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"....

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.

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.

I noticed DePaul on the list of schools involved with point shaving. There is at least one person saying this happened before Holtmann became their coach, but DePaul stands out on that list to me as the only power conference program with point shaving.

ESPN: John Harbaugh and the New York Giants are finalizing an agreement to make him their next head coach, and barring any setbacks, a deal is expected, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Wednesday night.

Just sayin':
The Giants have always been my favorite NFL team.....

Is he able to get a yard when we need one? Some guys just have that. I felt good with Q and kinda-sorta ok with CJ. If he’s not that guy, we need another transfer or for West to step up. For all of BJ’s upside, I don’t see him as that guy.

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...

Click to expand...

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.

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.

His issue in college was that he didn't seem to see the field very well and took too long to pull the trigger. It didn't matter as much in college because he had better protection and weapons that were able to get open. That issue didn't improve in the NFL.

Yep it was a noticable issue with him after Haskins. Cause Haskins got the ball out quick but Justin threw a better ball. Stroud was a combination of the 2 which is why he's done the best in the pros
