tOSU Football Walk Ons (Official Thread)

Ohio State adds Presbyterian transfer wide receiver Shawn Lodge as preferred walk-on​

Ohio State has added Presbyterian transfer wide receiver Shawn Lodge to its 2024 roster. The Akron, Ohio, native and St. Vincent St. Mary product announced his commitment to the Buckeyes Friday.

He will join the team as a preferred walk-on after spending the first two seasons of his career at Presbyterian College, an FCS school in Clinton, South Carolina.

Lodge appeared in all 11 of Presbyterian’s games last season at both wide receiver and kick/punt returner. In the process, he piled up 260 all-purpose yards. He caught nine passes for 120 yards, including a long of 28 yards at Butler last September.

The 6-foot wideout also made an impact as a returner. He ran back a team-high 13 punts, averaging 3.15 yards per return while ripping off a long of 39 yards against Virginia-Lynchburg in the home opener. Lodge ranked second on the team in kickoff returns with nine — he averaged just 11 yards per kick return and logged a long of 22 yards.

2025 NJ ATH Quincy Porter (Verbal Offer)

I think Vernell Brown stays in Florida but Ffrench signs with the good guys. I don’t think a lot of people know or understand just how good Porter is… SEVERAL east coast people in the know have gone on record as to saying Porter is a generational talent. It’s one thing for a singular person to say something like that that yiu couod easily chalk up as Simple exaggeration. But when multiple people go on record using that same phrase, that grabs my attention.

I’m going to predict Hartline goes ham this cycle and we end up with these four in the ‘25 WR recruiting class…

1) De’Zie Jones
2) Quincy Porter
3) Jaime Ffrench
4) Dakorien Moore

2 Jersey kids to go along with Ffrench and Moore. My dream class from the very beginning was Kaliq Lockett instead of Jones along with those other 3, and then after Lockett faded, Boggs Decommited, and Bill Green hyped up Vernell Brown… my top 4 would have Brown replacing Jones who I was surprised they took so early with all these top guys still unsigned.
I still think OSU can land Brown, there will be articles contradicting themselves for months, and I can just as easily see Brown replacing Porter. Though I like having a bigger WR in the room like Porter.

High School FL (NV) WR Eric McFarland (Verbal Offer)

I know its crazy to see a 2028 offer, but this kid is a blur on the field! Reminds me of Zacharriah Branch. Its going to interesting to watch him go through HS, especially living so far away from home, and playing the competition that he's going to face(in practice and with their national schedule). Always trust Hartline

'24 UT PG John Paul Mobley is a Buckeye!!!

Mobley also got recognized for being the top shooter in the class by 247.

I realize Chatman is also a good shooter, but I believe Mobley will overtake him in the rotation simply based on seeing the problems Chatman had with turnovers last season, as his turnover rate was almost double the next-worst player on the team. I see Mobley as having the inside track to making the rotation.

2026 GA DL Daverin “Deuce” Geralds II (Verbal Offer)

Givler really likes Geralds to OSU. A lot of interesting commonalities with the Buckeyes:
Assistant D-Line coach LaAllan Clark went to the same high school as Geralds' father
Newly hired DL Program Asst Brandon Jordan is also from the same area as Geralds' father and played against him in the Arena League
Caleb Downs' father, Gary, goes over to Collins Hill each week to read devotional passages to the team.

I think we can start warming up those nanners

NCAA - slowly ruining football (rules changes - merged)

Just sayin': Eliminating walk-ons would be a bad thing......
b95rant.gif
Agreed.
Plus, isn't there some Title IX thing where schools have to have a percentage of female students on scholarship? Maybe this wouldn't affect that, since there'll be more scholarship baseball players.

But yeah. "Let's limit the number of opportunities for the students. Let's limit the choices the schools can make."

Blow it up. This REALLY ought to be the final straw. Disband the NCAA!
Wait for M*ch*gan to get their punishment. Then disband it.
