LGHL Ohio State could have 2 Top 10 2017 NFL Draft picks

Ohio State could have 2 Top 10 2017 NFL Draft picks

Still developed here.

“With two first-round picks this year, the Titans can be big movers to acquire more assets. Moving down a few picks in the top 10 could allow the Titans to get either the first wide receiver or cornerback, or go after an elite coverage safety like [Malik] Hooker.”

-Dan Kadar, SB Nation


It’s no secret that Urban Meyer and Ohio State football have turned having monster NFL Draft classes into a regular occurrence. An arguably bigger recruiting tool than even winning a national championship, OSU should be well on track to render all kinds of fire-emoji-worthy social media “edits” (think flyers) this upcoming late April.

SBNation.com’s Dan Kadar likes the Buckeyes to sport two top 10 picks this year with superstud safety Malik Hooker potentially going No. 8 overall and secondary mate corner Marshon Lattimore pegged to go two spots after.

Fellow corner Gareon Conley, who some teams reportedly have higher on their draft boards than Lattimore, is also projected to go in the first round by Kadar. Fifth place in the Heisman Trophy voting Michigan linebacker/safety Jabrill Peppers is pegged to go No. 19 in Kadar’s latest.

-United States Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association USILA/NIKE 2017 Division I Coaches Poll, Week 2


Just because Ohio State men’s basketball’s turned into a near hopeless product doesn’t mean there isn’t a men’s team in Columbus worth emotionally investing in.

The men’s lacrosse team’s off to a hot start at 3-0, having outlasted UMass, 8-7, over the weekend.

No. 20 for the second straight week, the men’s lax Bucks have Jacksonville in Columbus this coming Saturday before traveling to Milwaukee to face Marquette the following Friday.

It’ll be hard for Nick Myers’ Buckeyes to not look too far ahead; they’ve got a date with No. 1 Denver set for Saturday, March 19.

Ohio State QB J.T. Barrett’s Heisman odds went from 6/1 less than a month ago to 12/1 today because ... ?

It’s hard to get too excited either way, given that his previous odds were mostly predicated on the idea that new QB coach Ryan Day (he of saving Colin Kaepernick’s career fame) and co-offensive coordinator Kevin Wilson represented a possible late-in-college-career renaissance for the quarterback who struggled to maintain much consistency passing the past two seasons.

Though you’d have to be of a particularly pessimistic predisposition to not think Wilson’s offense won’t breath new life into an OSU offensive depth chart that desperately needs it, it’s hard to know for certain how that specifically impacts Barrett’s star.

Given that Barrett finished in the same place in voting the aforementioned Peppers did three short years ago, it’s not hard to imagine a return to form if everything goes according to plan. Whether or not it’s Heisman good, we’ll have to wait and see.

The Buckeyes dealt out offers to numerous top prospects over the weekend.

Before you can become an All-American or hear your name get called during the NFL Draft you first have to earn a scholarship offer from a college football program.

Over the weekend a trio of top prospects from the class of 2018 received an opportunity to continue the next step of their football dreams in Columbus, Ohio at The Ohio State University.

3-star DE Daniel Carson


Town: Independence,MO/William Chrisman

Size: 6’5/260

Other Offers: Georgia, Iowa, Iowa State, Nebraska, Oklahoma, etc

The Skinny: While Carson isn’t as highly rated as some of the other prospects on the Buckeyes board at the moment, it doesn’t take long to see why he’s starting to pop up on programs radar. With good size, speed off the line, and the frame to add more weight, Carson, who racked up 56 total tackles and 13 quarterback sacks as a junior, shows the kind of raw potential Urban Meyer and other college coaches love to mold into all around players.


Blessed to say that I received my 10th offer from the University of Ohio State. #GOBUCKEYES @DemetricDWarren ⚪pic.twitter.com/7vnx6VI5B8

— Daniel Carson ® (@sports__finest) February 17, 2017
3-star RB Tavion Thomas


Town: Dayton,OH/Dunbar

Size: 6’2/225

Other Offers: Alabama, Arizona State, Georgia, Michigan State, Wisconsin, etc

The Skinny: One of the hottest class of 2018 prospects on the market, Thomas picked up his scholarship offer from the Buckeyes staff on Saturday afternoon during a visit to the Ohio State University campus. Like the aforementioned Carson, Thomas should be inline to watch his rating skyrocket in the coming weeks after recently earning numerous impressive offers.

Seeing time on both sides of the ball at Dunbar, Thomas is mostly known for his big play ability as a high school running back. Last season as a junior, he used his solid speed and instincts to rush for over 1,600 yards and 17 touchdowns to help the Wolverines finish the year off with an overall record of 7-3.


Truly truly blessed to receive my 18 offer from thee University of Ohio State#GoBuckeyes really amazing coaches @CoachTonyAlford pic.twitter.com/Nd82YE8r0W

— lackofworries (@tavionthomas937) February 18, 2017
4-star ATH Jordyn Adams


Town: Cary,NC/Green Hope

Size: 6’2/175

Other Offers: Alabama, Clemson, Indiana, North Carolina, TCU, etc

The Skinny: A high school quarterback, Adams will more than likely make the switch to wide receiver on the college level. A threat to score nearly every time the football is in his hands, the speedster accounted for over 3,100 total yards of offense, and 35 touchdowns for Blythewood (SC) before transferring after the season.

Sometimes football just runs in your blood. That is definitely a fact with Jordyn. Born into the game, his father Deke Adams, a longtime college assistant, is currently on the staff at the University of North Carolina as the defensive line coach.


Very excited & thankful to receive an offer from Ohio State University! ⭕pic.twitter.com/dkqi75dnwS

3-star OL John Campbell


Town: Orlando,FL/Dr. Phillips

Size: 6’5/290

Other Offers: Alabama, Auburn, Florida, Miami, Tennessee, etc

The Skinny: With 30 scholarship offers now currently on the table, it might be pretty difficult to get Campbell to head to far away from the Sunshine state, but that won’t keep Meyer and the Ohio State coaching staff from trying to get him to call Columbus his future home.

Always looking to land the next John Hicks, Korey Stringer, Orlando Pace or LeCharles Bentley, the Buckeyes reportedly offered the standout lineman on Sunday evening.

A big time blocker, he and the rest of the line at Dr. Phillips helped pave the way for the Panthers to reach over 4,500 yards of total offense last season.

Quick Hits

  • The football squad weren’t the only Buckeyes program to dish out a scholarship offer over the weekend. On Saturday, Thad Matta and the Ohio State basketball coaching staff offered 2019 four-star guard Jeremiah Francis. The 6-foot-3 Pickerington Central sophomore is the son of former OSU standout and one time Tigers head coach Jerry Francis.
  • Per Ryan Bartow of 247Sports, Ohio State is one of over 30 schools to reach out to Clemson graduate transfer Scott Pagano. A defensive tackle with one year of eligibility left, Pagano finished his career with the Tigers with over 90 total tackles.

Ohio State Baseball Season Opening Series

OSU drop rematch with K-State

KISSIMMEE, Fla. – Fifth-year senior right-hander Jake Post scattered two runs on five hits in six innings of work, but the Ohio State baseball team was edged by Kansas State, 3-2, Sunday afternoon to conclude play at the 2017 Sunshine State Classic Series in Kissimmee, Fla. The Wildcats (3-1) plated the go-ahead run in the top of the eighth and held on to the one-run lead for the victory as the Buckeyes fall to 2-2 on the season.

“Losses are never good, but it was our first time out this weekend and we did a lot of positive things,” head coach Greg Beals said. “The shining light on the day for me was Jake Post. It was great to see him back on the mound and he gave us a quality start. We need to work on our quality at-bats and be more prepared defensively. We need to get better at the little things and we will.”
