Rich kids like Arthur are often not the sharpest bulb in the shed because they never had to work for anything. No pressure at school to get A's, no reason to do the work it takes to grow as a person. Mike Brown, e.g. Hopefully he'll turn out to be much more effective than Tim Beck, at least.

The boys…

I’m excited for this guy. Different size and he plays mean too

Two thoughts:

Video needs yakkety sax (Benny Hill chase music).

Ohio is lucky that Florida and Oklahoma exist to draw attention from the amount of idiocy that occurs in Ohio.

That's funny because I got a reservation for this weekend. My son and I went to the Ohio State - Texas game and we got there SUPER early. (I never know how early to leave or predict the traffic.) The stadium scoreboard had an ad for this. So I got home and looked into it, and made this our Christmas gift to a bunch of the family.
I'm hoping it's as awesome as I want it to be.

So-so book, too much emphasis on his religion and not enough on football. He did indicate why he ended up in New Orleans in lieu of Miami. In the end New Orleans was the only team that offered him a contract for QB1 money. Every other team that had made an offer, it was for QB2 money. Originally Miami had offered QB1 money too; however, they pulled that offer in favor of one with QB2 money "at the last minute".

Please let this mean Hafley wants Buckeyes on his roster!

Wiltfong reiterates his stance that OSU is setting the pace for 5* RB DGG and 5* Edge Chris Whitehead. DGG locks in his OV for 5/29, and Whitehead schedules his spring visit for 4/3-4/4.

DT Marcus Fakatou sets an OV to OSU on 5/29.
He’s a priority for LJ and one of only 5 DT’s that he visited in Jan (Karlos May, Braylon Parks, Maleek Lee, and Brewster being the others). “Current” state we are probably running 4th or 5th here. But he’s never visited before, so certainly can move up. I really think landing a high-end DT is the most importantly position left this cycle. I really hope we spend up for someone like we were willing to do with Jacobs.

Biggins note on him setting up OV’s:

Ohio State is surging a bit here. Last time I talked with him a few weeks ago, the schools he said would get his first official trips were Texas, Georgia and Michigan. Now Ohio State is set and he'll take an unofficial there in March as well.

He looks jacked in both. Not even sure if there's much difference tbh.

5* WR Braylon Clark schedules a visit for April 1. This will be his 3rd visit to OSU already.
The dream class would be him paired with 5* Jett Harrison.

Ohio State President goes rogue against Big Ten proposed CFP expansion plan​

Ohio State's president is not on board with what the Big Ten wants to do with the College Football Playoff.



The Ohio State football program has benefited from every change in the College Football Playoff. They have won both the first four-team Playoff and the first 12-team Playoff. The Buckeyes have done well every time that they decide to expand the race for a national championship.

College football has decided that they need to expand the Playoff pool once again. It's something that athletic departments seem to want because of how much more money they would be able to make by adding more teams to the tournament. The SEC wants 16 teams while the Big Ten wants 24.

Ted Carter, the President of the Ohio State Buckeyes, doesn't like what the Big Ten is proposing. In fact, it doesn't sound like he supports expanding the CFP at all. He let that be known in a recent interview, claiming that 12 teams is the ideal number of teams for the CFP.

Ohio State president goes against BIg Ten's CFP expansion plan​

In a recent interview, Carter let it be known that he likes the 12-team CFP.

"I'm a little bit like a lot of fans. We don't need more teams. Let's go back to the old format when there were only four teams in it. If you're Ohio State, and you're one of the four, your odds are a heck of a lot better, right? So with 12, if we can get the scheduling down right, that's going to make us competitive. But I do believe there is going to be some level of expansion."

Ohio State football team had future NFL Draft prospect playing the wrong sport​

The Buckeyes had this prospect playing a completely different sport when he was on campus.



No other program has as many defensive prospects that will be drafted in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft as the Ohio State football program. They will likely have four players drafted in the first round. There's an outside chance that side of the ball sees six players drafted that high.

The Buckeyes were one of the best teams in the country this past season. They started the season 12-0 before falling apart in the final two weeks. Oklahoma made the 12-team College Football Playoff for the first time. Owen Heinecke was a key member of the Sooners' defense.

Heinecke started his career with the Ohio State Buckeyes, but he wasn't on the football team. In fact, he played lacrosse with the Buckeyes for one season before transferring to Oklahoma to be a preferred walk-on. Heinecke let everyone know how close he was to playing football for the Buckeyes.

Owen Heinecke asked about joining the Ohio State football program​

Heinecke explained the process of going through his time at Ohio State and whether or not he thought about playing football for the Buckeyes.

"I did. Unfortunately, they were taking my lacrosse scholarship because I was stepping away from lacrosse, and out-of-state tuition was just a little bit too much for me and my family."

Instead, Heinecke ended up transferring back home to Oklahoma to play football. He only entered the draft because the NCAA denied his waiver to play an additional year with the Sooners. They deemed the year he played lacrosse counted as a year of eligibility.

Now, Heinecke will try to get drafted out of Oklahoma. Had he played football for the Buckeyes, it would have been hard for him to see the field. Both Arvell Reese and Sonny Styles are going to be first-round picks, so it would have been hard for him to play snaps ahead of either player.

Heinecke only started one year in his collegiate career, totaling 74 tackles, three sacks, and a forced fumble in 2025.
