Kenyatta Jackson Jr. Playing Team-First Role in Ohio State’s Defense But Eager to “Use My Pass-Rush Moves” More​

Kenyatta Jackson Jr. is eager for more opportunities to put his pass-rushing skill on display.

The redshirt junior defensive end’s primary role this season has been to “cage the pocket,” meaning he’s been responsible for not allowing quarterbacks to get outside of the pocket and extend plays with their feet. He’s done a great job playing that role, helping lead the way up front for an Ohio State defense that leads the nation with just 6.8 points allowed per game this season.

But Jackson, who was hyped up by his teammates as a potential first-round pick entering the season, hasn’t had a lot of production as a pass-rusher, recording just 1.5 sacks in Ohio State’s first six games. As such, he’s told Ohio State defensive coordinator Matt Patricia that he’d like more chances to “use my pass-rush moves.”

“I'm doing things that I wouldn't say I don't like, but sacrificing for the team. I'm a team player first, so I think my year is going well, but I would like to do other things,” Jackson told reporters on Wednesday. “I talked to Coach P about that, and he's open to it.”

I thought last year that on occasion, Kenyatta didn’t set the edge properly. His performance against Washington was excellent in that regard, and it was more important to cage Williams than to rush hard trying to sack him.

As others have pointed out, that will also be important against Underwood. As well as when UCLA comes to town.

Indiana Hoosiers (your shinebox, go f'n get it)

The portal won't dry up for Cignetti. You know why? Because this is his pitch:

"I was trying to become a HC for years and no one gave me a chance. No one believed I was a winner. But finally, at age 64, Indiana gave me a shot. And I knew I belonged here, because nobody believed in Indiana either. And you know what I did? I took my opportunity with both hands and I rammed it right up the ass of everyone who doubted me and we went to the playoffs. And you? You're what? 2nd string? 3rd string? When I saw where you were on the depth chart, it made me angry. There's a winner in there. I can see it. You know why I can see it? Because you're just like me. They don't believe in you either. But I do. And you have two options: you can rot on the bench, hoping someone gets hurt so you finally get an opportunity OR you can come back to Bloomington with me and we can both stick it right up their fuckin' asses!"

There's always going to be kids who are really good, sitting behind someone even better and are pissed off that they aren't getting a chance. And they're ripe for Cignetti to bring back to his island of misfit toys. He's an intense dude who talks with conviction and kids just have to turn on ESPN or checkout any sports podcast to see that his pitch isn't bullshit.

So this made me look at the 2028 rankings and apparently the #12 player in the nation is a 5-star receiver from Cincinnati that we haven’t even offered. Does anyone have any info on him? It’s very strange that the sites would rank someone so high from our state without a buckeye offer

I think it’s so fr out that Hartline wants to see him live and wants more film. He still has to sign 2026, and he doesn’t even have 2027 ironed out yet.
At this time for 2028: Eric McFarland, Jett Harrison and Brysen Wright are by the top 3 right now. I don’t think they’ve even offered the stud WR from Glenville yet either(Emiere Lemons).

Because the company is also signing deals with individual players......and if the program craters because the coach is losing games, those deals with individual players become a bigger waste of money than $50 million.

Just an uneducated guess.

Apparel companies have continued to sponsor awful teams and the players on them for ever.

It's like recruiting, the short term wins and losses don't change brand values.

Unless the coach does something toxic off field no sponsor is going to tell a school to fire the coach and if they did, they school would tell them to fuck off (assuming they didn't want to actually fire him). They'd just go do a deal with the competition.

This reminds me most of when Phil Mickelson switched golf gear ( I forget what brand to what brand) if the new company would pay off his gambling debts. This was something PSU was doing no matter what, if they happened to have some new cash then so be it but the giver of the cash didn't cause the debt.

OL Carson Hinzman (National Champion)

Carson Hinzman Returns to Home State of Wisconsin With “A Lot More Confidence” Than Two Years Ago​

A look back at Ohio State’s game film from when it last played Wisconsin showed Carson Hinzman just how far he’s come over the past two years.

“It was rough,” Hinzman said, laughing and shaking his head. “I had no idea really what I was doing. I was just kind of playing ball and hoping stuff didn't go wrong.”

While Hinzman was Ohio State’s starting center for the Buckeyes’ October 2023 game at Camp Randall Stadium, that 24-10 win in Madison came amid a roller-coaster first season in the lineup for the Wisconsin native. Thrust into starting duty a year earlier than expected after Luke Wypler entered the NFL draft, Hinzman struggled throughout the 2023 season, ultimately leading to his benching for the season-ending Cotton Bowl.

Now that he’s the experienced veteran of Ohio State’s offensive line, Hinzman returns to his home state as a far more confident player this time around.

“Two years ago, I mean, playing a lot more reactionary. I didn't really fully understand why things were going on or what was happening. I kind of had to rely a lot more on the guys around me,” Hinzman said. “But now it's a different position where I get to kind of step into a little bit more of a leadership role and have a lot of the guys kind of rely on me and what I'm looking at and how I can see what's happening and kind of diagnose that. So it's the same position, but completely different feel for the game.”
