Learfield Directors' Cup (Formerly Sears Directors' Cup)

Ohio State is sitting fourth, pending the addition of baseball and men's/women's track and field in the final 2024-25 standings.

Honestly, that's better than I thought Ohio State would be. Stanford is first (as usual).

RJ Day’s recruitment is picking up steam entering his junior year at St. Francis DeSales High School. It was easy to see why during Ohio State’s final 7-on-7 tournament of the summer on Wednesday.
Day, who recently added offers from Cincinnati, Purdue and Syracuse to a list that now includes offers from 13 FBS schools, was among the biggest standouts of Wednesday’s 32-team tournament that concluded Ohio State’s high school football camp slate for 2025. The class of 2027 quarterback showed substantially improved arm strength from his previous years camping at Ohio State. His ball placement shined as he accurately fit throws into tight windows throughout the day while leading DeSales to the tournament semifinals.

Day, the son of Ohio State head coach Ryan Day, has already had plenty of success in his first two seasons of high school football. With 2,933 passing yards and 29 passing touchdowns as a freshman and sophomore, RJ is already DeSales’ career passing leader with two more years as a Stallion still to come. He’s worked hard this offseason to keep getting better, and he’s seeing that work pay off.
“From where I was as a freshman to now, I feel like I've made big jumps,” Day told Eleven Warriors after Wednesday’s camp. “Every year you try to focus on different things, and I'm starting to complete that.”

Better Know a Buckeye: Cody Haddad Gives Ohio State Another Versatile Safety But Must Bulk Up As Freshman​

Better Know A Buckeye is our look at every member of Ohio State’s 2025 recruiting class and how they became Buckeyes as they prepare to begin their OSU careers this fall.
The Buckeyes prioritized St. Ignatius (Cleveland, Ohio) safety Cody Haddad later in the process, but the Northeast Ohio product was always going to stay home once he received the Ohio State offer he had always dreamed of. It didn't take long for the three-star safety to choose the Buckeyes, as he was offered by OSU, decommitted from Wisconsin and committed to Ohio State in the span of three months.
As the saying goes, the best in Ohio stay in Ohio, and Haddad brings the type of versatility to the Buckeyes that has become a big part of Ohio State’s secondary of late.

Cody Haddad​

  • Size: 5-11/175
  • Position: S
  • School: St. Ignatius (Cleveland, Ohio)
  • 247Sports Composite: ★★★
  • Composite Rank: #45 S
  • Overall Rank: #522

How He Became a Buckeye​

Ohio State offered Haddad in January 2024, days after he committed to Wisconsin. The in-state safety's connection to OSU became even more evident when he decommitted from Wisconsin after a weekend visit to Columbus, days after visiting OSU for the weekend in late March of that year.
Haddad built a close relationship with Matt Guerrieri across multiple visits to Ohio State, and that was all he needed to decide the Buckeyes gave him the best opportunity to succeed both on and off the field. Haddad committed to Ohio State on April 13, 2024.
Haddad is the 22nd St. Ignatius alum to play for OSU, following in the footsteps of Buckeye greats such as LeCharles Bentley, Anthony Gonzalez and Dre'Mont Jones. He's the first St. Ignatius product to sign with Ohio State since Tommy Eichenberg did in 2019.

The Dog Thread

Does a big old coyote wandering across your backyard count?

I may need to pick up a shotgun as they are passing through our yard more and I had one head toward one of my dogs over the winter. Fortunately my dog came when I called in and the coyote took off when it heard my voice.
just saw this posted.. map of coyotes recently spotted around Akron.. they'll tear up dogs
