CB Damon Arnette (All B1G, Houston Texans)

Former Ohio State football player claims he's made a complete turnaround in the UFL

A former Ohio State football player thinks he's made a complete turnaround when it comes to his career.

The Ohio State football program has been known for putting a lot of great cornerbacks in the NFL. While it's not at the same rate as wide receivers, they have still put in a lot of really good corners, mainly in the last 2010s. That was the heyday of corners for the Buckeyes.

Most of those corners have gone on to do good things in the NFL. Some of them have had some injury problems, while still others have fallen out of the league completely. The latter is what happened to Damon Arnette after he was a surprising first-round pick in the 2020 NFL Draft.

Arnette had a lot of problems in the NFL. He was released from the Raiders after just two seasons. He hasn't played in an NFL game since, only being able to make some practice squads. Now he's in the UFL, playing for the Houston Roughnecks. Apparently, he thinks he's made a complete turnaround.

Former Ohio State football player Damon Arnette thinks he's ready to get back into the NFL

Arnette claims that he's made a complete turnaround with his life, in addition to his football life. According to him, the coaches have him on the right track. In fact, he thinks that he's more of a professional than he ever has been in his life.

There are a lot of things that still need to happen for Arnette to make it back to the NFL. He still has to prove to teams that he can actually stay out of trouble. In addition to that, Arnette has to prove that he has improved as a cornerback. A few games in the UFL aren't going to prove anything.

Arnette was always a confident player. Quite frankly, he was cocky when he was with the Buckeyes. Now, that cockiness is back. He still has to figure out a way to prove to NFL teams to give him another chance.

Just two years ago, Arnette was indicted on multiple gun charges. He has to prove that those issues are in the past and that he is only focused on football.

2025 tOSU Defense Discussion

The Ohio State football program has one big issue that needs to be fixed

If Ohio State can clean up this issue, they have a really good chance to repeat as national champions.

The Ohio State football program is still one of the teams that has the best chance to win a national championship this season. Along with Texas, they have the best odds to win it all. Those two teams play each other in the first game of the season in the Shoe.

While Ohio State has a lot of talent on both sides of the ball returning for this season, they also have a decent number of players who have left. Because of that, there is one big issue that the Buckeyes must still fix. That issue is figuring out a good defensive rotation on the defensive line.

For years, the Ohio State Buckeyes rotated a lot of players up front on the defensive line. They didn't do that as much over the last couple of years because of Jim Knowles' influence. With Knowles gone, that rotation might start back up. They have to figure out what that rotation might be, now.

The Ohio State football team must figure out its defensive line rotations

As we saw in the Spring Game, there is still a massive issue when it comes to Ohio State and getting pressure up front on the defensive line. The Buckeyes were able to add Beau Atkinson to help with that, but they still have some problems getting players to rush up the middle.

2026 LA S Blaine Bradford is a Buckeye!!!

This 5-star Ohio State commit is already thinking about beating TTUN

This kid is ready to take down Michigan next season.

It doesn't take much to add some extra spice to the Ohio State football vs. Michigan rivalry. Leave it to 5-star Buckeyes safety commit Blaine Bradford to do just that. Bradford made a lot of fans happy recently when he said he's fully locked in with Ryan Day and he won't be taking other visits.

Now, Bradford has even more people talking thanks to an interview this week with Bucknuts 247, the OSU 247Sports affiliate. While speaking with Bryce Koon, Bradford didn't hesitate in saying he's already excited about playing Michigan once he gets to campus. He knows what the rivalry means and the pressure that comes with it:

Thread of What You've Eaten, Cooked and/or Drunk Lately

Reminds me of when my wife and I went to Paris. Our first night there we by chance wandered into a nice little place near our hotel and had a good meal. I still have a picture from inside. Mind you it's 8pm and dinner service is just beginning, we were the first ones there.

DSCF2323.jpg

We lucked out that night and got a waiter that was willing to humor us not speaking French and tried his best to answer her many questions that she asked in English and did his best to speak English although a few times he had to make animal noises to tell her what the meat in the dish was. She got lamb and loved it so after that she set out to have lamb as often as possible. The next few nights we hit bistros which aren't exactly gourmet places but being we were in France she had high expectations for the food. Our servers weren't as patient with her as the guy from the first night and you could tell she was annoying the hell out of them. She ended up ordering something random and both times it was stewed meat in a pot with vegetables which she didn't like. She even mentioned that the meat was unidentifiable to her. I joked that it was probably a cat or dog, many of both which were roaming the place, jumping on our laps. The next table was so close that they almost burned you with their cigarettes. That's France for you. I had a great time but my wife has sworn never to step foot back into France. The last straw was the night before we left. She had hurried to get to some museum she had wanted to see and got there at the exact second that they were closing their doors to newcomers. She pleaded with the guy to let her in and he just looked at her with the most bored expression that you can imagine, shrugged and waved his finger at her (which was holding a lit cigarette) and told her no and shut the door in her face.

Vacation: Beach or mountains?

Dubs, have taken three of the four (?) tours there. Try to envision all the movie stars that sailed up the coast to partake in Willie Randolph's parties. Pool is to die for, and the jar of French's mustard on the tremendous dining table is a hoot. (am more a Grey Poupon guy myself). Actually, when we get to Cambria, we head up to that area for a wine tasting and lunch. Sit out on a cliff overlooking the ocean, sip some wine and munch sandwich, and the stress and cares wash away with the waves. Tasting room is situated a tad north of the pier, where the boats tied up, etc. Probably a bit more than you bargained for, but yeah, we know the place. PS, rooms in the area are more cost effective than down in Cambria, and it's a great seaside drive up to Big Sur and Monterey/Carmel if you're on a road trip (except for the floods that wash out the roads - which are now closed currently).
The first time I traveled through Big Sur my father was bringing us back home from a summer in Oregon. He decided to take the scenic route down the California coast. About midnight we hit Carmel and he decided to pull into a rest stop to get some shut eye (too cheap for a motel). The only food he bought was a loaf of bread and a jar of peanut butter. Imagine trying to make a peanut butter in a car). We pull into the rest area and it's full of pimps, prostitutes and Johns. There was a beach behind the bathroom area and my sister was whining that she wanted to go down to the water which was a big nope. he ultimately decided it was too dangerous there and we hit the road again. We ended up driving all the way to Morro Bay before we stopped to rest again, he slept while we played on the beach. The drive down was nerve racking though because it's a rather curvy road with sheer cliffs on one side. I did enjoy the scenery was was a nervous wreck knowing my dad hadn't slept and he was weaving a bit. When I was in the service stationed in Victorville I took a lovely airwomen that I had met on a weekend trip. We started in Victorville on a Thursday morning (we both took 2 days leave) and drove to Vandenburg AFB and spent the night there. Beautiful drive. She happened to be from Ohio and never knew that California looked like that. The next morning we hit Pismo beach and then worked our way up north on the Cabrillo Hwy. I wish we would have done Hearst Castle but we kind of felt pressed for time. We made it up to Monterey and spent the next night. We messed around then decided to head back. Headed east and hit the 99, passed through your neck of the woods and headed east again at Bakerfield and pass through Tehachapi. It really is mind boggling how beautiful California is and that was just a small part. So many different regions with so many different landscapes. Even the 101 from San Jose to Paso Robles is amazing in a weird way. Those bald hill that look like giant haystacks.

You ask, we answer. Sometimes we ask, others answer. And then other times, we ask, we answer.

From now until preseason camp starts in August, Land-Grant Holy Land will be writing articles around a different theme every week. This week is all about what we would do if we were in charge of our favorite position group, team, conference, or sport. You can catch up on all of the
Theme Week content here and all of our ”If I Was in Charge” articles here.

Throughout the year, we will be asking and answering questions about various Ohio State teams, the players, and anything else on our collective minds of varying degrees of importance. If you have a question that you would like to ask, you can tweet us @LandGrant33 or if you need more than 280 characters, send an email HERE.



If you have been paying attention to the major discussions around the world of Ohio State football in the past week or so, you know that a lot of people have very big feelings about when the Buckeyes play their football games. So, for this week’s fan survey, we are taking it directly to Buckeye Nation to see what they would do if they had the opportunity to make some key changes to the Big Ten and Ohio State’s media rights deal.

Our Michael Citro already voiced his opinion, now it’s your turn. So, check out the questions and vote in the survey below. If you want to expand on your thoughts or offer an idea not included in the questions, feel free to drop down to the comments at the bottom of the page.

Check back with LGHL this weekend, when we will share the results from this week’s survey.


Question 1: If you were in charge, what would Ohio State’s Big Noon schedule look like?


From a practical standpoint, Big Noon games aren’t going away for the Buckeyes. I do think that fans have the ability to bully Fox to not put every game in the early window, but the media company spent waaaaaaaaaaaaay too much money to not have the Big Ten’s biggest brand in the slot that they think is best for their business.

However, that’s not the question at hand. We want to know how you would change OSU’s relationship with noon games if you were in charge. You can keep the cash flowing and maintain the status quo, you can put a cap on how many 12 p.m. kickoffs the Buckeyes have, you can limit nooners to presumed blowouts, or you can excise Big Noon from the realm of possibilities.

Of course, if you have another idea, please write it in below in the comments.


Question 2: If you were in charge, what would the Big Ten and Ohio State’s media deal look like?


While tons of Buckeye fans are pretty ticked off at Fox right now over the Big Noon fiasco, it wasn’t that long ago that most of those same fans (and likely many more) were also pretty pissed at ESPN for other slights, both real and imagined.

So, if you were in charge of the conference and/or university’s media rights deals, what would they look like? Would you keep the current mix of broadcast partners intact? Would you switch back to the worldwide leader in sports?

Or, would you go old-school and require every game to be broadcast on a broadcast network that you can access simply with an antenna? Better yet, would you have the B1G and/or OSU start up its own streaming service and have every game broadcast there, so you never had to guess where you would have to watch the games that week?

All options are on the table, what say you?

2026 LA DL Lamar Brown (LSU Verbal)

Read that with my negative nelly bifocals, and hope Patricia's not getting crosswise with LJsr, as did previous DC. But tOSU has exhibited some great recruiting chops this year, everywhere except DL. Saw this as a kinda sorta thing, like the Bama President telling Nick Saban he ought to run more end arounds.....
I could also see it as Day saying someone needs to help with DL recruiting. From following Day as a coach, he seems to think like many of us on these message boards, and doesn't seem like a coach with his head in the sand. He has a keen eye for recruiting, and who's doing well and who's doing... maybe not as well with their position. And he isn't shy about finding resolutions or guys need to move(i.e. Eliano, Stud, Frye, Kelly, Alford)
