Ryan Day Expects Rotation at Defensive Tackle As Confidence in Buckeyes' Depth Has Grown
Kayden McDonald, Eddrick Houston, Will Smith Jr., Tywone Malone Jr. and Jarquez Carter form a top five at defensive tackle that Ryan Day has faith in.
Ryan Day Expects Rotation at Defensive Tackle As Confidence in Buckeyes' Depth Has Grown
On Tuesday, Ryan Day spoke more confidently about Ohio State's defensive tackle situation than at any other point in the lead-up to the 2025 season.
The Buckeyes' DT depth has long been an emphasis for Day, a position group that got worked as hard as any other for the team during summer workouts. Kayden McDonald and Eddrick Houston have long been projected starters for Ohio State, but the biggest concern has been its depth pieces.
But Day expressed a newfound confidence heading into the Buckeyes' top-three showdown with No. 1 Texas, listing redshirt sophomore Will Smith Jr., redshirt senior Tywone Malone Jr. and freshman Jarquez Carter as defensive tackle options behind McDonald and Houston. He expects a rotation at the position.
"We're going to roll those guys pretty good," Day said. "I feel like we've developed some depth there. And I feel like we're going to feel good about putting different guys in the game. Between Eddrick and K-Mac and Will, Tywone Malone, even Jarquez, you're going to see guys kind of mix in and out of there."

The Hurry-Up: Nation's No. 1 RB Kemon Spell Will Be at Ohio State's Season Opener Against Texas, OSU Offers 2027 DL Joseph Buchanan
The nation's No. 1 running back, Kemon Spell, will be at Ohio Stadium for the Buckeyes' season opener against Texas and OSU offers 2027 DL Joseph Buchanan.
Five-star Pennsylvania running back Kemon Spell announced he’ll be at Ohio Stadium for the Buckeyes’ season opener against Texas on Saturday and also visit Tennessee, USC, Alabama, Notre Dame and Michigan this season.
Spell, a current Penn State commit, told On3’s Hayes Fawcett those six schools (including Ohio State) have the best chance of flipping him off his current commitment to the Nittany Lions.
Maybe it’s just me, but if you’re admitting that six schools reportedly have a chance of flipping you, it’s fair to wonder just how strong the original commitment is in the first place.

YouTube TV, FOX Reach Short-Term Extension to Avoid Ohio State vs. Texas Blackout
YouTube TV and FOX reached a short-term contract extension on Wednesday, ensuring that YouTube TV subscribers will be able to watch Ohio State vs. Texas on Saturday.
Login to view embedded media
YouTube TV had threatened to remove FOX and its affiliated networks from its service if it did not reach a new agreement by 5 p.m. Wednesday.
FOX has already been in the crosshairs of many Ohio State fans this offseason due to its insistence on airing the Buckeyes’ best games – including Saturday’s game against Texas and likely including Ohio State’s other marquee home game against Penn State – at noon. By striking a short-term contract extension with YouTube TV, FOX avoided giving Buckeye fans – and college football fans throughout the country – another reason to be upset with the network.
Just sayin': I like noon games......

Alford, Ohio State’s running backs coach for nine years before leaving for Michigan in 2024, expressed gratitude for the Buckeyes during his first press conference as an assistant for the Wolverines.Unless they get coached by you, and statistically get worse, and get riddled with injuries. Your game cover rb is really popping his stardom off in the NFL. But sure, you do you......
Michigan Running Backs Coach Tony Alford Takes Shot at Ohio State: “We’re Better”
Former Ohio State and current Michigan running backs coach Tony Alford takes a shot at the Buckeyes before the 2025 season kicks off: "We're better."www.elevenwarriors.com
“I have so much respect for Ohio State and the Ohio State community and what they presented to me and my family through the years. It was not an easy decision (to leave). Anytime you are somewhere for as long as I was — for nine years — there were some groups that had been set professionally and personally. That was difficult. But at the end of the day, it was something I thought I couldn’t pass up. It was an opportunity I couldn’t pass up.”
Since then, however, Alford has been unafraid to throw shade at his former employer. During a podcast appearance in June 2024, Alford said he was “as happy as I’ve been in a long time as far as my coaching profession.” Then, following Michigan’s win over Ohio State last season, Alford posted a picture of himself smiling while smoking a cigar. He captioned the photo, “GO BLUE!!!”

Just sayin': I really do think that Carlos Locklyn was an upgrade as the RB coach.
