Colorado quarterback Julian Lewis suffered a medical emergency at Colorado's athletic facility Wednesday and was transported to the hospital, his father announced Thursday.
In a post on X, T.C. Lewis wrote that his son is "recovering and thankful to his medical team, teammates and Colorado fans for their prayers and support."
T.C. Lewis offered no specifics regarding the emergency and said the family has no further comment at this time. Julian Lewis was listed as doubtful on the initial Big 12 availability report Wednesday night.

Hopefully the young man gets healthy.

Safety target Brandon Murphy will be visiting for both the Oregon game and the Michigan game.
He’s long been a top of the board guy for Matt G and someone I’ve had penciled into this class. He’s a realistic option and would be a fantastic pair with Barner.

Per Georgia’s 247 insider Dawson Jacobs could be closing in on a commitment in the next month.

I’ve always believed he will end up wherever DJ ends up, his potential commitment being in a month coinciding with early signing day 2027 isn’t a coincidence to me. Entire family will be on campus for the Oregon and Michigan games.

What's the scouting report on Dawson? Is he going to be the bigger edge or push inside? I know he's not as tall or built much like his brother but does he possess some of the same elite athletic traits?

From 247 Georgia insider on Jacobs:

DJ hasn't altered his outlook on the purpose of these visits the entire time. He has remained as consistent as can be.
"I've been going on most of these visits for my brother, man," Jacobs said. "I've gotta go support him as he supported me. I'm just looking at it and seeing how he likes it. I'm just going for my brother mainly."
The Buckeyes haven't flinched to this point.
"We're all good," Jacobs said. "It's like family over there. They support it. They know I need to support my brother, so they're cool with it. I'm hoping to see everyone with smiles on their face. I'm excited for us to get after it."
From connecting with those involved with this recruitment behind the scenes, it should surprise nobody: Several programs other than Ohio State are expected to make final contract offers, perhaps outpacing Ohio State's current offer.
Ohio State will have the opportunity to see some of that and counter as required during the upcoming Nov. 7 visit, and as Signing Day gets closer.
Notably, 247Sports sources have suggested Ohio State's confidence level of keeping Jacobs hasn't wavered despite constant pressure from others, and there's something to be said for that, too.

John Mobley Jr. “Hasn't Been Back On The Court Yet” After Leaving At The End Of Exhibition Game vs. Butler​

During his Wednesday press conference, Jake Diebler said, “We've been healthier, but we're trending in the right direction.”
One player in particular on the injury front is John Mobley Jr., as the guard went down and headed to the locker room with 1:30 left after being tended to by the trainers in Sunday's exhibition game win over Butler.
The junior stepped on Ivan Njegovan's foot while backpedaling, grabbing at his right ankle as he went down.


Ohio State got in the win column to conclude its preseason exhibitions, winning 82-73 over Butler in its final tune-up before starting the regular season on Nov. 2 against BYU.

"He hasn't been back on the court yet, but we don't anticipate it taking too long," Diebler said at Ohio State's practice gym. "We're just, for all the obvious reasons, being cautious and hopefully getting back out there sooner rather than later."
Diebler was then asked if he was worried there would be anybody the Buckeyes wouldn't have this upcoming Monday against No. 25 BYU, to which he replied with "not yet."
"We'll have more clarity, I think, come Friday. We'll have a pretty good feeling what we're looking at, because obviously we've got to start getting our rotations locked in," Diebler said. "But as of right now, I don't think we're in a position right now where we're going to say we're going to be missing anybody, but I'm also not in a position to say we're not going to be missing anybody yet. So hopefully we'll have a good feel here in the next couple of days."
Mobley is coming off a 2025-26 season where he averaged 15.7 points per game, starting in 31 games. He tested NBA draft waters, but ultimately ended up back in Columbus after feedback from the professional ranks.

The guard is expected to be the leader of this year's squad, already gaining recognition from the conference as a preseason All-Big Ten team selection.
In the first exhibition of the year against Cincinnati, Mobley led the Buckeyes in scoring in 15 points. During the secret scrimmage against Louisville, there was no box score made available, but a source told Eleven Warriors that he played well. During the win over Butler, Mobley was second in scoring with 17 points, trailing Amare Bynum's 23.
"He's a student of the game. He's got a really high basketball IQ. He works so hard. He lives in the gym," Diebler said of Mobley.

IN TODAY’S DAY AND AGE... In an interview with Eleven Warriors editor Dan Hope, Cardale Jones expressed confidence in Luke Fahey or Tavien St. Clair as Ohio State’s next quarterback. He also discussed what his NIL value would have been 11 years ago after he led the Buckeyes to a national title.

“I don’t want to think about it,” Jones said with a laugh.

Reflecting on his circumstances after Ohio State’s magical three-game run to the national championship, Jones said he could have maximized his NIL value either remaining at Ohio State or transferring elsewhere. It’s a great point. In the modern era, the Buckeyes couldn’t have kept both Jones and J.T. Barrett on the roster. Really, it would have been hard to keep all of Ohio State’s stars in Columbus.

“I’d have been in a very favorable situation to maximize my NIL value,” Jones said. “But on the flip side, I would have recognized we had other potentially high-dollar athletes like Ezekiel Elliott, Michael Thomas, a young Curtis Samuel, Joey Bosa, Von Bell; the list goes on.”


Today, the most expensive college football rosters cost around $50 million, with schools like Ohio State, Oregon, Texas, LSU, Texas A&M, Miami and Notre Dame in that ballpark, according to The Athletic. Jones believes the 2015 Buckeyes would have cost between $70 million and $80 million in the current market.

“People talking about a $30 million, $40 million, $50 million roster that so many schools are having. I mean, ours would have been that easily 10, 12 years ago,” Jones said. “That would probably be worth $70 million, $80 million, you know? $70 million in today’s day and age.”

It’s hard to argue with that.

Jones mentioned a few of the stars above, and there were several more. I mean, look at how many NFL draft picks that 2015 team had!

JJ Sullinger Donates Kidney to Former Ohio State Teammate Terence Dials, Putting Brotherhood Into Action: “He’s Letting Me Live”​

Ohio State breaks down each huddle with one word: “Family.”

That word is the backbone of the Buckeyes’ culture — and that culture was put to the test when former Ohio State power forward and current recruiting coordinator Terence Dials needed a kidney transplant amid a 10-year battle with chronic kidney disease.

As OSU honored Thad Matta for his 500 career wins during the team’s scrimmage against Butler on Sunday, the legendary head coach revealed that Dials’ college teammate, JJ Sullinger, had offered to be his donor.

Less than 48 hours later, Ohio State men’s basketball shared a behind-the-scenes look at the moment Dials told the program about the Brotherhood being about more than wins and losses on a hardwood court.

“I get emotional, man,” Dials said. “I’ve been diagnosed with chronic kidney disease. It’s been like 10 years. It’s been getting worse every year. This past year, I was able to get on a list for a kidney donation, so I was on Ohio State’s list, Cincinnati’s list, and the doctors tell me you’re supposed to send out to your networks of friends and family and see who can be a match, a donor.

“I send it out to all my friends. My best friend (beats chest), he was the first one to jump and said he wanted to donate his kidney to me. On Monday, I go under the knife and he’s giving me one of his kidneys. We say that because he’s giving me a new lease on life.

“But when Coach Diebler, me and him talked today, we thought this story would be good for your guys because this wasn’t possible without the game of basketball for one, but for two, this family at Ohio State. When Diebs says family, I’m a living testimony for that. He’s letting me live.”

The real pandemic wasn't COVID, it's human stupidity, and it continues unabated.

So the 16 owners of the B1G, who do not have an anti trust exemption, just sat down and agreed to cooperate on limiting compensation for a group that has no voice (other than to work elsewhere) in the matter.

Not only is it insanely stupid from a competitive advantage standpoint- it’s colluding with other buyers to suppress the price of what they are buying (labor).

As the saying goes- this isn’t ‘Nam. There are rules. You aren’t supposed to be allowed to do that.

Adam Gorney said his read on the Brandon Nash situation is that he was dying to commit but Ohio State has others ahead and didn’t want to upset that apple cart.
Birm said his belief is that the safety room has been intentionally set up to pay Barner big money.

305Buck 23 hours ago
I do not think Barner will be the only Safety that Ohio State pays big money for in this class if you look at what we brought in from the 2026 and 2027 classes. Definitely seems like 2028 was intentionally set up for them to spend big NIL on the safety room.

Greg Biggins stated that we are still in contact with Kasi Currie and that this will be one to monitor down the stretch. I have to imagine that if Texas loses two more games and Sark is gone we will really have a shot there, but I would assume Texas has a great NIL package for him.
305Buck 21 hours ago
Greg Biggins said Fakatou and Currie have grown very close since Fakatou transferred to Sierra Canyon, LJ stopped by the school last week to see Fakatou and also let Currie know there’s a spot for him still in the class.
If he makes it up for one of our home games in November I’d put the flip probability at a high percentage. His heart was always with Ohio State, we just need to be more competitive with whatever Texas is offering him.

THE SITUATIONAL: Famous Last Words​

By Ramzy Nasrallah on October 28, 2026 at 1:15 pm @ramzy

• ught the Buckeyes were settling into their chosen identity, they're forced to pivot to something new.

Don't confuse new with different. The rest of the schedule will be a classic case of Ohio State's offense Doing Fewer Things and ensuring they're done well. On Halloween night, they'll be dressing up as something we haven't quite seen this season. It won't be drastic; you'll still be able to tell it's Ohio State wearing a new costume.
Unfortunately, it's not a plug-and-play situation. Word association with Ohio State's three quarterbacks produces three different descriptions: precise and experienced, undersized and heady, physical but developmental. Three different guys. None were made in the same factory.
We'll find out together what this looks like over the final five regular-season games. But the first order of business is to express gratitude for an operation run by qualified professionals.
If this had happened with Ohio State's staff construction from a year ago, the Buckeyes would have been putting their fortunes in a first-time play-caller attempting to solve a Rubik's cube with his feet while wearing skis. If you haven't been paying attention to Oregon, that's roughly what's happened there.
When Braxton Miller went down in 2014, Ohio State reupholstered its offense around what J.T. Barrett could do. Pragmatic distribution turned out to be a pretty good place to start.
Dan Lanning backfilled his two outgoing coordinators with internal promotions, including an offensive coordinator learning to call plays on the job. The drop-off has extended beyond the coaching staff. Oregon scored 84 points in its last full game before preseason Heisman candidate Dante Moore was carted off the field against Southern Cal.
The Ducks have scored 42 points combined in their three games without him. That's an unpleasant reference point for Ohio State with Julian Sayin now unavailable, but the coaching arrangements matter. Ryan Day has an offensive background and Arthur Smith has years of NFL coordinating experience. Lanning's background is on defense, and his first-time play-caller struggled once conditions became less than optimal.
Oregon removed Drew Mehringer after his offense scored 10 points against an Illinois defense Michigan State (!) had just shredded. Now Jay Johnson, who was calling plays at Wyoming last season, will direct the offense when the Ducks visit Ohio Stadium next weekend.
