They look like a club team. Deion is somehow going to leave them in worse condition than when he found them.

“WHERE I WANTED TO BE.” When Ryan Day first reached out to Arthur Smith about coming to Ohio State, coaching in college football wasn’t exactly at the top of Smith’s list. But the more Smith learned about the opportunity, the more he realized Columbus was exactly where he wanted to be.

“It wasn’t really on my radar when Coach Day first called and was feeling out if I’d have any interest coaching in college football,” Smith told On3’s Chris Low this week. “But then I kind of dug into it. That’s my mindset. I just want the next adventure. It was the same way when Coach (Mike) Tomlin called me. I wasn’t really thinking about Pittsburgh until he called, and I was halfway across the world after I’d been let go in Atlanta. I didn’t know Mike T that well. I knew him casually as peers, so you just never know where this profession takes you.

“I’ve always been excited that when you get an opportunity for another adventure, it’s a chance to learn something new, learn a different way to do it and try to enhance yourself and the place you’re going to.”

After sitting down with Day and talking with Matt Patricia about his experience in Columbus, Smith quickly became sold on the opportunity to coach for the Buckeyes.

“It’s Ohio State. It’s a chance to work with Coach Day,” Smith said. “Obviously, he’s had a heck of a run here and has the highest winning percentage of any active coach. And then talking to Matt about his time here and how much he’s enjoying it, mostly because of the kind of players we’ve got, only reinforced that this is where I wanted to be.

“He was right. The kids here have been awesome.”
Day, meanwhile, knew Smith had to genuinely want to make the jump from the NFL to college for the partnership to work.

“The first thing is you have to want to be in college,” Day said. “If you have to talk yourself into it, someone is always going to have one foot in and one foot out and say, ‘I’m going back to the NFL. This is crazy. The portal is crazy. These kids are young.’ I’ve seen it before. It doesn’t work. You have to want to do this. Matt (Patricia) wanted to do this. He wanted to build relationships. Arthur was the same way. He came over to my house. We spent five hours together at my house. You could tell by the look in his eyes he wanted to coach in college.”

After 15 years in the NFL, Smith could have viewed Ohio State as a temporary stop before returning to the league. Instead, he sees an opportunity to experience something completely different — and one that came with the chance to work alongside Day and coach one of the most talented rosters in the country.

Now, Smith gets his “next adventure” in Columbus. And judging by his comments, Smith is thrilled he answered Ryan Day's message.

“There’s just an appreciation to be at a place like this and have a chance to get where we all want to go,” Smith said. “I’m excited for the atmospheres, the traditions, the rivalries and all that stuff that make college football so cool. … It’s a different type of fandom.”

Injury update arises for Ohio State football playmaker they brought in from the transfer portal​

Clarity has come about regarding Ohio State transfer portal WR Kyle Parker and what’s going on with him early in fall camp.



One player who has drawn attention is former LSU wide receiver Kyle Parker, who transferred to Ohio State after three years with the Tigers.

Parker followed wide receiver coach Cortez Hankton from LSU to Ohio State, and his transition appeared to be going smoothly after a strong spring. However, he was limited during the three days of training camp. Parker took part in the individual wide receiver drills but not in the team portion of practice, according to Lettermen Row.

The good news is that Parker was still out there in pads for all three practices, so he shouldn’t be limited for long.

Kyle Parker’s limitations don’t appear serious

Being limited to start fall camp after a productive spring isn’t ideal for Parker, but the fact that he remained in pads throughout all three practices signals nothing serious is holding him back. He figures to be a depth wide receiver for the Buckeyes once fully healthy. He saw his first real college production last year at LSU, catching 31 passes for 330 yards and four touchdowns.

Kyle Parker’s role in a revamped wide receiver rotation

Still, Parker should be able to carve out snaps in a Buckeyes wide receiver rotation that figures to look different under Hankton than it did with Brian Hartline coaching the position in Columbus. Hankton’s approach could lend itself to more rotation, which would benefit a depth piece like Parker once he’s fully participating in team drills.

The Buckeyes have no serious injuries to monitor at this time, and Parker’s situation appears minor … good news for an Ohio State team gearing up for a challenging 2026 season.

Ohio State football has another freshman making his name heard, and it adds to the players pushing for an early impact​

Ohio State has several freshman pushing for playing time in 2026. As fall camp rolls on, another Buckeyes newcomer is making his name heard.

Another freshman Buckeye is getting his flowers​

According to Spencer Holbrook of Lettermen Row, it’s freshman WR Jerquaden Guilford who some believe could be the next freshman to lose his black strike.

“Lettermen Row reached out to a source after practice Wednesday asking about who could be next. The answer from that source was Jerquadan Guilford, who has taken a big step forward in terms of maturity during the last few months and is now making plays at receiver. Oh, and he’s a special teams name to watch.”

Guilford is the third Ohio State freshman wide receiver generating attention for this 2026 team. Guilford was the second-highest-rated receiver the Buckeyes brought in, as 247Sports’ Composite rankings had him as the No. 6 wideout and No. 45 player in the country in the class of 2026.

Jerquaden Guilford faces a crowded receiver room but has a potential path to playing time​

The 6-foot-3, 185-pound wideout took some time to ramp up in the spring, but he’s clearly gotten more comfortable in Columbus as the summer months have rolled on and the season approaches. It’s going to be hard for Guilford to crack the wide receiver rotation on offense right away, but he’s going to have a chance to make a special teams impact first. From there, he could potentially leap ahead into a bigger offensive role next year for the Buckeyes.

Right now it seems like Guilford is behind players like Smith, Brandon Inniss, McCuin, LSU transfer Kyle Parker, Henry Jr., and Boyd. Still, injuries can happen, and Guilford could certainly see a bigger rise into more playing time. Either way, the freshman is creating some buzz in August, and it wouldn’t be surprising to see him on the field this fall.

26 Hall of Fame members emerge from corn at Field of Dreams​

Members of the Phillies and Twins emerge from the corn as part of the pregame ceremonies prior to the Field of Dreams game in Dyersville, Iowa


Cal Ripken Jr. (8) and Pudge Rodriguez (7) were among the 26 Hall of Famers to appear at the Field of Dreams in Iowa on Thursday. It was the largest gathering of Hall members outside of Cooperstown since the 2008 All-Star Game at old Yankee Stadium.

Major League Baseball came back to the Field of Dreams, carrying a big piece of Cooperstown.

The pregame pomp before the Minnesota Twins played the Philadelphia Phillies -- adjacent to the farmland where the 1989 fantasy was filmed -- featured 26 members of the Hall of Fame emerging from the outfield corn just as the ghost players did in the movie.

With some of the loudest cheers saved for former Phillies third baseman Mike Schmidt and former Twins catcher Joe Mauer, the capacity crowd of about 8,000 at the newly constructed ballpark in northeast Iowa soaked up the surreal atmosphere as the retired stars strolled into the infield for proper introductions.

Fireworks were launched from the cornfield during the national anthem, and Phillies slugger Kyle Schwarber followed with his own big bang -- a homer to right on Twins starter Taj Bradley's third pitch of the game that set the tone for a 7-1 win Thursday night.
