Buckeyes see change in plans for top 2026 QB, dish out latest offer in 2025 class to Virginia RB
Ohio State is primed to host an impressive list of visitors this weekend.
www.landgrantholyland.com
A 5-foot-10, 200 pound athlete, Dalton took to Twitter to share that Ohio State was the latest to join his recruitment. A Virginia native, he’s currently the No. 483 player nationally and the 39th best player at his position per the 247Sports Composite. While the ranking may not be as high as many of the other targets Ohio State is in on, Dalton’s offer list that includes the likes of Alabama, Florida, Penn State, Tennessee, and several others goes to show that it may be time for an update in the overall grades.
Ohio State’s 2025 class is sure to be a larger one in terms of the amount of guys they bring in, and running back will look to have at least two committed, if not more, when all is said and done. In-state back Bo Jackson is atop of the leaderboard for the Buckeyes, but Alford is looking for additional guys they feel confident in.

New D1 Subdivision--the Beginning of the Split?

Skull Session: Ross Bjork Wins His Introductory Press Conference, The NCAA’s Proposed Subdivision Costs Millions and C.J. Stroud is a Rookie of the Year Finalist
Ross Bjork wins his press conference, the NCAA’s proposed subdivision would cost Ohio State millions and C.J. Stroud is a Pepsi Rookie of the Year finalist.
COUNT THE COST. On Dec. 5, 2023, NCAA president Charlie Baker proposed the creation of a new subdivision within Division I that would allow the highest-resource schools the ability to compensate athletes from trust funds and NIL.
The proposal, which Yahoo Sports’ Ross Dellenger and The Athletic’s Nicole Auerbach obtained, featured several recommendations for NCAA Division I members to consider:
- The formation of a new subdivision made up of institutions with the highest resources that can directly compensate athletes through an “enhanced educational trust fund,” which requires the schools that opt into it an investment of at least $30,000 per year per athlete for at least half of the school’s eligible athletes. Schools would have to adhere to Title IX, providing equal monetary opportunities for female and male athletes.
- Schools in the new subdivision could create their own rules separate from the rest of Division I. Those rules would allow them the ability to address policies such as scholarship limits and roster size, as well as transfers and NIL.
- Any Division I school would be able to enter into an NIL deal with its athletes directly. This is not currently permissible under NCAA rules.
- Any Division I school would be able to distribute to any athlete funding related to educational benefits without any caps on such compensation.
While Baker's proposal could use a few tweaks, what would happen if the plan came into effect before the 2024 college football season? How much would Ohio State spend to enter the “elite subdivision”?
The Washington Post added up the cost for the Buckeyes: $14.3 million – the most among all colleges and universities.
ESTIMATED COST TO JOIN NEW SUBDIVISION
| SCHOOL | ATHLETES | MINIMUM COST | 2022 REVENUE | % OF REVENUE |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| OHIO STATE | 950 | $14.3 M | $251.6 M | 5.7% |
| MICHIGAN | 853 | $12.8 M | $210.7 M | 6.1% |
| PENN STATE | 792 | $11.9 M | $181.2 M | 6.6% |
| NORTH CAROLINA | 771 | $11.6 M | $122.6 M | 9.4% |
| CALIFORNIA | 745 | $11.2 M | $109.6 M | 9.5% |

Ohio State’s 2021 Class Has One More Chance to Become Legendary After Most of Its Stars Return for Senior Seasons
With eight of its biggest stars returning for their senior seasons, Ohio State’s 2021 class has one more chance to become the all-time great class it was expected to be.
OHIO STATE’S 2021 CLASS HAS ONE MORE CHANCE TO BECOME LEGENDARY AFTER MOST OF ITS STARS RETURN FOR SENIOR SEASONS
The expectations for Ohio State’s 2021 recruiting class were massive when those Buckeyes arrived in Columbus three years ago.
On paper, the 2021 class was the best Ohio State has ever signed. Including seven five-star recruits, it was the highest-rated recruiting class in school history per the 247Sports team composite rankings, with an average prospect rating of 95.05 that ranks as the third-highest all-time.
Jack Sawyer, one of the most highly touted prospects in the class, wasn’t bashful about setting expectations for what he and his recruiting classmates would accomplish.
“The direction of our program just continues to keep getting better and better,” Sawyer told Eleven Warriors before his enrollment at Ohio State in January 2021. “And I think we’re going to win a few national championships here. I think we’re gonna win five, six, maybe seven, eight in the ’20s. So I’m super excited.”
So far, that prophecy has gone unfulfilled. The Buckeyes haven’t even beaten Michigan once in the last three years, let alone won any national championships. But the 2021 class still has one more chance to achieve legendary status.
While it was expected when that group arrived at Ohio State – and even as recently as a couple of months ago – that most of its stars would only be Buckeyes for three years before entering the 2024 NFL draft, a majority of that class will be back with the Buckeyes in 2024 to make one final run at achieving championship glory.
Marvin Harrison Jr. and Mike Hall are the only two members of that crop of players who have opted to leave early for the 2024 NFL draft. Sawyer, fellow defensive end JT Tuimoloau, wide receiver Emeka Egbuka, running back TreVeyon Henderson, defensive tackle Tyleik Williams, cornerbacks Denzel Burke and Jordan Hancock and left guard Donovan Jackson all would have been drafted this year had they chosen to go pro, but all eight of them decided to stay at Ohio State for their senior seasons instead.
