The Buckeye cornerback is hoping to be a high draft pick.

One of the featured members of the Ohio State secondary, Marshon Lattimore has decided to skip his final two seasons of eligibility and declare for the 2017 NFL Draft.


Lattimore finished the 2016 season with 38 total tackles and 4 interceptions, including one pick-6. The redshirt sophomore started the year off strong, claiming 2 interceptions in Week 2 against Tulsa, and added another in Week 3 against Oklahoma.

The corner had previously sat behind a talented group of defensive backs that are now suiting up in the NFL. Despite having only one strong season under his belt, Lattimore is the just the latest argument for calling Ohio State “DBU”.

One scouting profile notes Lattimore’s draft-worthy talent:


In the final game of his Ohio State career, Lattimore had three tackles in the tough loss to the Clemson Tigers. He becomes the third member of the Buckeyes’ decorated 2016 secondary to enter the draft early, joining safety Malik Hooker and fellow corner Gareon Conley.

Let’s revisit all of our preseason Ohio State and college football predictions
Matt Brown via our friends at Land-Grant Holy Land
Visit their fantastic blog and read the full article (and so much more) here


Actually .... We did a pretty good job this year!

So before the season started, we polled everybody who writes for this website about all sorts of college football questions, from who will rush for the most yards for Ohio State, to who will win the College Football Playoff.

Now that the season is over, it seems only fair to take a look back to see how we did, and either pat ourselves on the back, or shame ourselves publicly for being dumb.

Who will lead Ohio State in rushing this season?


Mike Weber: 83.3%

Actually: Yeah, it was Mike Weber, who picked up 1,096 yards J.T. Barrett was second, with 845.

Who will lead Ohio State in receiving yardage this season?


Noah Brown: 66.7%

Actually: Noah Brown was second, with 405 yards, but it wasn’t especially close. Curtis Samuel led the team with 865 yards. Not one voter predicted that. Whoops!

What true freshman do you think will have the biggest impact this season?


Michael Jordan: 10 votes

Actually: Yeah, it was probably Michael Jordan, who started every game. Nick Bosa had a nice season for himself, too.

Which Buckeye that nobody is talking about will step up to make the biggest impact (non-freshman edition)?


Chris Worley: 3 votes

Dontre Wilson: 3 votes

Marshon Lattimore: 3 votes

Actually: Lattimore seems like an acceptable answer, but the true answer is almost assuredly Malik Hooker.

Which game this season scares you the most?


Oklahoma: 66.7%

Actually: Just two people picked Penn State. Looks like they were right.

What will Ohio State's regular season record be?


11-1: 55.6%

Actually: Hey, how about that! It was 11-1.

How will Ohio State's season end?


First round playoff exist: 10 votes

Actually: Maybe we’re getting pretty good at this after all.

How many Ohio State coaches will leave for other jobs after the season?


One coach will leave: 50%

Actually: Three. Tim Beck is off to Texas, and Luke Fickell is the new coach at Cincinnati. And then, of course, Ed Warinner left to take the offensive line job at Minnesota.

Please list your predicted order of finish in the Big Ten East (Top to bottom)


7 points for a 1st place vote, 6 for a 2nd, etc

Ohio State: 121 points (13 first place votes)

Michigan: 111 (5)

Michigan State: 89

Penn State: 71

Indiana: 47

Maryland: 34

Rutgers: 28

Actually: Penn State, Ohio State, Michigan, Indiana, Maryland, Michigan State, Rutgers. Okay, so we didn’t see Michigan State coming. But neither did you.

Please list your predicted order of finish in the Big Ten West (Top to Bottom)


Iowa: 111 points (7 first place votes)

Nebraska: 102 (5)

Wisconsin: 89 (3)

Northwestern: 76 (2)

Illinois: 44

Minnesota: 63 (1)

Purdue: 19

Actually: Wisconsin, Iowa, Nebraska, Minnesota, Northwestern, Illinois, Purdue. Well, at least we got Purdue pretty well figured out.

What Big Ten team is most likely to surpass expectations this year?


Michigan State: 3

Actually: The answer here is either Penn State or Wisconsin, but in a manner of speaking, Michigan State certainly did too. FWIW, two voters picked Penn State, and another two picked Wisconsin.

Who in the Big Ten is most likely to wildly disappoint?


Michigan: 8

Actually: Michigan State, who got a single vote. Haters, all of us.

Who is your Big Ten Offensive Player of the Year?


J.T. Barrett: 14 votes

Actually: Saquon Barkley, Penn State, who got two votes, including one of mine.

Who is your Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year?


Jabrill Peppers: 6 votes

Actually: Yes, this prediction was correct, but that doesn’t mean we have to like it.

Who is your Big Ten Coach of the Year?


Urban Meyer: 6 votes

Actually: Lol at us for thinking an Ohio State coach would actually win this. Paul Chryst and James Franklin split the award with the media and coaches. Both did do great jobs this year at least.

Which team in the preseason AP Poll Top 10 is most likely to disappoint?


Tennessee: 6 votes

Actually: I mean, Tennessee was a really good guess, but the true answer (and one that got three votes), was Notre Dame. In case you forgot, Notre Dame finished 4-8.

Which team in the preseason AP Poll 11-25 range do you see as having the best chance of making the playoffs?


TCU: 8 votes

Actually: Nope, wasn’t TCU. That would be No. 14 Washington, who did, in fact, make the Playoff.

Which team outside the Top 25 do you see a potential sleeper?


Texas: 3 votes

Miami: 3 votes

Actually: Nope and nope. Wisconsin.

Which team outside of the Power 5 and Houston do you see as the most dangerous?


Boise State: 6 votes

Actually: Should have been Western Michigan, who actually won the Group of 5 bid and came within a shout of upsetting Wisconsin in the Cotton Bowl.

Who is the highest profile coach that's going to get axed this year?


Gus Malzahn: 4 votes

Actually: Only one of the people that got a vote actually got fired, and that was Charlie Strong (three votes). We’re not as good at predicting these evidently.

Who is winning the Heisman Trophy?


Deshaun Watson: 9 votes

Actually: Louisville’s Lamar Jackson, who didn’t get a single vote from our field.

Who are your four playoff teams?

Clemson: 14

Ohio State: 12

Alabama: 10

LSU: 8

TCU: 8

Actually: I mean, three out of four is pretty good, isn’t it? We whiffed on Washington, who didn’t get a single vote. Houston and Oregon got two each. Whoops.

Who is going to win the national title?

Clemson: 8 votes

Actually: WELL HOW ABOUT THAT?!

Ohio State receives commit, decommit in wild day on recruiting trail
Austin Kemp via our friends at Land-Grant Holy Land
Visit their fantastic blog and read the full article (and so much more) here


Sheffield, a former member of the Alabama Crimson Tide, commits to be a Buckeye; 4-star WR Lindsey decommits.

Sheffield commits


Ohio State received a commit from cornerback Kendall Sheffield on Tuesday. Sheffield, who was once a member of the Alabama football team, spent last fall at Blinn Junior College in Texas. What does this commitment mean? Sheffield is regarded as one of the best JUCO prospects in the country and most people expect him to make an immediate impact for the Buckeyes next season. Though Ohio State has pulled in an elite defensive back class for 2017, Sheffield’s experience is sure to help him win a starting spot opposite of Denzel Ward next year. If his on-field production matches the high expectations, don’t be surprised to see Sheffield as a one-and-done type of player. This was arguably the most important recruit the Buckeyes needed to sign heading into a 2017 season in which Ohio State will contend for a national championship. To read the full update on Sheffield’s commitment to Ohio State, click here.

Lindsey decommits


In the waning hours on Tuesday, as well as the early part on Wednesday, Buckeye football received more news: four-star wide receiver Tyjon Lindsey (Las Vegas, NV / Bishop Gorman) announced on Twitter his decommitment from OSU and reopening of his recruitment.


Lindsey, who came from the same high school as current Buckeye commit Tate Martell, is a U.S. Army All-America selection, as well as the No. 6 WR in the 2017 class.

About 90 minutes before announcing the reopening of his recruitment, Lindsey posted this tweet:


On the 247sports crystal ball predictions, Lindsey was considered an overwhelming favorite to become a Buckeye. OSU took 86 percent of the predictions, while the Nebraska Cornhuskers took eight percent. This season, the No. 1 WR had five receptions for 125 yards and two touchdowns—before suffering a knee injury.

For Tyjon, we hope for only the best in his recruitment and future endeavours.

The next member of Zone 6


2017 prospect Brendon White is already on campus at Ohio State. Listed as an athlete by most recruiting sites, questions arose as to what position White would play at the next level. For now, it looks as if White will be starting in the wide receiver room. With a slew of unproven playmakers returning at that position, it makes sense that Urban Meyer would like that position group to receive a bump in athleticism. Eric Glover-Williams was also moved from defensive back to H-back on Monday.

An offer that’s hard to refuse


Ohio State extended a walk-on offer to 2017 wide receiver Melvin Hill yesterday. Hill, from Alabama, was a standout at Baker High School this past fall. Though it will always be a challenge for walk-ons to get any run at a program like Ohio State, Hill does have good size at 6-foot-3 and checks in at 190 pounds. 247Sports has Hill as a two-star prospect. Hill is currently committed to UMass.

WR Tyjon Lindsey decommits from Ohio State

The Bishop Gorman product looks to be headed elsewhere

A big news day for Ohio State football got even bigger late Tuesday night, as four-star WR Tyjon Lindsey decommitted from Ohio State, per his Twitter account.


Lindsey committed to Ohio State on August 22nd, and is teammates at Las Vegas high school football powerhouse Bishop Gorman with fellow 2017 Buckeyes commits QB Tate Martell and DT Haskell Garrett.

Lindsey’s decommitment leaves Ohio State with only one wide receiver commitment in the class of 2017 in St. Thomas Aquinas product Trevon Grimes, though early enrollee Brendon White hinted at a move to ‘Zone 6’ on twitter earlier in the week.

The decommitment also knocks the Buckeyes back to No. 2 in the 247 Sports composite rankings, just hours after they had moved past Alabama for the top spot with the commitment of former Tide cornerback Kendall Sheffield.

Best of luck to Lindsey in the rest of his recruiting process and career.

Ohio State-Michigan State final score: Women’s basketball suffers first Big Ten loss, 94-75
Ben Martens via our friends at Land-Grant Holy Land
Visit their fantastic blog and read the full article (and so much more) here


Michigan State’s Tori Jankoska had a record-setting evening as the Spartans ran over the Buckeyes.

Ohio State women’s basketball found itself in a strange place on Tuesday night. The Buckeyes were on the business end of a beatdown at the hands of Michigan State, 94-75, at the Breslin Center in East Lansing.

Ohio State’s usually potent offense was flat from the outset, falling well short of its 89 point per game average, and shooting just 31 percent as a team. The Buckeyes, ranked 11th in the country, now find themselves 4-1 in conference play and 14-5 overall.

The game featured the Big Ten’s two leading scorers in Ohio State’s Kelsey Mitchell and Michigan State’s Tori Jankoska. To say Jankoska got the better of this matchup would be a severe understatement.

The senior from Freeland, Michigan became the Spartans’ all-time career scoring leader early in the first quarter, and her 42 points for the game also broke the program’s single-game mark. Jankoska was 14-for-25 from the field, including 8-for-19 from the three-point line, and also contributed six rebounds and seven assists.

Mitchell struggled with her shot, scoring just 13 points on 4-for-18 shooting, and was an uncharacteristically ineffective 1-for-7 from long range.

Kiara Lewis gave the Buckeyes a shot in the arm with 11 points off the bench, and Stephanie Mavunga did what we’ve come to expect from her, scoring nine points and grabbing 15 rebounds narrowly missing her eighth double-double of the season.

Jankoska made short work of reaching the career scoring record, scoring eight of Michigan State’s first 11 points within just three minutes of game time. Ripping nylon on a corner three, she passed Aerial Payne as the program’s preeminent scorer.

The Spartans employed a 2-3 zone early on that slowed Ohio State’s usually prodigious offense capabilities. The Buckeyes started 2-for-7 from the floor and turned the ball over twice, finding themselves in an 15-5 hole.

Ohio State responded with a 7-0 run to get back into contact, sparked by Makayla Waterman, who scored four quick points off the bench. The sophomore also set a solid screen to give Mitchell the room she needed to knock down a three-pointer from the top of the key.

In a quarter of runs, Michigan State looked to Jankoska, and she hit back-to-back triples as part of an ensuing 7-0 run that pushed the lead out to 22-12. The Buckeyes came back from that with another 7-0 run that included two jumpers by Alexa Hart and an and-one from Mitchell.

When the first ten minutes concluded, the Spartans were up 32-22, and Jankoska had scored 19, as the green and white finished out on with an 8-2 flourish.

A field goal drought of nearly four minutes by Ohio State to start the second quarter enabled Michigan State to go on another 8-0 run and build the lead to 40-27 after four minutes. The Buckeyes missed eight consecutive shots and saw their shooting percentage for the game plummet to just over 36 percent, including a meager 2-for-11 from beyond the three-point arc.

The game continued to play to type, though, as Lewis scored four off the bench to spark a 6-0 run for Ohio State. After a Shayla Cooper three, the deficit had shrunk to 43-37, but the Spartans rode their scorching perimeter shooting to finish the half on a 9-0 run that included two more three-pointers for Jankoska. The lead after twenty minutes was 54-41, a season-high for first half points for Michigan State.

Jankoska led all scorers 31 in the half, making seven from behind the arc, as the Spartans shot 10-for-16 from deep.

The Buckeyes shot under 40 percent from the floor, and Mitchell’s struggles in particular were striking. The All-American was just 3-for-11 from the field, 1-for-5 from three-point land, in scoring a team-high eight points. Ohio State connected on just three of its twelve attempts from deep, and was outscored 15-4 on the fast break.

The second half started much as the first, with Ohio State experiencing a field goal drought of nearly four minutes, going just 2-for-10 through the first five minutes. Michigan State extended the lead to 63-48, and Jankoska crept closer to the program’s single-game scoring record.

Another field goal drought by the Buckeyes, this time lasting more than four minutes, led to the largest lead of the game for the Spartans at 72-52, but an uptick in defensive intensity forced multiple turnovers. Ohio State closed the period on a 9-0 run, trailing 72-61 with just ten minutes remaining.

Michigan State went scoreless for the first two minutes of the fourth quarter, but the Buckeyes once again found a lid on the basket. Failing to make a field goal for nearly three minutes, the visitors were unable to dig into the deficit.

A pair of free throws with 3:34 to go gave Jankoska the single-game mark, and saw the Spartan lead balloon back to twenty. It was her night in every way.

Ohio State will be on the floor again Sunday in a road game against Purdue in West Lafayette. Tip is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. ET, with the game being televised live on ESPN2.
