2027 TN DB Jordan Darren Djila (Verbal Offer)

A 6'6 wingspan on a 5'11 kid is insane. A year or two in the weight room and this guy will be a dude.

Here is his junior year highlights. I don't hate what I see - I don't know if he'll ever be an every day starter but he could be a contributor and certainly a special teams guy too.

with a 39" vertical and 6'6" wingspan, he's got a legit shot to just jump straight up and block kicks if nothing else.

2028 MD DL Tyzon Swann (Verbal Offer)

Ohio State leads and LJ Sr is heavily praised (shocker, I know). Seems like LJ is going to get his man here. Big time talent, he's my favorite DE in this class. Not a controversial take, he's the composite top DL in the nation.

LJsr is a legend in that part of the country

2028 KS OL Reece Wilmes (Verbal Offer)

My brain may be foggy, but cannot recollect that tOSU has had any player from Kansas on its football team.
A bit out of date (ten years, to be exact), but as of 2016 there were at least two.
Kansas: By my count, the State of Kansas has sent only two players to Columbus - junior college transfer Jamie Sumner, who started at guard for a couple of years, and little-used lineman Mark Bean. Sumner gets the nod.

QB Tavien St. Clair (Official Thread)

College football's 10 best backup QBs: Oregon, Ohio State among teams with solid second options in 2026

Experienced backup quarterbacks are increasingly rare in the era of NIL and transfers, but these 10 teams can rest easy knowing they have viable No. 2 options under center

Tavien St. Clair, Ohio State

There is no quarterback competition in Columbus this year. Returning Heisman finalist Julian Sayin is firmly entrenched as Ohio State's starter, but that says more about Sayin than the talent behind him. St. Clair, a five-star prospect in the loaded 2025 quarterback class, looks like the next name in the Buckeyes' quarterback pipeline that has produced college stars like C.J. Stroud, Justin Fields, Dwayne Haskins and J.T. Barrett. His limited college sample as a redshirt freshman -- just 12 snaps and two incomplete pass attempts -- hardly says anything about his long-term outlook. At Bellefontaine (Ohio), St. Clair threw for more than 10,000 yards and 104 touchdowns in four seasons, reinforcing why many view him as Ohio State's quarterback of the future.

Congressional Medal Of Honor

Login to view embedded media Then-Second Lieutenant James Capers, Jr. receives the Medal of Honor for acts of gallantry and intrepidity above and beyond the call of duty as a Team Leader with 3d Force Reconnaissance Company, 3d Reconnaissance Battalion in the Republic of Vietnam from March 31 to April 3, 1967.

During a four-day reconnaissance patrol, he and his team were tasked with locating a North Vietnamese regimental base camp. Despite making contact with a numerically superior enemy force on three separate occasions, he tenaciously continued the mission. He successfully directed fire onto an enemy base camp, thwarting an impending attack on a nearby Marine battalion.

On the final day, his patrol was ambushed by a claymore mine and came under a dense barrage of enemy fire, where he sustained multiple severe wounds. Ignoring his injuries and extreme blood loss, he continued to lead his team, coordinate supporting fire, and direct their movement to an extraction site. Refusing to be evacuated before all his men were safe, he ensured the entire team was extracted before finally boarding the helicopter.

Ripley received the Medal of Honor posthumously for acts of gallantry and intrepidity above and beyond the call of duty on April 2, 1972, while serving as Senior Marine Advisor to the Third Vietnamese Marine Corps Infantry Battalion in the Republic of Vietnam.

While serving in this capacity, he played a pivotal role in halting a major North Vietnamese mechanized assault. The enemy’s rapid advance depended on the capture of a bridge in the village of Dong Ha. To destroy the bridge, Captain Ripley single-handedly moved 500 pounds of explosives into position.

For three hours, he repeatedly exposed himself to intense enemy fire as he climbed beneath the bridge along its bridge’s steel beams to emplace the explosive charges at key structural points. After successfully setting the explosives, he detonated the charges, completely destroying the bridge and stopping the enemy’s advance.

On this day, a large and well-armed Taliban force ambushed Second Lieutenant Dockery’s platoon. Over the course of four hours, he fought and maintained contact with the enemy in extremely restricted urban terrain, personally risking his life on numerous occasions to protect and evacuate three wounded members of his platoon.

After consolidation and reorganization, he directed rotary wing aircraft in the defense against subsequent enemy counter-attacks from an exposed rooftop while his unit evacuated the wounded soldiers.
