Ohio State’s 11 New Walk-Ons for 2025 Include Sons of Former Buckeyes, Three-Star Recruits​

Ohio State’s 11 new walk-ons for the 2025 season include several players whose last names will be familiar to Buckeye fans. Stanley Jackson Jr., a redshirt sophomore running back who previously played at Marshall, is the son of former Buckeye quarterback Stanley Jackson. Jaystin Gwinn, a freshman safety from nearby Westerville Central High School, is the son of former Ohio State safety Anthony Gwinn; his uncle, Jayson Gwinn, was also a defensive end for the Buckeyes.

Ohio State’s New Walk-Ons for 2025
The 11 new walk-ons join 19 returning walk-ons and 91 scholarship players on Ohio State’s 2025 roster, giving the Buckeyes 121 players as preseason camp begins.

While the House v. NCAA settlement approved this summer set a roster limit of 105 players for college football, teams are allowed to have larger rosters for now thanks to the Designated Student-Athlete exception, which gives teams extra roster spots to account for players who were already with the team that would have lost their spots if a hard cap of 105 players had gone into effect this season. As such, Ohio State will have the same number of players in camp this year as it has in other recent seasons.

Please, sweet Woody in heaven...I can't do another one in my lifetime.

Please no.

Sounds more like a wheelbarrow than a bag.....

Freaking bagmen!

Big shoes to fill in the entertainment aspect. The ST battery usual provides the best antics.

Ask a bot if it knows the prime directive.

It has to tell you or blow up.

Saw it on Star Trek once.

Cousins is barely an upgrade over Fields.

Former Ohio State Athletic Director Gene Smith Reportedly Serving As a Consultant for Maryland for Six Months​

Former Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith will be lending his assistance to Maryland athletics — temporarily.

According to a report by the Columbus Dispatch, Smith is serving as a consultant for Maryland for the next six months.

“You have to have something to keep you mentally active,” Smith told the Dispatch, “and the consulting and board work keeps me mentally active. Obviously, I'm not working 80-plus hours a week.”

Smith is assisting former Ohio State associate athletic director for marketing and communications Jim Smith, who just began his tenure as Maryland's athletic director last week. He worked in Columbus from 1995-2000. Jim Smith worked with Gene from 2016-2020 when he led Ohio State's alumni association.

Without William Buford, a former Ohio State standout and TBT MVP, Carmen’s Crew never found a rhythm at Butler’s Hinkle Fieldhouse on Tuesday. After claiming a 2-0 lead seconds after tip-off, Carmen’s Crew trailed the remainder of the game, with Fail Harder leading by 19 points at halftime and 14 points when the Elam Ending began.

“HE IS IMPROVING EVERY DAY.” Earlier this month, I wrote that former Ohio State offensive tackle George Fitzpatrick received praise from Kansas State head coach Chris Klieman during Big 12 Media Days — praise that indicated he could be the Wildcats’ Game 1 starter this fall.

“We needed some older guys as these younger guys grew,” Klieman said, “and George Fitzpatrick is one that was here in the spring that elevated himself to the top of the depth chart at left tackle.”

Unfortunately, Fitzpatrick suffered a medical emergency during a summer practice on July 16. According to WIBW’s Jason Kinander, Riley County Emergency Medical Services responded to a call at Kansas State’s practice facility at 4:36 p.m. From there, EMTs transported Fitzpatrick to Ascension Via Christi Hospital in Manhattan and, soon after, St. Francis in Topeka.


“George had a medical situation to which the training staff quickly responded,” the Kansas State football program told WIBW in a statement. “He is improving every day, and we appreciate all who have cared for and supported him as he continues to recover.”

One of the people who has cared for and supported Fitzpatrick is Ian Moore. The Ohio State offensive lineman posted on X over the weekend and asked his followers to keep Fitzpatrick in their thoughts and prayers.

“Please pray for a speedy recovery and no complications,” Moore posted.

I’ll ask you, dear reader, to do the same this week, please!

Not enticed. That would be terrible. Can you imagine?! It's children! Being enticed! My god the scandal!

Im pretty clear cut when it comes to rules also. Far too many of them are created and enforced by people who benefit from them while making sure others cannot.

Well other schools don’t have a multi million dollar HC in the area I’d imagine.

Any rate this seems silly at this point and I’d be interested to know if there’s more here that we aren’t being told.

In watching the WNBA, appears (at least to me), that when the announcers talk up the bigs, it's usually a southern school, or Ucon that's mentioned. Brink is an exception, but we've not really seen her play, as sidelined with a leg injury. Looking forward to seeing the new edition of tOSU womens' team this year, and see what the several bigs on our team. Elsa seemed to be advanced as a frosh, let's see the leap she'll make as a sophomore.

Maybe the bags should have cash and not taco bell next time.

Ohio State doesn't need to.
