Sales’ visit to Ohio State went really well over the weekend as the fan base stood out most in Columbus and the coaching staff told the 2027 four-star athlete from Indianapolis (Ind.) Lawrence North they’d come see him in the offseason to keep building the relationship. The Buckeyes haven’t offered yet but that would be a big one as Tennessee, Indiana, Kentucky and Miami stand out most.

One of the top 2027 running backs nationally, the Buffalo (N.Y.) Canisius standout was at Ohio State over the weekend and loved what he saw from the Buckeyes.
Coach Ryan Day told Kimble that they were going to play fast and aggressive and that’s exactly what Kimble saw as Ohio State and Oregon have taken the early lead in his recruitment.

P Nick McLarty (National Champion)

I mean I’m here for it when we are up big… maybe the fans would stick around if they know there’s a shot for a football to reach their seats in C deck?
Tom Skladany could have done it, but his punts always went where he sent them. He is the only punter that I ever saw get an audible "oooooo" out of the crowd for how high his punts went... yes... way over C-Deck. Would love to see McLarty do that in the future. Preferably without supplying the crowd with souvenirs.

Injuries and artificial turf

Perhaps we should pay Scott's to put their name on the field instead of Safelite and take care of actual grass. It could be Scott's Lawn at Ohio Stadium.
Football needs to be played outdoors on grass. (I've read all the reasons it isn't practical/possible at the Shoe, so chalk this up as my one unhinged fan opinion)

DB Damon Webb (2017 Cotton Bowl Def MVP, Ottawa Redblacks)

Webb named All-CFL​

While we focus primarily on NFL players from Ohio State in Across The Shield, another former Buckeye playing north of the border deserves a shoutout for his professional football performance this season.

In his third season as a member of the CFL’s Ottawa Redblacks and fourth CFL season overall, former Ohio State safety Damon Webb earned All-CFL honors for the first time as he had a standout season in which he recorded 69 tackles with five interceptions – including two pick-sixes in one game – plus two sacks and a forced fumble.

Exceptional

Receiver Justin Hardy, defensive lineman Lorenzo Mauldin IV, and defensive back Damon Webb were announced by the league as members of the 2024 All-CFL team!#ALLIN | https://t.co/UN2zzBbFL7 pic.twitter.com/BLC5KEWKmO

Ohio State vs #19 Texas, Monday, Nov 4, 2024 @ 10 PM ET, in Las Vegas, TNT

to each their own but I didnt think Meechie looked bad at all. Hit a couple 3's and played some good active defense. Had a few shots roll out or his stat line wouldve looked even better. Probably all jacked up on mt dew being back in the S 'n G!
I can't really pinpoint any specific moments but I just wasn't impressed with him. Also others were stealing the show with their play, so fewer opportunities for him. But I know he is a talent and it could be he was excited to be back in the right uniform. Mountain Dew may have been involved haha. I have no concerns of his play over the course of the season.

Offensive Linemen​

Seth McLaughlin: 52
Tegra Tshabola: 52
Josh Fryar: 52
Donovan Jackson: 50
Carson Hinzman: 50
George Fitzpatrick: 16
Luke Montgomery: 14
Ian Moore: 14
Joshua Padilla: 14
Austin Siereveld: 13
Toby Wilson: 3

Ohio State used the same starting lineup on the offensive line as it did against Penn State with Jackson starting at left tackle and Hinzman starting at left guard. Hinzman left the game for Ohio State’s final two plays of the first half after suffering an apparent knee injury and was replaced by Siereveld, but Hinzman returned for the start of the second half. Jackson came out of the game at the start of the fourth quarter – two plays before the rest of Ohio State’s starters – and was replaced by Fitzpatrick at left tackle after he was slow to get up on Ohio State’s second-to-last play of the third quarter.

Fitzpatrick remained in the game for the entire fourth quarter with the second-team offensive line, which also consisted of Montgomery at left guard, Padilla at center, Siereveld at right guard and Moore at right tackle. Wilson, a self-described glue guy, saw his first offensive snaps of the year when he replaced Siereveld at RG for the game’s final series.

Zachariah Branch (WR Southern Cal)

11W Forums

305Buck 56 minutes ago
A poster on Bucknuts claims Zachariah Branch will be hitting the portal too.

I know some here would love to have him as a return specialist but USC fans have been criticizing him all season on how he seems afraid to field punts and kick off returns. Could just be making a business decision to not get hurt before hitting the portal.
That would be shocking but I would love love love him in a Buckeye uniform
