Is there a forum here to sell season tickets? I am a retired faculty member who cannot attend this year. The seats are in 21C with a commanding view of the entire field. Thanks for your thoughts and Go Bucks!!

Former NFL Defensive Coordinator Josh Boyer to Join Ohio State Football Staff​

Ohio State is adding another former NFL assistant coach to its staff just three weeks before the Buckeyes kick off their schedule against Texas.

Former Miami Dolphins defensive coordinator Josh Boyer is joining Ohio State’s staff, according to multiple reports. Pete Thamel of ESPN was first to report news of the hire on Saturday afternoon.

Boyer and Patricia both began working for the New England Patriots in 2006 and served in multiple roles on Bill Belichick's staff across the next decade-plus. Patricia ultimately became the Patriots' DC in 2012 and Boyer served under him as cornerbacks coach until Patricia left to become head coach of the Detroit Lions in 2018. Boyer left New England in 2019 to become the Miami Dolphins’ defensive pass game coordinator and cornerbacks coach.

A native of Heath, Ohio, Boyer began his coaching career in 2000 after playing as a wide receiver and defensive back at Muskingum College in New Concord, Ohio. He started out as a graduate assistant at King's College in Pennsylvania before serving in various football staff positions at Dayton, Kent State and Bryant before landing with the Patriots.

As of Saturday afternoon, it was unclear what Boyer's official title will be on Ohio State's staff.

Google AI: In NCAA Division I football, there is now no limit to the number of on-field assistant coaches a program can have. Previously, programs were limited to a head coach and 10 assistants. The new rule allows all staff members, including analysts and quality control coaches, to provide technical and tactical instruction to student-athletes during practice and games. However, off-campus recruiting is still limited to 11 individuals, including the head coach.

Just sayin': Boyer has worked with Patricia, has extensive NFL coaching experience, and is from Ohio; he looks like a good hire/fit.

Coaches Poll has the Buckeyes at #2 behind their opponent in the opener.

ANTHONY THOMPSON

• Pos: SF
• Height: 6-7
• Weight: 185

Prospect Info

• High School: Western Reserve Academy
• City: Hudson, OH
• Class: 2026

Scouting Report​

A skilled lefty forward with extreme shot-making potential, and length to match, Thompson is a tremendously gifted offensively prospect. The southpaw leans back into a high release that is virtually unblocked and allows him to make tough shots with very little separation. He’s capable of making both threes and pull-ups in bunches, and is already a potential shooter. He also has good positional size, measuring in at over 6-foot-7 with shoes on and then a massive 7-foot-2-plus wingspan. The overlap of that length and shooting ability is very rare, especially for such a young player. While his core competency is his ability to make jumpers, we’re gradually starting to see him put more pressure on the rim. He has a terrific right hand in the paint and also the ability to decelerate and maneuver the paint with euros and long strides. He’s young for his grade and turns 17 in August before his senior year of high school. Not surprisingly, he’s also still growing into his body and has a bit of a baby face, which speaks to his still untapped potential. As his frame evolves, he needs to work on being more physical and also cognizant of his body language at times. Overall though, he’s an immense talent.

Make it make sense why a coach is being punished for spending his own money on providing kids from an impoverished neighborhood with the type of amenities that wealthier private schools are able to utilize. What’s even worse, is his own alma mater is the ones who punished him. Smh

6-1 Arch Manning, Texas
