Men's Track & Field/Football, 1992-94
Chris Sanders was a dual-sport athlete at Ohio State, excelling at football and as a member of the track & field team. He earned Ohio State Male Athlete of the Year honors, across all sports, in 1994.

As a member of the football team, Sanders was a three-year starter at wide receiver, totaling 71 career receptions for 1,120 total yards and helped lead the Buckeyes to a Big Ten title in 1993. As a senior in 1994, he had 35 receptions for 533 yards and a team-leading eight touchdown receptions.

In track & field, Sanders was one of the best long jumpers – and athletes – the program has ever seen. The three-time First Team All-Big Ten selection earned a spot on the USTFCCCA All-America First Team on 10 occasions in four different events (long jump, 200m, 4x100m relay, 4x400m relay). Sanders captured six Big Ten Championships – 1992 indoor long jump, 1992 outdoor long jump and 4x100m relay, 1993 outdoor 4x100m relay, 1994 outdoor 200m and 4x100m relay. He ran a leg on the winning 4x100m relay at the 1993 Big Ten Championships that set an outdoor championship record (39.33). Sanders held the program record for the indoor long jump (26'9.75") for 34 years, a record that was just broken this season. He also ranks fourth in the outdoor long jump (26'7").

Most here forget how hurt JK was after the Clemson game. Would’ve entirely depended on JKs health.

Also, the defense sort of was figured out that year toward the end. 21 to Rutgers, 27 to TCUN, 21 to Wisconsin and 29 to Clemson.

Would’ve been a great offensive game IMO.

Offensive line experimentation continues​

After Ian Moore started at left tackle and Austin Siereveld started at right guard in Ohio State’s first practice of preseason camp on Thursday, Ryan Day said the Buckeyes would continue to experiment with different offensive line combinations before settling on a starting five. Those words rang true on Friday.

Siereveld returned to left tackle, the position he played last season, for the duration of Friday’s practice, while Joshua Padilla got his chance to run with the top unit at right guard. Moore flipped to the other side of the line to play right tackle, where he split first-team reps with incumbent starter Phillip Daniels over the course of practice.

Based on what we’ve seen through two days of practice and what we’ve heard from Day over the last two weeks, it’s become apparent that there's three offensive linemen competing for two starting spots between Daniels, Moore and Padilla. Depending on who performs best between them through the first couple of weeks of camp, we could see Ohio State settle on any of the following three combinations up front:

• LT Ian Moore, LG Luke Montgomery, C Carson Hinzman, RG Austin Siereveld, RT Phillip Daniels
• LT Austin Siereveld, LG Luke Montgomery, C Carson Hinzman, RG Joshua Padilla, RT Phillip Daniels
• LT Austin Siereveld, LG Luke Montgomery, C Carson Hinzman, RG Joshua Padilla, RT Ian Moore

Ohio State’s second-team offensive line for Friday’s practice consisted of Carter Lowe at left tackle, Jake Cook at left guard, Maxwell Riley at center, Gabe VanSickle at right guard and either Moore or Daniels at right tackle. While Padilla will likely be the next man up at center this season if anything happens to Hinzman, his work at right guard on Friday opened the door for Riley, a true freshman, to get an extended look snapping the ball.

Was just thinking of him the other day. Looking forward to him taking steps this season.

McClelland takes swipe at Indiana despite Hoosiers' recent national title​

Indiana won college football's national championship just a few months ago. Purdue hasn't won a national championship of any kind in 16 years. The facts didn't stop new Boilermakers athletic director Tommy McClelland from taking a shot at Purdue's instate rival.

"Every recruit, every current student athlete will hear this message repeatedly -- we are here to win championships," McClelland said Thursday during his introductory news conference. "If you don't want to win championships, go to Indiana."

Purdue hasn't won an NCAA national championship in any sport since the women's golf team in 2010. It remains the school's only national championship this millennium.

"The future of Purdue athletics is incredibly bright," said McClelland, who previously was the athletic director at Rice. "I am ready to get to work."

More appropriate Purdue AD quote would have been: “We lose. Google us.”

Nine more Ohio State athletics legends will enter the school's Hall of Fame in 2026.
Former Ohio State quarterback J.T. Barrett and baseball standout Nick Swisher headline this year's nine-member Hall of Fame class. They are joined by women's hockey's Jincy Dunne, women's volleyball's Danielle Meyer, football's Chris Sanders and Stan White, and track and field's Katie Borchers, Diane Dixon and Oyesade Olatoye.

Barrett enters the Athletics Hall of Fame as one of the greatest quarterbacks in Ohio State football history. The two-time Big Ten champion and four-time winner over Michigan started 44 games for the Buckeyes and set 39 combined Ohio State (34) and Big Ten (five) records during his career. He finished his career as Ohio State's all-time leader in total victories (38), passing yards (9,434), touchdown passes (104) and quarterback rushing yards (3,263), while his 147 total touchdowns rank fourth in NCAA history.
Swisher also carved out a legendary Ohio State career before becoming a first-round MLB draft pick and a World Series champion with the New York Yankees. The 2000 Big Ten Freshman of the Year and two-time first-team All-Big Ten selection remains one of the top hitters in program history, ranking among the Buckeyes' all-time leaders in home runs (35), RBIs (156) and walks (131). In recognition of his impact on the program, the playing surface at Bill Davis Stadium was named Nick Swisher Field in 2015.
Sanders and White represent the football portion of the class alongside Barrett. Sanders was a standout wide receiver and track and field athlete, earning Ohio State Male Athlete of the Year honors in 1994 after helping the Buckeyes win a Big Ten title in football and earning 10 All-American honors in track. White was a three-year letterwinner under Woody Hayes, earning All-Big Ten honors in 1971 after leading Ohio State in tackles during its 1970 national championship season.

Fucked around and found out.

Half of the NFL have at least one legit fall guy in their posse. They depend on that player's money just like the player does.

Not the first group I'd target for a con game but what do people who are still alive know about such things?

Would be ecstatic to have tOSU beat the Eastern teams for the Lacross championship. But then again, am happy when the Buckeyes win any sort of championship.

First thought is that the Triple Crown winner can/will be no more. The dilution thingy. Am old enough to remember Darby Dan Farms winning the Derby (?) with Chateaugay. Don't remember any memorial type wins after that. Anyone know/care what happened to that non-Kentucky racing stable?

Adam Gorney called his shot for Gaige Weddle to the Bucks with 50% confidence

Click to expand...

Ohio State football hit with prediction to add the son of a former NFL defensive great to Matt Patricia’s defense​

Ohio State is after a big time 2028 recruit with a father who starred in the NFL. The Buckeyes have now been predicted to land the four-star defender from California.

Weddle has already built a strong relationship with Ohio State​

Weddle has been on Ohio State’s campus multiple times this year, and his father has joined him on those visits. The pair have built what is already a strong relationship with Ohio State safeties coach Matt Guerreri, and that connection appears to be paying dividends on the recruiting trail.

Gorney’s prediction has Weddle choosing the Buckeyes over schools like Utah, where his dad played, along with Georgia, Miami, Michigan, and Tennessee. It’s still early for the class of 2028, but players are beginning to come off the board at a faster rate. Weddle could be a player who wants to make a decision at some point this year, and Ohio State is in a good spot to make that happen when he does. Weddle take a game day visit to Ohio State this fall.

“He’s a Utes legacy and Weddle is warming up even more to them but Ohio State isn’t blowing it out of the water with 2027 safety recruiting, his connection to position coach Matt Guerrieri is like a respected friend and there’s no arguing about the development in Columbus,” Gorney wrote.

Ohio State hasn’t gone heavily after safeties in the class of 2027, where they hold two commitments at the position with four-star Eli Johnson and three-star Angelo Smith, the brother of Jeremiah Smith. Weddle is a higher-level prospect than both and is a player Ohio State is putting its focus on in 2028.

Weddle is a name to watch, and the prediction in favor of the Buckeyes here feels pretty good.

Kid reminds me a lot of Christian Kirk. Would love to see him in the slot here.

New safety recruit that Ohio State has been in contact with. Could we land another safety from Louisiana two classes in a row? LSU and Texas A&M are also recruiting him.

KYBuck4858 31 minutes ago
We’ve been on him for awhile. He was thought to be a lock to LSU at one point.
The reason he fell off the map for the past 6-9 months, was that he had severe grade issues. Schools were waiting to see spring and summer school transcripts was the word. I was hoping that LSU would not want to wait for him and fill up, but I think they still have an opening.

305Buck 23 minutes ago
Yeah he’s planning visits to all 3 schools this season.

According to QB warmups at practice #1, he’s repping at #2 center right now.

Lol the predictable domino effect from the insane deal that DGG got. Desperate programs throwing comical bags to get a player or two causes havoc on the market.
