Ohio State’s president is now a member of the NCAA’s leading governing body.

The NCAA announced Thursday that Ohio State president Ted Carter is among the new appointees to the Board of Governors, which provides strategic leadership on NCAA-wide issues. Carter will serve a two-year appointment on the board.

In a social media post on Friday, Carter said he is “honored” to join the Board of Governors and “excited” for Ohio State to have a seat at the table amid a time of change in college sports.

Seattle NHL team's mascot has a close encounter with a brown bear during video shoot in Alaska​

Seattle Kraken forward John Hayden and the team’s blue-haired troll mascot had a close call with a brown bear during a promotional video shoot in Alaska.

Hayden and the mascot named Buoy were on a fly-fishing outing in Katmai National Park as part of a trip promoting youth hockey when the bear approached, video released by the team shows.

Knee-deep in a shallow river, they wore waders and other fly-fishing gear. Hayden had been fishing, but a guide quickly took the rod from him.

The bear charged toward the mascot, splashing water, but turned away before making contact as Hayden, Buoy and the film crew waded back to shore through a gentle current.

Game Thread CFP Playoff Cotton Bowl, tOSU vs Texas, Fri. Jan. 10th, 7:30 ET on ESPN

Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but here's the Worst 30 plays of 2024 (according to some nerds)
Login to view embedded media
#4 is the only one including Ohio State, and it's Texas losing 7 yards on 2nd and goal at the 1.
Countless plays of punters missing the ball, field goal attempts where the holder wasn't ready, intentional groundings in the endzone - a decision to run outside on 2nd and goal at the 1 was considered a worse play. Ha!

TE Nate Roberts (Official Thread)

That’s a relief

Apart from a couple of guys that would be threats for All B1G status if not for the Mackey award front-runner, that room was looking a little thin
Yeah, Max Klare, Will Kacmarek, Bennett Christian and Jelani Thurman are likely to receive the bulk of Ohio State’s tight end reps this fall, but Roberts has the premier talent necessary to become a star in future years while giving the Buckeyes excellent depth this season.

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

157040_h.jpg


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
No. Pos Player Year High School (Hometown) Previous School
14 QB Trey Robinette FR Miami Trace (Washington Court House, OH)
26 QB Kolton Stover FR Highland (Marengo, OH)
28 RB Stanley Jackson Jr. RS SO Westerville North (Westerville, OH) Marshall
30 WR Preston Wolfe FR Hilliard Bradley (Columbus, OH)
32 S JJ Sebert RS FR Pickerington North (Powell, OH) Bucknell
35 S Jaystin Gwinn FR Westerville Central (Westerville, OH)
36 CB Omar Jah FR Olentangy (Lewis Center, OH)
41 LS Grant Mills RS FR The Cannon School (Mooresville, NC) North Carolina
49 S Gavin Thobe FR Bellbrook (Dayton, OH)
54 LB Dylan Furshman FR The Benjamin School (Jupiter, FL)
57 OL Ian Gecse JR Grandview Heights (Columbus, OH)
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.
