Better Know a Buckeye: Khmari Bing's Range and Playmaking Ability in the Open Field Could Make Him a Prototypical Safety in Ohio State's Defense

162723_h.jpg

Depth Chart Outlook​

While Bing played all over the secondary in high school, he is projected to be a safety at Ohio State.

Jaylen McClain, Terry Moore, Leroy Roker III and fellow freshman Blaine Bradford will likely take up the two-deep at the deep safety positions this season. Bing is competing for position behind them with fellow freshmen Simeon Caldwell and Kaden Gebhardt and redshirt freshman Deshawn Stewart, among others.

As McClain is a candidate to enter the 2027 NFL draft while Moore is a fifth-year senior, Bing could contend for legitimate playing time entering his second season as a Buckeye in 2027 if he develops well and impresses in practice as a freshman.

Game Thread Illinois at tOSU, Sat. Sept. 26, TBA

Ohio State Linebackers Coach, College Football Hall of Famer James Laurinaitis to Ring Victory Bell Before Illinois Game

162772_h.jpg


“The Victory Bell was built in 1954 so that everybody in the area could hear when the Buckeyes won. Not everybody could get to the stadium; they didn't have as much TV and radio, there was not as much coverage as what you see, no TikTok back in 1954. So people in the area, when they heard the bell ring, they knew the Buckeyes won. It was a big deal,” Day said while speaking to official visitors and their families inside Ohio Stadium. “Then we started a tradition last year that we have some of our former players come back and ring the victory bell before a game. And next year, before the Illinois game, Coach Laurinaitis, who's being inducted to the College Football Hall of Fame, is going to ring the Victory Bell before that game.”

2027 OH OL Kellen Wymer is a Buckeye!!!

If he's dunking at 6'5", then either the hoop has been lowered, or he's a heckuva athlete. Was 6'5", and only 190 lbs in HS, and still could only occasionally stuff the ball. Am guessing the hoop is still 10', and the athletes of today are bigger, better, faster, and have more hops. Glad to see the human race is getting better.

These 2 are both 6'5. It looks like you didn't have the hops and athleticism, lol. No shade, I'm 5'10 and could only dream of just stuffing the ball :lol:

And he's 6'2 Lincoln Kienholz getting up

The Jerome Schottenstein Center (Official Thread)

Heck, where do I sign up for a tour of this edifice? What with all the hidden practice courts (must be several), for both mens and womens, plus training areas, locker rooms, juice bar for the athletes etc, it's a maze. PS, have noticed the food served during the games has improved. Some of the 'game day decisions' was pretty darn good. PS, when you pick the shortest line, you get what you deserve.....

2026 tOSU Offense Discussion


THE BEST IN THE B1G. Ohio State was well-represented in Phil Steele’s preseason All-American teams, with preseason National Offensive Player of the Year Jeremiah Smith, Julian Sayin, Austin Siereveld, Luke Montgomery, Earl Little Jr. and Dalton Riggs all earning recognition.

Phil Steele Preseason All-Big Ten
First Team Second Team Third Team Fourth Team
RB Bo Jackson QB Julian Sayin C Carson Hinzman K Connor Hawkins
WR Jeremiah Smith OG Luke Montgomery OT Phillip Daniels
OT Austin Siereveld DT John Walker DE Qua Russaw
S Earl Little Jr. LB Payton Pierce DE Kenyatta Jackson Jr.
LS Dalton Riggs CB Devin Sanchez LB Christian Alliegro
Ohio State placing four offensive linemen across the first three teams — Siereveld, Montgomery, Carson Hinzman and Phillip Daniels — stands out as a major indicator of what could be a dominant unit up front. If that group comes to fruition in 2026, the Buckeyes will be a problem for everyone.

Just sayin':
1. should be interesting to see what the new OC can do with these guys.
2. I would have thought Hinzman would be higher than 3rd team.
3. Wonder if Tegra Tshabola would have made at least 3rd team OG had he stayed
4. Conner Hawkins has to be an upgrade on Special Teams. Dalton Riggs must be the "real deal" too.
Should be the best OL we've had in quite some time, or close to it. I think just about any OL would get dunked on by Indiana and Miami's defensive fronts in the form they were at come playoff time. They'll be better for it.

Ohio State Women's Ice Hockey (2022, 2026 WCHA Champions, 2022, 2024 National Champions)

Make the Case: Nadine Muzerall is the best Ohio State coach so far this century

Muzerall has led Ohio State women’s hockey to the Frozen Four each of the last six seasons.

Ohio State has employed a lot of great coaches so far this century.

It all started with Jim Tressel leading the football team to an undefeated season and national title in 2002. A little more than a decade later Urban Meyer and the Buckeyes won the first-ever College Football Playoff.

Now Ryan Day is in charge of the program. Day already has earned a national championship and with the way he has built the program it looks like he could win a couple more before he leaves Columbus.

On the basketball court, Thad Matta built Ohio State into one of the best programs in the country, going to the Final Four twice, and making the title game in 2007.

Wrestling has Tom Ryan, who won a national title in 2015. Ty Tucker is in charge of the tennis program, posting over 700 wins in 26 seasons as coach, winning the Big Ten Coach of the Year award 18 times.

There are a number of other coaches who have posted some incredible accomplishments during their time in charge of Buckeye squads.

For as great as all those coaches mentioned have been at Ohio State, they all take a back seat to women’s ice hockey coach Nadine Muzerall.

LB Darron Lee (yikes)

Ex-NFL linebacker Darron Lee indicted on murder charge

Former NFL linebacker Darron Lee has been indicted on a murder charge in the death of his partner.

A grand jury in Hamilton County returned an indictment Tuesday. Prosecutors dismissed a tampering with evidence charge to focus solely on the more serious allegation, Hamilton County District Attorney Coty Wamp said.

The state is pursuing a first-degree murder conviction, which carries a life sentence. The decision on whether to pursue the death penalty against Lee will be made in the coming weeks, Wamp said.

Lee is accused of killing Gabriella Perpetuo, 29, in February. A medical examiner listed Perpetuo's cause of death as multiple blunt force injuries, and the autopsy report listed 12 different injuries, including multiple hematomas, bone fractures and stab wounds.

At the time of Lee's arrest, he was on probation in Franklin County, Ohio, and Alachua County, Florida, after he was charged in three separate alleged assaults involving another man, Lee's mother and the mother of his child, court records showed.

Prosecutors accused Lee of asking ChatGPT how to get medical help without calling the police. He asked the artificial intelligence assistant whether a fall could cause bruising to two eyes and "two stabby looking wounds," according to evidence presented in court.

Lee remains in the Hamilton County Jail without bond.
