Silver Bullets Podcast: Noon kickoffs and quarterbacks

Noon kickoffs don’t need a legislative ban, and Ohio State’s new quarterback has a great name.
We’ve got fewer than 100 days until brand new Buckeye football becomes available, but there’s plenty to talk about as the offseason drags on.
For starters, we open this episode with discussion of Ohio State trying to move the opener against Texas to prime time on Sunday, Aug. 31. The Longhorns said no, and we support that decision, as we are college football purists (and old guys who are set in our ways) who think college football should be played on Saturdays — except for MACtion.
Aside from the date of the Texas game, we address the subject of noon kickoffs, which are OK, but admittedly there must be a lot more variety to keep the playing field level from a recruting standpoint. Ohio State prospects in Texas, California, Georgia, Florida, or elsewhere have to be able to play their games on Friday nights and have time to physically fly to Columbus for their visits on game days.
The one thing nobody needs is a grandstanding population wasting everyone’s time by trying to legislate away a television contract the universities signed up for in exchange for a lot of money.
The Buckeyes have a new quarterback with an excellent name in transfer Eli Brickhandler. We don’t expect him to play a lot, if at all, but we’re here for the name and we hope he can at least get some snaps late in blowout games.
Speaking of quarterbacks, Ryan Day says the competition is close, and we have no reason to doubt him, but we saw what we saw, and we still think Julian Sayin has the advantage entering preseason camp.
Changes are coming to the seeding in the College Football Playoff. It may be a bit premature after one iteration of the 12-team playoff to start making changes, but it is what it is.
Finally, we wish a speedy and complete recovery to Julian Fleming, who sustained severe injuries in an ATV crash and offer our deepest condolences to Julian for the loss of his girlfriend in the accident.
We are in our monthly offseason schedule, but we could have more than one show a month depending on how much news there is. We will return to our weekly schedule in August, as camp opens and we get you ready for the 2025 Ohio State football season.
We would love to hear from you, so please reach out with your feedback and questions below in the comments section or send us an email. Any questions directed toward us will be answered on our next show.

0:20 — Texas denies Ohio State’s bid to move the game to Sunday, Aug. 31; noon kickoffs; and stupid legislation to stop noon kickoffs.
15:25 — Eli Brickhandler brings his excellent name to the OSU quarterbacks room and the quarterback battle isn’t over according to Ryan Day.
31:50 — There’s a change coming to the seeding formula in the College Football Playoff and we extend our deepest sympathies and well wishes to former OSU receiver Julian Fleming.

Five-star Oregon edge commit schedules Ohio State official visit

2026 five-star edge Richard Wesley | via @Richard23Wesley on X
Ohio State was also named a top school for a 2026 four-star OT.
While the Ohio State coaches and players were spending time with family and loved ones on Memorial Day, the Buckeyes also found themselves in the middle of the college football recruiting headlines.
June is just around the corner and with June will be spring practices. These practices will be crucial as the team prepares to follow-up a championship run in the newly-expanded College Football Playoffs.
Summer practices will also be important when it comes to recruiting. The Buckeyes will be playing host to what feels like most of the nation’s top recruits in the coming months on both official and unofficial recruiting visits. On Monday, the Buckeyes learned of another blue-chip prospect that will be making the trip to Columbus this summer.
2026 five-star defensive edge Richard Wesley (Chatsworth, CA / Sierra Canyon) announced that he will be taking his official visits with Oregon, Texas, Texas A&M and Ohio State. The Buckeyes will be getting the third visit opportunity with him as his trip to Columbus is planned for Aug. 30.
The visit with the Buckeyes will not be the first, as he last visited with Ohio State in an unofficial capacity on April 5. Much has changed since that trip as Wesley committed to Oregon just over a couple weeks ago on May 10.
Despite the commitment to Oregon, Wesley has seemed to keep his recruitment at least partially open and he will be making sure Oregon is the school that is best for him with these visits. Ohio State has some ground to make up if it is going to pry him from out west, but it also is not an impossible task.
Wesley is the No. 2 edge in the 247Sports Composite Rankings and he is the No. 14 overall recruit. He is also the No. 3 recruit from the talent-rich state of California.
Ohio State also made the recruiting headlines Monday when 2026 four-star offensive tackle Drew Evers (Flower Mound, TX / Flower Mound) announced his top six schools. Ohio State made the cut alongside SMU, LSU, Penn State, Texas A&M and Oregon.
Of his six finalists, he has official visits scheduled with Ohio State, Penn State and Texas A&M and he officially visited SMU earlier in May. His Ohio State visit will be his next and is scheduled for June 6.
Offensive tackle has been a position on priority for Ohio State in its 2026 recruiting class. The Buckeyes already hold offers from two recruits at the position in four-star Ohio OTs Maxwell Riley and Sam Greer. Ohio State also holds a commitment from three-star interior offensive lineman Tucker Smith as well.
The Buckeyes are looking to add multiple more commitments to this position haul in the class, and Evers would make an excellent addition alongside the commits listed above. Ohio State will continue to do their best in making Evers feel like a priority and the fast-approaching official visit will give them a great opportunity to do so.
Evers is the No. 13 IOL in the 247Sports Composite Rankings and he is the No. 208 overall recruit. He is also the No. 27 recruit out of the talent-rich state of Texas.
