In 1990 ish... I was in Florida with my Old man for some other stuff and there happened to be a Shuttle launch at night, so we asked around for a good place to part and watch it, I mean, obviously you don't need to be super close. Anyway it was super cool as there was this thin cloud layer, so the thing lit up and looked like the freaking sun was rising and it was almost daylight (lets say I was 5 miles away, I don't know why that distance sticks in my head, but I guess it gives a sense of the scale) and then it went through the clouds, and it turned dark again but the sky turned red... pretty cool experience.

James Laurinaitis is raving about a rising Ohio State football defender that looks to be climbing the depth chart​

A former high profile recruit looks like he could be trending toward a breakout season with Ohio State. Buckeyes linebackers coach James Laurinaitis revealed strong progress for the defender.

The Ohio State Buckeyes are set to potentially have double-digit players drafted once again in the 2026 NFL Draft later this month. With that being said, the Buckeyes will have new faces stepping into bigger roles, and they’ll reload in Columbus in typical fashion.

One former high-profile linebacker recruit looks like he could be stepping into an important role for the first time. Ohio State will wrap up spring ball in a couple of weeks and one second-year defender looks poised to leap.

James Laurinaitis singles out TJ Alford as a rising player on the Ohio State defense ​

“TJ has grown so much from last season,” Laurinaitis told the media on Thursday. “He got so much better from fall camp to when we were in the postseason. There’s been a maturity, I think TJ learned a lot about himself through that season. There’s been a maturity in the offseason. There’s been a seriousness of trying to find a way to get on the field and have a role, which is a phenomenal job.

“He had a really strong start to this spring, so I expect to see a lot of football out of TJ Alford come this fall if everything keeps projecting, you know, trending the way it’s gone. He takes coaching, and he works at it. And it is hard without showing you, like, side-by-side clips of some of our stuff, but it’s gotten so much better. And the future is just really bright for TJ.”

Really excited to hear this for TJ and our defense. With some good weight on the frame (the only thing that held me back from saying he would play right away here) and a better understanding of the defense, he could be a candidate for big newcomer impact on defense.

OL Sam Greer (Official Thread)

calibuck
Gotta happen. This year's OL is top heavy with upperclassmen. Ergo, much talent and experience walking out the door at the end of this season. Sooo, need to get some of the young 'uns ready to step up next year. Or get more than several snaps in garbage time. OL unique in that much is made of 'cohesion' - which to my way of thinking, is like basketball, in switching one's man when unexpected twists, switches happen in front of you. Personally, I'd be watching my own opponent, and probably whiffing on what else is going on around me. Cannot do that, gotta have one eye on opponent, one eye on the opponent to the left of me, and the third eye on the opponent to my right. That sort of behavior is needed to be successful on the OL. Anyway, nothing novel, but real time experience is needed with various players. I'd like to see a report on OL play during the spring practices outsiders (ie press) are allow to see. Especially the write-up including how our current and future stars are looking......anyway, thanks in advance.
