Ohio State’s 11 New Walk-Ons for 2025 Include Sons of Former Buckeyes, Three-Star Recruits​

Ohio State’s 11 new walk-ons for the 2025 season include several players whose last names will be familiar to Buckeye fans. Stanley Jackson Jr., a redshirt sophomore running back who previously played at Marshall, is the son of former Buckeye quarterback Stanley Jackson. Jaystin Gwinn, a freshman safety from nearby Westerville Central High School, is the son of former Ohio State safety Anthony Gwinn; his uncle, Jayson Gwinn, was also a defensive end for the Buckeyes.

Ohio State’s New Walk-Ons for 2025
The 11 new walk-ons join 19 returning walk-ons and 91 scholarship players on Ohio State’s 2025 roster, giving the Buckeyes 121 players as preseason camp begins.

While the House v. NCAA settlement approved this summer set a roster limit of 105 players for college football, teams are allowed to have larger rosters for now thanks to the Designated Student-Athlete exception, which gives teams extra roster spots to account for players who were already with the team that would have lost their spots if a hard cap of 105 players had gone into effect this season. As such, Ohio State will have the same number of players in camp this year as it has in other recent seasons.

My people are telling me it’s going to happen tomorrow. I don’t really have any people, but I thought it made me sound important.

You have much more confidence in people's intelligence than I do.
Put 100 people in a room and hold up a normal stop sign. You'll never get 100 people to agree that it's a stop sign.

It's not just the sanctions themselves that i am looking forward to - but also the prose.

I want to read a description of the cover up that is so damning, detailed and clear it will make it impossible for anyone in maize and blue to utter a single "yeah, but..."

Coaches poll indicates it’s OSU #2 vs #1 Texas.

I don’t get the love for Texas. They lost a bunch of players from last year so why are they so high up?

No matter how damning, they will still “yeahbut”





No matter how stupid it makes them look

It's more like the NFL pairing the two teams from last years Super Bowl in week 1.

It's no where near the same but those ad slots aren't going to sell themselves I guess.

Tick-tock-tick-tock-tick-tock........

Wife and daughter do not golf, but yesterday the whole family went out to the course,. My son and i played from the tee to the green, then the girls putted for us - it was a fun afternoon, the girls got very frustrated with how the putts would break, how difficult it was to guess how hard to hit the ball, ect. My son and I each chipped in (on separate holes) and the girls were mad they didn't get to putt, LOL

True but that is a result of the strategy of putting a lid on things with zone. It's going to "force" the offense into "unforced" errors depending on which POV you want to take.

Texas wasn't the only team to try to play a lot of zone, they just had the best athletes doing it. They disguised it and had the athletes to move safeties/LB's at the last minute to keep a reasonable lid on things. I am 100% sure they will do the same thing this year and it will absolutely be the right way to attack this offense with a new QB. Playing a bunch of soft zone should create openings for a counter punch from the offense but it might be asking a lot for a new QB to handle the reads Game 1.

This is basically where I'm at with this. A retooled offensive personnel against a defense that made OSU work for everything last year. Not generally a winning formula. Also no Chip Kelly to call the game worries me, I'm nervous about Hartline in an expanded role.

Good news is, Texas should have similar or more serious concerns about their offense.

Bet the under

Micah Parsons trade request: How Cowboys could've saved at least $30 million with simple advice from JJ Watt​

Maybe Watt should be running 'America's Team'​

The Dallas Cowboys haven't won a Super Bowl in 30 years, but they definitely are the best in the NFL at least one thing: creating contract drama with their star players. Last year, it was CeeDee Lamb and Dak Prescott. This year, it's Micah Parsons, who is so fed up with the organization that he has now requested a trade.

With Lamb and Prescott, the Cowboys essentially waited until the last second to get a deal done, and in Prescott's case, it really was the last second: The Cowboys quarterback was given a record-setting four-year, $240 million extension just HOURS before the team's regular-season opener in September 2024.

The problem for the Cowboys is that the longer they wait to get a deal done, the more money they're throwing away. As a matter of fact, the next time Jerry Jones needs to get a big contract done, he might want to call JJ Watt for advice. After Parsons' trade request came out Friday, the three-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year and current game analyst for 'The NFL on CBS' offered some simple advice to the Cowboys (and the rest of the NFL).

If the Cowboys had followed that advice, they could have saved some serious money with Lamb and Parsons. Let's take a look at how much they could have saved.

CeeDee Lamb
Contract he got from the Cowboys: The receiver signed a four-year, $136 million extension in August 2024 that pays out an average of $34 million per year. Lamb became the second-highest-paid receiver, trailing only Justin Jefferson, who had signed a deal in June 2024 worth $35 million per year.
What the Cowboys could have done: When the 2024 offseason started, Tyreek Hill was the highest-paid receiver in the NFL at $30 million per year, but that price went up in April 2024 after A.J. Brown signed an extension for $32 million per year. It went up again in June 2024 after Jefferson signed his extension. If the Cowboys had gotten a deal done with Lamb at any point between January and March 2024, they likely could have gotten him under contract for $30 million or $31 million per year. At $31 million per year, Lamb would have become the highest-paid receiver in NFL history, so it's hard to imagine that he would have turned that kind of offer down.
Savings: At $31 million per year over four years, the Cowboys would have saved $12 million over what they ended up paying him.

Micah Parsons
Contract he might get from the Cowboys: Parsons is expected to become the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history, so if he does rescind his trade request and sign a new deal, it's a near certainty the contract will pay him at least $42 million per year (TJ Watt is currently the highest-paid non-QB at $41 million per year).
What the Cowboys should have done: Parsons has been eligible for an extension since the end of the 2023 season. From January 2024 through January 2025, the numbers didn't really change on what an offer might have looked like. During most of that span, the highest-paid non-quarterback was Nick Bosa, who was making an average of $34 million per year. Justin Jefferson then topped it in June 2024 with a deal worth $35 million per year. That's the number the Cowboys needed to beat. Maxx Crosby topped that number in early March 2025 with a three-year extension that's worth an average of $35.5 million per year. If the Cowboys had gotten a deal done between January 2024 and March 4, 2025, they probably could have gotten Parsons under contract for $36 million or $37 million per year. That would have put him comfortably above Bosa as the highest-paid pass-rusher and above Jefferson as the highest-paid non-QB.
Savings: If Parsons ends up getting a four-year, $172 million deal (worth $42 million per year) from the Cowboys, that will sting. At $37 million per year over four years, the Cowboys would have saved $20 million if they had gotten the deal done earlier. If Parsons gets a deal worth MORE than $42 million per year, that's just more savings out the window for a franchise that apparently loves to burn money.

TOTAL SAVINGS ON JUST THOSE TWO CONTRACTS: $32 million
