“However long it takes, I'm just grateful for the opportunity to be here,” St. Clair said during Ohio State’s media day before the Cotton Bowl. “I'm learning a ton of things behind Julian this year. So just continuing to grow and continuing to add things to my value that I can add to my skill set from Julian's game and from Lincoln (Kienholz)'s game and from Coach Day's knowledge and Coach Fess' knowledge, I'm just really excited to learn and continue to grow for my journey.”

“Tavien is someone that really has to step up for us,” Ryan Day said on his radio show in January. “He's going to have to be right there behind Julian and be ready to go. The schedule that we're playing next year, as you guys know, you've seen what it looks like, and so Tavien's got to really take the next step.”

“We see the talent. We know that he can throw it. He's big and strong and all those things. So this offseason will be critical for him,” Day said. “He did a great job (in 2025) of going down to the scout team, competing, going against the best defense in the country every day in practice. So all that stuff really is going to add up to having a big spring and preseason for him.”

“It all goes back to the reason I committed here in the first place. I felt like the development at the quarterback position was the best in the country,” St. Clair said. “If you stick to the process and you stay consistent here, good things will happen for you in the back end. And it's been really fun, really exciting to be a part of what Julian's been able to experience this year, and we're just really looking forward to seeing his growth over the next part of his journey.”

Ohio State adds more elite talent to spring guest list

The No. 1 WR prospect in the 2027 class scheduled an upcoming official visit with the Buckeyes.

Ohio State continues to identify talent in the 2027 recruiting cycle that the coaching staff believes could make for future Buckeyes. On Monday, the Buckeyes identified another blue-chip prospect when they presented four-star tight end Mason Oglesby (New Palestine, IN / New Palestine) with an official scholarship offer.

Interestingly, the offer comes just days after Oglesby announced his top six schools which included Indiana, Kansas, Missouri, Purdue, North Carolina and USC. While it may be late in Oglesby’s recruitment for Ohio State to be just now entering, there is no denying the Ohio State offer comes with a certain level of prestige that Oglesby would be tough to ignore.

Ohio State has its work cut out in this one, if it is going to jump some of his other finalists, but Ryan Day and the Ohio State coaching staff have pulled off crazier things.

Oglesby is the No. 19 ATH in the 247Sports Composite and he is the No. 344 national recruit. He is also the No. 8 recruit out of Indiana.

Top Performers​

Mitchell Melton, DE, Virginia​

45 tackles, 10 TFL, 5 sacks, 3 FF, 1 INT, 3 PBU

No Ohio State transfer had a better year in 2025 than Melton, who took full advantage of his one and only opportunity to be a starter at the collegiate level. After battling injuries and playing sparingly in five years at Ohio State, Melton emerged as one of the ACC’s top defensive ends at Virginia.

Pro Football Focus graded Melton as the 20th-best defensive end in the FBS (85.8). Also per PFF, Melton tied for the 15th-most quarterback pressures among FBS defensive ends in 2025. He earned ACC Defensive Lineman of the Week honors in back-to-back weeks after leading Virginia to a pair of overtime wins with seven tackles and a forced fumble vs. Florida State and two sacks with another forced fumble, a pass breakup and five total tackles at Louisville.

LB Cincere Johnson (Official Thread)

Login to view embedded media
Johnson has the speed to drop into coverage and the size and physicality to create havoc in the run gaps and backfield when called upon. Whether it's on the ball or off of it, the linebacker has the athleticism to make plays all over the field.

When it comes to chasing down an opposing ballcarrier, Johnson not only has the instincts and quickness to chase the player down, but the explosiveness and hard-hitting ability to create turnovers as well.

While he must improve his tactics as a pass-rusher, Johnson will be a do-it-all linebacker once that happens. His physicality, athleticism and proven playmaking ability should turn him into a lethal player and the next star linebacker for Ohio State.
