Grad transfer offensive lineman trending away from Ohio State

What’s the word on Jonah Jackson?
Ohio State is in a bit of a dire spot on the offensive line heading in to the 2019 season. The Buckeyes have returning talent that’s at least seen the field before in Branden Bowen, Joshua Alabi, Thayer Munford and Wyatt Davis, but very little proven players behind those four, and less pure numbers than usual. They filled the gaps a bit with the 2019 class, but only one of the four incoming freshmen, Harry Miller, is considered game ready, and Enokk Vimahi has a two year mission to go on.
Because of the lacking depth and experience, Ohio State has been not-so-quietly searching for at least one graduate transfer to add to the offensive line room, and for a while, it seemed like the answer would be Rutgers guard Jonah Jackson. Jackson is one of the best linemen in the transfer portal, and following a visit to Columbus a few weeks ago, it felt like it was only a matter of time before he announced that he’d be spending his final year as a Buckeye.
That announcement never came. Jackson kept his options open, and took a visit to Norman to see the Sooners, and the feeling around Ohio State seems to be that his visit to Oklahoma went very well. Now, does that mean that the Buckeyes are out? Not necessarily. Ohio State is still very much in this one, and will keep up their efforts to land Jackson. However, Oklahoma is in the lead, and as of right now, I think he could be a Sooner any day now. The longer he waits the better for the Buckeyes.
This will, unquestionably, bring up more doubts about Ohio State offensive line coach Greg Studrawa. It would be yet another whiff on the recruiting trail for a man that was hired by someone currently not coaching Ohio State. It would also add more problems to a line room that already, as mentioned, isn’t in a great spot, and doesn’t necessarily have the kind of elite coach needed to make something like that work.
Obviously Studrawa isn’t getting fired in February, or anytime before next December at the earliest. However, this is very much a contract year for Greg, and a miss on yet another big time offensive line target would be a pretty large red flag on a résumé already covered in red flags.
Quick hit

Justin Fields looks to be the missing piece to this Ohio State offense

After the loss of Dwayne Haskins, can Fields step up and fill the void?
“Arguably the most important position in sports and Ohio State has to replace a good one.”
-Patrick Murphy, 247 sports
There is really no denying that even though Dwayne Haskins only started 14 games at Ohio State, he is one of the most talented quarterbacks they ever had. His prowess in the pocket, pin point accuracy and slingshot of an arm led them to a 13-1 finish and convincing Rose Bowl win over the impressive Washington Huskies. To really no one’s surprise, Haskins left for the NFL draft after his first season as a starter.
That left Ohio State with a void at the most important position in the game. Losing J.T. Barrett hurt last season but with Haskins waiting in the on deck circle, few Buckeye fans were worried. Now with Haskins gone, many turned to Tate Martell. A short, explosive quarterback with bounding enthusiasm and a willing to be “the man”.
Then rumors started swirling that former five-star recruit Justin Fields, who at the time was the backup at Georgia, had entered the portal and was transferring to Ohio State. Not too long after that, Martell packed his bags for Miami and left Ohio State with just two quarterbacks and one of which had not yet been ruled eligible for the season. Since then, Fields has been ruled eligible and will compete with Matthew Baldwin but most people feel the job is his.
Fields has a mountain of potential but has not yet had a chance to showcase it. During his freshman season, Fields was 27-39 for 328 yards, four touchdowns and no interceptions. He also ran the ball 42 times for 266 yards and four touchdowns. These numbers are great but the sample size is too small, not to mention he mostly played against less superior teams. Haskins came in and provided automatic production and gave the impression early that he would be one of the best quarterbacks in the nation. Due to the Buckeyes current lack of depth at that position and Fields still being young and unproven, he will have to to exert the same amount of force on the rest of the country as quickly as Haskins did to set the tone for the whole season.
“Despite the program’s lowest point total in nearly a decade and the worst offensive efficiency rating since KenPom.com was created 18 years ago, the Buckeyes still have a solid shot to become an NCAA tournament team. They’re squarely on the bubble, and on the right side of it for now.”
-Colin Hass-Hill, Eleven Warriors
Ohio State Basketball is an odd team. There is no denying that. They have some good wins on the year like Cincinnati, Minnesota, Creighton and at Nebraska but they also have some bad losses. This week accounted for two of them. They lost to Illinois at home for the first time since 2008 after they already beat the Fighting Illini on the road earlier in the season, and then they went to Michigan State and only put up 44 points, marking the second time this season they have failed to score 50.
Even with this week ending up worst case scenario, Ohio State is still safely in the tournament and on the correct side of the bubble. Jerry Palm of CBS Sports has them as a 9 seed and Joe Lunardi of ESPN has them as a 9 seed as well. Even though that is probably not ideal for the Buckeyes as those current projections place them up against a one seed in the round of 32, but they are still safely in.
The Buckeyes are currently 16-9 and 6-8 in the Big Ten. They finish out with four games against top-25 teams and a home and home with Northwestern. As they sit at 16-9, if they finish 4-2 that will put them at 20-11 and 10-10 in conference play which will surely put them in. If they go 3-3, they are still on the right side of the bubble but may need a couple wins in the Big Ten Tournament to ensure their inclusion to the big dance. If they finish these last six games under .500, they are officially on the wrong side of the bubble and will need some help.
They have many opportunities to seal their spot in the next couple of weeks, and it is up to them to determine what went wrong this past week—and how to not let it happen again when the stakes are even higher.
“Either way, that unit should be in line to have an even greater impact for Ohio State with the top of the depth chart returning intact.”
-Austin Ward, Lettermen Row
It is no secret that Ohio State loves to utilize their tight ends. The Buckeyes have a history of productive and important tight ends that play a pivotal role in their success in conference and in the postseason. However, the production and numbers for this group last season were way down and they did not have much of an impact. Luke Farrell, Rashod Berry and Jeremy Ruckert combined for only 30 catches, 296 yards and three touchdowns with most of these numbers coming from Farrell.
This trio was fairly young last year and with the plethora of options Haskins had to throw the ball too and the experience of the receivers, it was not surprising to see the tight ends struggling to get touches. Now with the full trio returning and the Buckeyes losing many of those top receivers like Terry McLaurin, Johnnie Dixon and Parris Campbell, there are many opportunities for these tight ends to step up and increase all of their touches. Expect all three of them to play a bigger role in the Ryan Day offense next season.

Ohio State targets take over Rivals Top 10
Dan Hessler via our friends at Land-Grant Holy Land
Visit their fantastic blog and read the full article (and so much more) here
Rivals unveiled its new top-10 prospects for the 2020 recruiting class—and it is littered with Buckeye targets.
Ohio State coach Ryan Day’s first true recruiting class is quickly taking shape. With seven verbal commitments in the 2020 class already, the Buckeyes sit at No. 5 in the 247Sports Class Rankings.
On Monday, the pedigree of Ohio State’s recruiting class for next year received another accolade. Rivals.com released its updated top ten list , and there’s a slew of Buckeye targets that made the cut, including five-star offensive tackle verbal commit Paris Johnson Jr. (Cincinnati, OH / St.Xavier).
5-star CB Elias Ricks
Rivals Ranking: No. 4
Size: 6’2/180 lbs.
Hometown: Santa Ana, CA / Mater Dei
Recruitment Status: Verbally committed to LSU
Summary: While Ricks committed to LSU back in December, Ohio State appears to still be in the picture. Earlier this year he stated that he planned to visit the Buckeyes at some point in the coming year and that Ohio State is the most aggressive school in his recruitment.
5-star OT Paris Johnson Jr.
Rivals Ranking: No. 5
Size: 6’8/295 lbs.
Hometown: Cincinnati, OH / St. Xavier
Recruitment Status: Verbally committed to Ohio State
Summary: Johnson was the first verbal commit in Ohio State’s 2020 class, pledging his services to play for Ohio State in June 2018. Immediately following his commitment, he began recruiting other elite targets in the class to join him in Columbus. After looking like the leader of the class, Johnson’s commitment to Ohio State took a blow following the announcement that Urban Meyer would be stepping away as the captain of the football team. However, Day has done a great job at building on his relationship with Johnson and his commitment is beginning to look as solid as it once was. Johnson is back to recruiting others in the class to join him and will likely be the most important prospect in the class for Ohio State.
5-star DE Bryan Bresee
Rivals Ranking: No. 6
Size: 6’5/290 lbs.
Hometown: Damascus, MD / Damascus
Recruitment Status: Top six of Alabama, Clemson, Georgia, Penn State, Michigan and Ohio State
Summary: Bresee’s recruitment is obviously more up-in-the-air than the previously mentioned prospects—hence his lack of a commitment. Pretty much all that is certain in his recruitment is that he has narrowed down his long list of suitors to six schools. What is known is that he is consistently viewed as the top DE prospect in the 2020 class and will be a huge addition to whichever school he chooses. Currently, Ohio State, Clemson and Penn State are all tied at 20-percent in the 247Sports Crystal Ball Predictions with Georgia trending upwards.
5-star CB Kelee Ringo
Rivals Ranking: No. 9
Size: 6’2/205 lbs.
Hometown: Scottsdale, AZ / Saguaro
Recruitment Status: Holds 34 offers from the likes of Ohio State, Oklahoma, USC, Texas, Washington, Alabama, Clemson, Georgia, etc.
Summary: Washington and Texas are viewed as the favorites to land Ringo at this stage in his recruitment but the Buckeyes will be smart to use their secret weapon in his recruitment. Being from Arizona, Ringo has established a strong relationship with current Ohio State quarterback commit Jack Miller. The future signal-caller for the Buckeyes has been seen recruiting Ringo lately, and with Ringo’s recruitment yet to have a true front-runner, Ohio State is well in the mix to land, although it is a slight underdog right now.
5-star OG Justin Rogers
Rivals Ranking: No. 10
Size: 6’3/311 lbs.
Hometown: Oak Park, MI / Oak Park
Recruitment Status: Holds a reported 46 offers from the likes of Ohio State, Georgia, Michigan, Michigan State, Miami, Alabama LSU, etc.
Summary: Rodgers has long been associated with Ohio State and the school has been viewed as the favorite to land him for almost just as long. However, Georgia has been trending upwards as of late and the distance between the schools now appears closer than ever. We will have to wait until Rogers begins taking official visits before speculating on which direction he is leaning.

The AAF is a new beginning for some former Buckeyes
Meredith Hein via our friends at Land-Grant Holy Land
Visit their fantastic blog and read the full article (and so much more) here
You’ll see some familiar faces this spring.
“I couldn’t ask for a better opportunity. I think it’s right on the cusp of being in the NFL. It’s very competitive. People are hungry and focused. And they’ve been through the process and trying to get back there.”
-Former Ohio State receiver Jalin Marshall, via Brad Crawford, 247Sports.com
The Alliance of American Football, a new, eight-team league sprouted in March, completed its second week of play over the weekend, ans a number of former Ohio State stars made their marks for their respective teams.
The AAF was designed to fill the void between the conclusion of the Super Bowl and the start of the preseason while supporting up-and-coming pro-level talent. In many cases, the league is offering a second chance for players whose NFL careers did not quite pan out the way they’d planned, like running back Trent Richardson.
One of these players is former Ohio State standout Jalin Marshall, who played for the New York Jets from 2016-17 after going undrafted in the 2016 NFL Draft. Marshall had 14 catches for 162 yards and two touchdowns in his time with the Jets. However, a torn labrum during his rookie season and a four-game suspension heading into his second year contributed to cutting his NFL career short. Marshall was picked up by the Orlando Apollos and is already making a name for himself, having scored the first AAF touchdown ever. Marshall continued in this vein yesterday, reeling in another touchdown pass from quarterback Garrett Gilbert. In just two games, Marshall has accumulated 135 receiving yards.
Defensive tackle Tracy Sprinkle, meanwhile, was picked up by the Carolina Panthers as an undrafted free agent following the 2018 NFL Draft, but was eventually waived. Sprinkle was taken by the Atlanta Legends of the AAF, and has proven to be a pass-rushing force, earning a sack for an 11-yard loss yesterday against the San Diego Fleet.
Three other former Buckeyes have seen a resurgence in this new league as well. Offensive lineman Chase Farris (Atlanta), tight end Marcus Baugh (San Diego) and cornerback Doran Grant (Atlanta) also made AAF rosters this season.

21-12 victory over in their final home dual of the season #GoBucks pic.twitter.com/GbUbnjPqAW
— Ohio State Buckeyes (@OhioStAthletics) February 17, 2019
After a rough outing against the top-ranked Penn State wrestling team last weekend, the Ohio State wrestling bounced back with two dominant wins over Big Ten foes in dual matches over the weekend. First, Friday, the Buckeyes overcame Purdue 34-2 in West Lafayette. Then, Sunday, Ohio State returned home for a 21-12 win over Nebraska.
The latter win over the Huskers was especially sweet, as it took place on Senior Day and the last home match of the season. The four-man senior class featured the likes of Te’Shan Campbell (165-pounds), Joey McKenna (141-pounds), Micah Jordan (149-pounds) and Myles Martin (184-pounds). Martin is the top-rated wrestler at his weight class, while McKenna and Jordan are both the third-ranked wrestlers at their respective classes.
The Buckeyes have one more dual match in the queue versus Cornell before the start of the Big Ten Tournament, scheduled for March 9-10 in Minnesota.
“Last year was heartbreaking, we came up just short. We have worked so hard to get back here to have this opportunity. The match is just another opportunity for us to represent our unbelievable university.”

Congrats to Ohio State tennis!
The Ohio State men’s tennis team earned its revenge over Wake Forest in the ITA National Indoor Team Championships Monday, taking the title 4-2.

The Buckeyes began by taking the doubles point, taking two of three matches on the afternoon. Then, Ohio State’s J.J. Wolf, the second-ranked singles player nationally, led the way with a singles point from the first singles court. Martin Joyce followed up with the second clutch win, with Alex Kobelt sealing the win for the Buckeyes.

“I couldn’t ask for a better opportunity. I think it’s right on the cusp of being in the NFL. It’s very competitive. People are hungry and focused. And they’ve been through the process and trying to get back there.”

The Alliance of American Football, a new, eight-team league sprouted in March, completed its second week of play over the weekend, ans a number of former Ohio State stars made their marks for their respective teams.
The AAF was designed to fill the void between the conclusion of the Super Bowl and the start of the preseason while supporting up-and-coming pro-level talent. In many cases, the league is offering a second chance for players whose NFL careers did not quite pan out the way they’d planned, like running back Trent Richardson.
One of these players is former Ohio State standout Jalin Marshall, who played for the New York Jets from 2016-17 after going undrafted in the 2016 NFL Draft. Marshall had 14 catches for 162 yards and two touchdowns in his time with the Jets. However, a torn labrum during his rookie season and a four-game suspension heading into his second year contributed to cutting his NFL career short. Marshall was picked up by the Orlando Apollos and is already making a name for himself, having scored the first AAF touchdown ever. Marshall continued in this vein yesterday, reeling in another touchdown pass from quarterback Garrett Gilbert. In just two games, Marshall has accumulated 135 receiving yards.
Defensive tackle Tracy Sprinkle, meanwhile, was picked up by the Carolina Panthers as an undrafted free agent following the 2018 NFL Draft, but was eventually waived. Sprinkle was taken by the Atlanta Legends of the AAF, and has proven to be a pass-rushing force, earning a sack for an 11-yard loss yesterday against the San Diego Fleet.
Three other former Buckeyes have seen a resurgence in this new league as well. Offensive lineman Chase Farris (Atlanta), tight end Marcus Baugh (San Diego) and cornerback Doran Grant (Atlanta) also made AAF rosters this season.

After a rough outing against the top-ranked Penn State wrestling team last weekend, the Ohio State wrestling bounced back with two dominant wins over Big Ten foes in dual matches over the weekend. First, Friday, the Buckeyes overcame Purdue 34-2 in West Lafayette. Then, Sunday, Ohio State returned home for a 21-12 win over Nebraska.

Board of Trustees to discuss variable Ohio State men’s basketball ticket prices
The Ohio State Board of Trustees will discuss Thursday integrating variable ticket pricing into men’s basketball, pricing individual games according to whether it’s an exhibition, non-conference, conference or premier opponent.
This past season, Ohio State listed its premier opponents as Syracuse, Michigan State, Purdue and Wisconsin.
The recommendation, as part of the finance committee meeting, also states that the arena will expand its four ticket price zones to six, establishing one in the lower level seating with an increase in pricing and upper level seating with either reduced pricing or remaining the same.
For Zone 1 seating, the public can purchase tickets, depending on the level of opponent, from as low as $10 to $57. Season tickets will be $634.
For the Zone 6 seating, tickets can be purchased from $5-14 depending on the opponent.
The season ticket discounts will remain at approximately 12 percent off the total for the general public and 20 percent off the total price for Ohio State faculty and staff.
Student pricing will remain at $9 for all opponents.
The 2019-20 men’s basketball schedule has not yet been finalized.
