OL Kirk Barton (sad)

Sentenced to 5 years. Seems light but some justice (as deemed in by our current judicial system) will at least be served.

On June 21, 2025, police in Dublin reported Barton was driving the wrong way on U.S. Route 33 when he turned around to correct his direction and hit 24-year-old Perry’s car with his pickup truck.

In court, the prosecuting attorney said Barton was going 126 mph five seconds before the crash and 114 mph at impact.

Perry was pronounced dead at the scene. Barton sustained non-life-threatening injuries.

Barton had a blood alcohol content of 0.17%, according to court documents. It was revealed in court that his BAC was 0.242%.

Perry's mother Roslyn provided a statement in court on her son's death.
"Because of your selfishness, I will never be a mother of a groom or a grandparent. Because of your selfishness, he doesn't call me in the morning anymore," she said.

Fans crush Jayden Fielding after strong showing at Ohio State Pro Day

Ohio State football fans crush Jayden Fielding after he drills a long field goal at Pro Day

Login to view embedded media
Video emerged of Fielding hitting a 57-yard field goal during Pro Day, which is longer than any field goal he made over the last three years. Fans lit him up in the comments section.

*Cool.....now do one in game.....from 14 yards
*It didn’t hook far left? Interesting lol
*Now put him outside, in the elements, with 90,000 screaming maniacs…and let’s see how he does


It would be shocking to see a team draft Fielding based on his track record in college. He didn't attempt more than 20 field goals in any single season with Ohio State. He also never made more than 80 percent of his field goals in a year, which is not good when his career high is 49 yards.

Fielding had his best possible workout during Pro Day to give him a chance, though.

Ohio State Athletic Program Violations

Login to view embedded media
The first violation occurred in the summer of 2025, when the Buckeyes used a student manager no longer enrolled at the university. A previous enrollee at one of Ohio State's regional campuses, his duties include some clock operation responsibilities for OSU. The manager was removed, and Ohio State has since introduced enrollment tracking services for its managers.

“The (equipment) staff believed the individual involved would be enrolling at the main campus for the fall 2025 term and permitted him to commence performing traditional managerial duties,” the report read, per the Dispatch.

The second violation reported occurred in January 2025, when a player participated in team strength and conditioning activities before being medically cleared. After the violation was discovered, Ohio State's medical staff cleared the athlete that day, and the Buckeyes are reexamining their medical clearance process.

The third and final self-reported violation occurred when an Ohio State assistant coach shared a post on social media announcing the verbal commitment of a transfer portal prospect, but since the prospect had not actually committed yet, an infraction occurred. The post was deleted and the Buckeyes provided educational services to the assistant.
tcun would have buried them, protested their moral purity and then the President would shower with the team.
