Ohio State transfer now at another national championship contender is already off to an unfortunate start for 2026 season​

Former Ohio State wideout Quincy Porter looks to be starting the 2026 season on the shelf at his new home.

Quincy Porter, who transferred to Notre Dame after just one season in Columbus, underwent a minor procedure that will keep him sidelined for at least a couple more weeks as the Fighting Irish prepare for the 2026 season. Notre Dame head coach addressed the news on Friday with an interesting comment.

Marcus Freeman provides update on Porter’s status​

“He’s still a couple of weeks out,” Freeman said, via Blue and Gold. “He’s getting better. We had a minor procedure today to get him a little bit quicker, to hopefully being able to help us. He’s still got a little bit of time to be in a position where we feel like he can help this team.

“But it will happen. It’s going to happen here soon. I just don’t know when it’s going to be.”

Based on Freeman’s comments, Porter could potentially miss the first game or two for Notre Dame, and the inability to go through a normal training camp only compounds the setback. For a player who transferred in hopes of finding a clearer path to playing time, missing multiple weeks only broadens the chance of him falling further down the depth chart.

Dude's a beast, for sure. But your point about taking hits is valid.

Yeah maybe those hits are ok now in HS (I bet he’s sore after that game) but I don’t think that style is going to workout when there’s 235 LBs running as fast as him and 300 pound DTs who can throw him like a rag doll.

As I said, impressive when he’s down hill full speed but can he really play like that in college or the pros? I highly doubt that.

Ruined his legacy in BR/Louisiana.

And when you think about how rife with corruption this place is, that’s quite the feat!

Just the entitled attitude that he’s so good no one should wear 5 again at LSU.

Troy Smith did more for OSU than this freaking guy and we have someone in 10 constantly. Including our QB THIS YEAR.

Rightfully getting burned online for this.

Hopefully LSU doesn’t bitch out

Ohio State football leader’s comment on one Buckeye freshman is all you’ll need to hear to know how good he’ll be​

Ohio State Buckeyes CB Jermaine Mathews Jr.’s comment on an Ohio State freshman all but tells how good he’s going to be in Columbus.

Brock Boyd is making noise weeks ahead of the season​

Brian Hartline did Ohio State one last big favor before leaving, and that was bringing in the class of 2026 to Columbus, headlined by 5-star wide receiver Chris Henry Jr. Henry isn’t the only freshman catching attention during fall camp, though. Back in the spring, it was Brock Boyd, the former 3-star recruit from Texas, who was the most talked-about freshman because of how quickly he hit the ground running in Columbus, andit’s still the case

Senior cornerback Jermaine Mathews Jr. was asked about Boyd on Thursday, and he didn’t hold back.

“Brock is just, shi*, Brock is different,” Mathews stated on Thursday. “I don’t know, It’s something about Brock. He’s different, I love Brock.

When it comes to the freshman class as a whole, Mathews is very high on them.

“I really like all the receivers. The freshmen, they’re probably the best freshman players I’ve ever seen. Freshman, they are nice. Receivers are always going to be receivers here. I’ve done seen a lot of them coming through here. I think they just give us work every day. They’re just special,” Mathews added.

Brock Boyd’s role could be there Day 1​

Boyd is a 6-foot-1, 196-pound receiver who is going to play for the Buckeyes this year, likely out of the slot. Even if it starts as a depth role, he’s going to get on the field. He’s made that much clear already early in his Ohio State tenure. Despite not being a coveted recruit, Hartline pushed to flip him from his commitment to TCU, and we’re seeing why now.

Henry, Boyd, and fellow freshman Jerquaeden Guilford are all going to be a huge part of Ohio State’s receiver room going forward. If it’s not this year, then next year. Hartline went out with a strong final class in Columbus, and Boyd wasn’t a headliner name coming in. His teammates are speaking out about him now, though, and that’s worth paying attention to.

Former Ohio State OL George Fitzpatrick still dealing with a medical emergency​

According to Wildcats head coach Collin Klein, Fitzpatrick is still not medically cleared to play. Therefore, he will miss the entire 2026 season. In fact, in his announcement, it sounds like Fitzpatrick might not be able to continue playing football since he hasn't hit certain benchmarks.

"Because of the timing of his not clearing some of these benchmarks, for his best interest and his health, the doctors have recommended that he not play this season. Football is still not out of the question in his future by any stretch, but his long-term health and safety have always been at the forefront."

Smart guy. Let his Dad tout his kid. After all that's what we fathers do! Keep your mouth shut, and anything you say won't end up twisted, and insinuating something completely out of context.

New Oklahoma State coach Eric Morris shoots armadillo in yard​

Pistols Firing: OSU's Morris kills armadillo in yard

"My brain's going constantly and so ... I don't sleep very well," he said Tuesday. "I've had a couple of armadillo problems tearing up my lawn. Finally, a couple of days ago I just popped up at 2:30 [a.m.] because I couldn't sleep and I thought it was a great opportunity for me to go outside and luckily I found him."

It was the first encounter with an armadillo for Morris, who said it "was crushing my yard, my flower beds, digging everything up."

Morris made quick work of the animal and gave new meaning to "Pistols Firing," a popular slogan and hand gesture used by Oklahoma State fans and teams.

"Had to send a text message to my neighbors," he said. "I apologized for the gunshot. I am in the country, so it was legal. But I did get rid of him."

Just sayin': Critters tearing up your yard....

The Oklahoma State coach Eric Morris or this guy:​

Stay healthy and wait for the confetti

Yikes. About to have to paint the endzones.

Biggest roster we've ever had??

Geesh if this kid has the goods we've got special possibilities this year.

It's a start. There is a faction (mostly faculty) that want to see it in the 7000-7500 range, which is where I fall.

Another post from Georgia’s 247 insider who was at the game last night and talked to Barner, he said most around Barner name Ohio State as where he will ultimately land. He loves the vision Ohio State has for him as to how they will use him, particularly at Safety.
He said Barner will be committing sometime in that December-January window and NIL discussions are expected to start throughout the fall, most likely after his season ends.

I hope he lights it up and wins the Heisman (not really).
