and a TD vs UGA and 19 carries for 116 yards and a TD vs Texas in 2024.
