LB Coach James Laurinaitis (2x B1G DPOY, 2006 Nagurski, 2007 Butkus, 2008 Lott, 3x All-American, OSU HOF, National Champion)

Has a legit chance to become the next "Hartline" for the Buckeyes in terms of recruiting and development prowess. This years LB both going on the first round, maybe Hicks in the next draft and Petijohn and Pierce behind them along with Lee in development mode, the system is on blast.

Penn State, Matt Campbell Given Update on Rocco Becht Transfer​

Head coach Matt Campbell of the Iowa State Cyclones celebrates with quarterback Rocco Becht #3 of the Iowa State Cyclones after Becht scored a touchdown in the second half of play against the Arizona Wildcats at Jack Trice Stadium on September 27, 2025, in Ames, Iowa. The Iowa State Cyclones won 39-14 over the Arizona Wildcats

Penn State Nittany Lions head coach Matt Campbell is still building out his roster for the upcoming season, and some of his former Iowa State players could be joining him soon.

Campbell's former quarterback, Rocco Becht, has decided to enter the transfer portal, a move that came as a bit of a surprise given that he spent his entire college career with the Cyclones.

Becht was a redshirt during his freshman year, though he has been the starter over the past three years, during which he has won 26 games as the lead signal caller.

He will be entering his redshirt senior campaign, and given his experience in the Big 12, the quarterback projects to have a robust market, with teams that would kill for a proven commodity amid the uncertainty that this the position play can bring.

Still, Becht and Penn State seem like a match made in heaven — the player will get a notable payday to play under his longtime coach and a massive college program.

Just sayin':
1. Maybe Grunkemeyer is worried that Campbell might want "his guy" to be QB1 at Penn State.
1. Maybe Grunkemeyer thinks Iowa State QB Rocco Becht (who is in transfer portal) is planning on transferring to Penn State.
I can see Grunkemeyer exploring options for sure…..possibly MSU or Cincinnati (where his close friend from Olentangy, TE Gavin Grover, plays).

Miami (FL) Hurricanes (1926-2003)

Yeah, if you look at the backups on a lot of NFL teams, it's like a who's who of guys that were once highly recruited guys or good system college QBs(i.e. Jake Browning, Jeff Driskel, Case Keenum, Stetson Bennett). Find the right system and you can ride it out following a coach and/or coordinator to multiple spots
I think it’s basically just guys who are good at learning and executing complicated playbooks. Gimmicks don’t work long term in the NFL, offensive coordinators want to be able to call all their plays. They’ll sacrifice raw talent for guys who know the playbook almost every time, from my limited observations.

2025-2026 Ohio State Men's Basketball

ZERO excuses if they lose to Rutgers on Friday, this is a must win game, if they lose it makes the already uphill climb at a chance to stumble into the tourney much much steeper. Rutgers is a terrible team who's lost to Central Connecticut State (at home) by 13 and just needed a last second 3 to beat Penn. I'd argue a loss here should start a hot fire under Diebler's seat.

If you haven't yet seen this documentary on the Championship run, you need to check this out. Gee is one of the central parts to the story. Go Bucks!

LB Kaden Henderson says OSU, Bama, and FSU standing out and will for sure get an OV. He’ll take all OVs and make a summer decision. I just don’t see this one happening. He’s visited all over the country this fall every weekend, but never made it up to OSU. We shall see…

AG wrote this am Lil Animal has been making Kaden Henderson a priority recruit….this could solidify Laurenitis taking the mantle over from Hartline if can nail this one…
