DL Damari Simeon (Official Thread)

Login to view embedded media

Depth Chart Outlook​

In his first season as a Buckeye, Simeon will compete with fellow freshmen Emanuel Ruffin and Jamir Perez for the sixth DT spot on the three-deep behind James Smith, Eddrick Houston, Jason Moore, John Walker and Will Smith Jr.

If he develops well on and off the field as a freshman, Simeon's first real chance at playing time could come as a sophomore, though he’s more likely to contend for a starting job as an upperclassman.

Simeon could also play as a defensive end in three-man fronts given the versatility he demonstrated throughout his high school career, but defensive tackle will be his primary position for Ohio State.

2026-27 Ohio State Men's Basketball

But still a title downgrade from 'Asst HC'. Could be that Diebs doesn't want a 'coach in waiting' looking over his shoulder? Anyone know how good a recruiter this guy is? With all the tall timber we're getting in, hope he's a 'big guy' coach. Does anyone have a handle on Asst Coach teaching assignments? Don't know if there's a position scheme or not. Thanks in advance.

Ohio State Men's Lacrosse (2025 B1G Champs)

Four Buckeyes Named USA Lacrosse All-Americans​

Four members of the Ohio State men's lacrosse team were named All-Americans by USA Lacrosse Thursday.

All four players recognized – Cullen Brown, Blake Eiland, Kyle Foster and Caleb Fyock – were members of the Buckeyes' No. 1 ranked defense.

Brown, a senior close defenseman, is a first team honoree this year after earning the honorable mention nod in 2025. The 2026 Big Ten Men's Lacrosse Defensive Player of the Year and First Team All-Big Ten performer led Ohio State with 31 caused turnovers this season and finished his Buckeye career as the program's season and career caused turnover record holder. The Silver Spring, Md. native grabbed 56 ground balls in 2026, good for second on the team.

Fyock was named to the third team this season. The junior goalie earned nine wins in 2026 and is second in the country with a 7.73 goals-against average in 2026. Fyock averaged 8.57 saves per game and finished the season with a Big Ten-best save percentage of .556.

Eiland was a starting short stick defensive midfielder for the Buckeyes in 2026, finishing the season with 17 ground balls and three caused turnovers in 11 games played. He was a key part of the team's play in transition, helping the team to a second-ranked clearing percentage (.919).

Foster started alongside Brown at close defense and recorded 12 ground balls and 11 caused turnovers on the year. He tied for third on the team in caused turnovers and helped the Buckeyes hold opponents to single digit goals in 12 of 14 games played last season.
