2026 OH CB Elbert Hill (USC Verbal)

Yeah, I think fans need to lighten up and put themselves in these teenager's shoes for a second. A Program offering you more money than you've ever seen in your life, or a deal that is very good, but not as much to attend the school that you've always rooted for. If you take off the Scarlet colored glasses, that in itself is a VERY difficult decision to make. If say, Oregon or USC is offering $2mil over 3yrs but OSU is offering $800k for 3yrs, its no so cut and dry to just say that an OH kid should just go to OSU. Best of luck to Elbert at OSU or anywhere else, but when playing a game as violent as football, nothing is guaranteed like anything in life.
Agreed. There are so many players who bust or get derailed by injury. The risk is way too high to turn down an extra million or two.

Ohio State Football: The Brotherhood

Really does seem the culture is very strong in the program. Sometimes I get a little uncomfortable with the seriously religious direction the program is going (not trying to criticize religion, I'm Catholic, but I used to make fun of Dabo when they were like having baptisms on campus etc, that kind of stuff is a little much to me.)

Look Who's Transferring Now (The Portal)


On Monday, North Carolina transfer Beau Atkinson is in Columbus for his official visit with the Buckeyes and it sure looks like things have been going fantastic for him on campus. Things are going so well, both Steve Wiltfong and Pete Nakos have put in their official predictions for Day to land him. Normally, this means a commitment is coming sooner rather than later:

Ohio State is on the verge of landing UNC pass-rusher Beau Atkinson

This is going to be tremendous news for Day and Ohio State, but a big negative for Kirby Smart and Georgia. Atkinson was set to visit Athens later this week to meet with the Bulldogs, but now that he's potentially set on committing to the Buckeyes, it's safe to assume that visit won't take place.

Earlier this month, Atkinson surprised a lot of people when he announced he was entering the portal. The Buckeyes didn't waste much time in making a move to go after him. Last campaign for UNC, before Bill Belichick arrived of course, the playmaker posted 7.5 sacks. He was no question a leader on defense for the Tar Heels and he was expected to be a key difference-maker in 2025.

Instead, he decided he wanted to play elsewhere and when Ohio State comes calling, it's tough to turn the program down. The pieces are in place for the Buckeyes to push for another title next winter. The Atkinson commitment isn't locked in just yet, but all signs seem to indicate he'll be making the move to play for Day soon enough.
