2027 TX DB Eli Johnson is a Buckeye!!!

11W Forums

Johnson finished #6 most impressive from day1 of practice:

Eli Johnson is one of the more physically impressive defensive backs on hand at Under Armour this week. The 2027 Ohio State commit really sticks out when watching the Team Roses DB group. He has outstanding size, looking all of 6-foot-3 and 190 pounds, maybe even closer to 200 pounds. He’s a smooth and twitchy mover at that size. Made easy work of DB drills and once Team Roses went to 11-on-11 action, he closed quickly for a pass breakup over the middle. There’s several highly-touted jumbo safeties on hand here, including Notre Dame signee Joey O’Brien and Oregon signee Jett Washington. Johnson stacks up with those two, just from a stature and frame perspective. He certainly looks the part and is a safety that is very developed physically and had some impressive. flashes on Wednesday.

Post vids? Saw things live but I think the switch after Hartline was ill-timed
Oh the switch didn't help but it we could have still won that game.

But I'm sure everyone has seen this one at least he also had innis open on the sideline for 8+ same play.

There is another vid from us backed up down 14 that he misses Tate wide open up the seem and instead drops it off to donalson. I can't find that clip though as the thread it was in seems gone.

Thewn there a few other plays the one he got baited to jeremaiah he had tate open and deeper. A few plays he could have ran if he had Mendoza's legs etc.

People to Punch, Pet Peeves, and General Vexations (mega-merge)

When your dogs haircut cost 2X yours
IDK, man. When my kids and I talk about what they pay for haircuts my head spins like the exorcist. I don't even like spending $30 and they are talking b/w 80, and $120.... Shit, every two weeks and now it is a shitty car payment.

We have mendoza that game and we win. That's not a knock on Julian that's a RS frosh vs a 4th year player.
I keep thinking along the same lines - teams with most experienced starters wins. We won last year dominated by seniors. The team that will not be named was full of players in their 20th year of eligibility the season before. Just feels like a shift to have a stronger emphasis on portal transfers than loading up with freshmen. But what do I know.

Oh, I’ll take an IU win any day over Oregon.

2027 GA DL Justin Weeks (Verbal Offer)

With the season now complete, it’s back to the recruiting grind for Ohio State’s coaching staff

Login to view embedded media
Landing Jacobs this week was huge for the 2027 class, but the only thing better than one elite defensive line target out of Georgia for the Buckeyes would of course be another, and so far so good when it comes to Justin Weeks.

The No. 179 player nationally and the 22nd best edge rusher in the class per the 247Sports Composite, Weeks has well over 20 offers to his name, but has made it clear Georgia and Ohio State are the schools that at least currently are sticking out the most for him and his recruitment.

2025 Cotton Bowl: #2 tOSU vs #10 Miami-FL, Wed 12/31 7:30 ET at JerryWorld

Day needs to bring in someone who can actually fix the OL situation. I think we've been very poor at evaluation. A guy can be the biggest most physical dude but if he's a stiff who plays in quicksand and lacks the more basic skills he's gonna have a hard time against more athletic pass rushers

It's not a Physicality issue with the OL like the DFBIA would be screaming....i

They don't get to talk that smack ever again. The Buckeyes pounded them into the ice in AA this year. They ran it down their throats again and again.

They were lined up offside on that one play.

We shouldn’t get over this for about 23 years!

Jesus, man! You act like they would have won if the refs didn’t screw us over so badly on that one play. Good god. Never forget.
Don’t forget the non existent hold call that stopped a solid drive.

My eyes showed me that the better team won.

You haven't see the post game vids then. Day drew up quite a few winners Sayin just missed and the running for 1at downs would have made a huge difference.

Yes Day could have done more to help him out but it's not nearly as bad as it felt post game.
