Somebody is having a good spring camp.

In case you haven't heard, there's potentially playing time up for grabs at wideout for Ohio State this year, after the departures of Michael Thomas, Jalin Marshall and Braxton Miller. There have been reports that freshman Austin Mack has been making a name for himself in practice, and now, we can see public confirmation. Urban Meyer tweeted today that Mack was the first freshman to get his black stripe removed:


Mack, a four-star wideout from Fort Wayne, IN, chose the Buckeyes over Alabama, Michigan, Notre Dame, and a slew of other big name programs. An early-enrollee, Mack saw his recruiting profile improve dramatically over last season, thanks to strong performances in camp and during his senior high school football season.

With plenty of openings on the depth chart, it seems that Mack is making a case for early playing time, even as a freshman. Given his potential, that can only be a good thing.

Buckeyes Fencers Comes in 2nd in NCAA Championships

The Ohio State University Buckeyes came in second place despite having one less qualifier for the maximum allowed (12) in the NCAA Championships. The Buckeyes Men’s team finished with the second highest with 35 points which was delivered by their epee squad. The Women’s foil squad turned in a 40-point performance. The Buckeyes finished ahead of three other teams that had qualified with the allowable 12 fencers – the Buckeyes had 11.

Columbia would out duel the Buckeyes finalizing the score 174-167. Princeton and St. John’s both finished with 161 points – with the Tigers edging out the Red Storm on the indicator, 147-106. Notre Dame would finish up at fifth with 160 points.

Sophomore Foilist Maximilien Chastanet emphasized the Buckeye’s presence with a gold medal in his first NCAA Championship title. Sophomore Marc-Antoine Blais Belanger claimed second place in epee competition, and teammate Lewis Weiss finished in third place.

In the men’s foil, Maximilien Chastanet ended round robin competition in first place, winning 18 out of 23 bouts and earning a +52 indicator. In the semifinal round, Chastanet defeated Columbia’s Adam Mathieu, 15-10. The bout was like a swinging pendulum – back and forth – back and forth…. Though Chastanet would eventually take control the second half – defeating the #4 seeded Mathieu. In the final round it would be Chastanet facing off with Penn State’s Nobuo Bravo. The pace would swing into quick action – with four quick unanswered touches. A native of Nice, France, Chastanet dominated the second period of the match to defeat No. 2 Bravo, 15-3. Chastanet finishes competition with his first NCAA Championship title, improving from an eighth place finish at the 2015 NCAA Championships. The last time there was a Buckeye men’s foil champion was back in 2012 – Zain Shaito.

The Buckeyes claimed two medals in men’s’ epee, with Marc-Antoine Blais Belanger finishing in second place and Lewis Weiss in third. Blais-Belanger finished round robin competition in the No. 2 spot, winning 18 bouts and claiming a +19 indicator. The Montreal, Quebec native went up against St. John’s fencer Yevgeniy Karuchenko, the 2014 epee champion. Blais-Belanger defeated Karuchenko 15-14 in a thrilling bout. In the final round, the sophomore faced off with defending champion Jake Hoyle from Columbia University. Blais-Belanger began strongly, leading Hoyle 4-2 as the first break arrived, and held on until the second break, leading 6-5. Hoyle jumped ahead though in the third period and Blais-Belanger was not to win – 15-9. Blais-Belanger’s second place finish is his best in NCAA Championships. In 2015 he finished in sixth place.

Sophomore Lewis Weiss finished round robin in the No. 4 seed, claiming 17 victories and a +22 indicator. Weiss went on to fence with the subsequent champion Jake Hoyle in a exciting match. Hoyle had the last touch, sending Weiss into third place 15-14. Weiss finishes in third place at NCAA Championships for the second consecutive year.

Women’s competition contributed three medals, highlighted by Eleanor Harvey’s first place finish in women’s foil (21/23, +67). Harvey, a junior from Hamilton, Ontario, is the first women’s foil champion for Ohio State since Yelena Kalkina in 1997. Harvey is the third Buckeye to win a women’s title in program history.

Women’s epeeist Eugenia Falqui (14/23, +9) and Women’s Foilist Alanna Goldie (19/23, +50) both claimed bronze medals with their third place finishes. Freshman epeeist Emma von Dadelszen came in at 12th place at her NCAA Championship inauguration, contributing 12 wins and a +10 indicator. Junior Alexa Antipas claimed 17th place, earning 10 victories for the team.

This concludes the Buckeyes fencing season. Coach Vladimir Nazlymov and his Buckeyes again have represented Buckeye Nation with such wondrous precision.

We are proud!

5-star WR from Michigan will roam sidelines at Ohio State spring game
Bret Favachio via our friends at Land-Grant Holy Land
Visit their fantastic blog and read the full article (and so much more) here


After striking out in 2016 at Cass Tech (MI), Ohio State hopes to land a big-time prospect from the program in Donovan Peoples-Jones.

In a shock to no one, Ohio State will host an impressive list of visitors when they hold their spring game in a little over two weeks. Let's take a look at the latest prospect who confirmed his intentions of being in The 'Shoe for the event.

Peoples-Jones set to see OSU


As of today, head coach Urban Meyer and Ohio State have constructed a class that's good enough to hold the top spot in the 247Sports Composite Team Rankings. However, the Buckeyes have yet to add a wide receiver to the fold so far.

Make no mistake about it, Ohio State is in great shape with a few prospects including Trevon Grimes, Jaylen Harris, and Tyjon Lindsey. With that being said, one name to not forget is '17 WR Donovan Peoples-Jones of Cass Technical (MI). This 6'2, 192-pounder grades out as a five-star and the Buckeyes will have a chance to impress him sooner rather than later.

According to the tweet below from '16 QB signee Dwayne Haskins, who would surely love to deliver some passes to the Detroit native, Peoples-Jones will be on campus on April 16th when the Buckeyes hold their annual spring game.


The tweet was later retweeted by Peoples-Jones which would seemingly confirm the visit. That mid-April visit will be big for Ohio State's chances with the top ranked pass-catcher in the entire 2017 recruiting class. We'll see if the Bucks can knock this one out of the park after swinging and missing at the program last year.

Bucks check on Stewart


Despite the departure of three members of the hoops squad in the last two days, the show must go on. On Wednesday, Ohio State coaches stopped by Union City (TN) to see '17 SG Parker Stewart, according to Zach Fleer of 270Hoops.com.

As mentioned in the linked tweet from Fleer, Michigan was also in attendance to visit the 6'5, 195-pounder. Despite not having an offer from either program at this time, both schools are keeping close tabs on the Volunteer State prospect. For now, Stewart holds offers from Florida, Kansas State, Memphis, Missouri, Nebraska, Wisconsin, and more.

Stewart finds himself graded as a three-star recruit in the 247Sports Composite Scale and is ranked nationally as the 135th-best player in the class. Additionally, Stewart is pegged at 35th overall at his position and the second-best player from the state of Tennessee.

Ohio State baseball with another walk-off winner, beats Toledo, 9-8

The Buckeyes beat Toledo, 9-8, thanks to more late-inning heroics.

On a night with plenty of offense, the Ohio State baseball team used more late-inning heroics to beat Toledo, 9-8, at Bill Davis Stadium in Columbus. The Buckeyes won the game on a two-out, two-run double by junior Troy Montgomery in the bottom of the ninth for another walk-off win.



Montgomery, who doubled twice on the night and stole a base, helped Ohio State improve to 16-7-1 on the season and bailed out both closer Yianni Pavlopoulos and the umpires after a controversial call in the top of the ninth aided Toledo in taking the lead.

Pavlopoulos, who had converted six save opportunities coming into the night, gave up three runs in the ninth, surrendering a 7-5 lead. It seemed he had the game closed out on a ground ball off the bat of the Rockets' Deion Tansel, but the umpire at first called him safe. A double and a single later, the Buckeyes trailed 8-7.

Despite the setback, Pavlopoulos earned his second win of the season in a game that saw the two teams combine to score 17 runs, collect 23 hits, and use 12 pitchers.

Redshirt sophomore Austin Woodby started on the bump, his college debut as a starter, but it did not go well particularly well. The Springboro, Ohio native took a no-decision, surrendering five runs on eight hits in only two innings of work.

Toledo's Jordan Kesson, also making his first career start, fared even worse. The right-hander lasted just 0.2 innings, giving up three runs on one hit and four walks.

Buckeye third baseman Nick Sergakis, the Big Ten leader in hits, continued to roll. The Columbus native extended his reached safely streak to all 24 games this season, going 2-for-5 with a home run, a double, two runs scored, and three RBIs.

Right fielder Jacob Bosiokovic continued his incredible season as well, hitting his team-leading eighth home run of the season, walking twice, and scoring two runs.

In the top of the first, Toledo sprinted out to a 4-0 lead off of Woodby. A two-run homer by A.J. Montoya, an RBI double by Ryan Callahan, and a run-scoring single off the bat of Brad Boss did the damage.

In the bottom of the frame, Ohio State repaid the favor to the Kesson. After back to back walks to Bosiokovic and Ronnie Dawson put two runners on base for Sergakis, who entered the night second in the Big Ten in batting average at .418, he delivered a two-run double into the left-center gap to cut the lead in half.

Sergakis then stole third and scored on a sacrifice fly by fellow co-captain Jalen Washington to trim the lead to 4-3.

Toledo got a run back in the top of the second after Woodby had retired the first two hitters on just four pitches. Tansel singled to left and stole second for the second time in the game. Dalton Bollinger followed with a double into the left-center gap for a 5-3 lead.

Alex Wagner, who relieved Kesson to end the first, joined an exclusive club in the bottom of the second. He became one of just two pitchers to give up a home run to Craig Nennig. The Ohio State senior shortstop, who was homerless coming into the season, hit a shot out to left, his second of the season, to cut the lead to 5-4.

Lefty Joe Stoll did a nice job in relief of Woodby, silencing the Rockets' bats in four innings of work. Stoll gave up just one hit, walked one, and struck out three..

In the bottom of the fifth, the Buckeyes took their first lead of the night thanks to a pair of solo home runs by Bosiokovic and Sergakis off Toledo reliever Steven Duby. When the inning was over, the scarlet and gray held a 6-5 lead.

Dawson supplied an insurance run in the bottom of the eighth with a bases loaded sacrifice fly, bringing Tre Gantt across the plate for a 7-5 lead.

Redshirt sophomore Kyle Michalik and senior Michael Horejsei kept the Rockets off the board in the seventh and eighth, but Pavlopoulos couldn't get out of the ninth without the go-ahead run crossing the plate.

In the bottom of the ninth, though, Troy Kuhn led off with a double against Toledo closer Michael Jacob to give Ohio State life. After a Washington sacrifice bunt and walks to Brady Cherry and Zach Ratcliff, the bases were loaded. Nennig popped out to the second baseman, but Montgomery picked up his teammate with a shot off the wall in left-center as a jubilation ensued.

The Buckeyes will play host to a non-conference series this weekend against Bethune-Cookman. First pitch on Friday is scheduled for 6:35 p.m. ET.

The latest on the D'Angelo Russell-Nick Young video controversy
Harry Lyles Jr. via our friends at Land-Grant Holy Land
Visit their fantastic blog and read the full article (and so much more) here


Things aren't going so great in Los Angeles for the former Buckeye.

The D'Angelo Russell-Nick Young controversy has stolen the eyes of the sports world this afternoon, after an ESPN report alleged that his Laker teammates shut him out after a video surfaced of Russell filming Young (who is engaged to rapper Iggy Azalea) while asking questions about Young's alleged affairs The video was reportedly shot a couple of months ago.

Russell would sit and eat alone at breakfast, with one incident specifically describing Russell sitting down next to Lakers teammate Lou Williams, and Williams immediately gets up and leaves. A Lakers source told the Los Angeles Times "D'Angelo is sometimes 20 going on 14," said a person familiar with the situation. "They've all been trying to prank each other this season. This was a stupid prank."

Byron Scott told reporters today that he has not talked to, and will not talk to D'Angelo Russell, and expressed his disappointment that it got out, from ESPN's Baxter Holmes. After leaving the morning shoot-around, Russell declined to talk to reporters, saying, "Nope. Nothing to talk about," per the LA Times. Russell and Young are both expected to speak to the media before the Lakers play the Miami Heat tonight, according to Holmes.


"He got me my freshman year at the Orange Bowl. I always told [Sammy Watkins] that I'm gonna get him back when I get older."

- Vonn Bell, via Doug Lesmerises, Northeast Ohio Media Group


Vonn Bell is closer to making this happen. The NFL Draft is inching closer and closer, and Bell is set on getting revenge on Watkins, who regularly torched defensive backs in his time at Clemson, and even now in the NFL. In that game, Watkins had 16 receptions for 227 yards and two touchdowns. The Buffalo Bills subtly reminded him, telling him to be careful what he wishes for on Twitter. Certainly it wasn't all on Bell, but when you're the last line of defense and you have a deep threat such as Watkins, you'll undoubtedly catch blame.

Bell did have one interception in that game, but he will have a whole NFL career to get back at Watkins, and even other receivers who he may not have mentioned. He told NFL.com's Brook Cersosimo that he feels the best safety in the league is Eric Berry, and that's a pretty good guy to look up to. He's not only a great NFL player, he even beat cancer and came back quicker than anybody could have expected. If Bell is able to be anything like Berry, Watkins should be concerned next time they line up.

"There is little experience. There is much potential. Just don't remind Meyer of that."

- Doug Lesmerises, Northeast Ohio Media Group


This is likely going to be the drum that gets beat continuously in the offseason just as the quarterback conundrum was last offseason. Ohio State lost Michael Thomas, Braxton Miller, and Jalin Marshall to the NFL, and while the Buckeyes still have talented players that were waiting in the shadows and are ready to step up, they don't have much experience. They haven't been proven to be formidable receivers at the college level. But Urban Meyer doesn't like hearing about "potential."

According to Lesmerises, Meyer said, "If you're tagged with the term, 'you have a lot of potential,' that's really a bad thing. That means you're not very good, but you should be. And I do see that." The Buckeyes potential top three targets for the 2016 season (Noah Brown, Corey Smith, and Curtis Samuel) are all going to miss spring practice due to injury. While the situation isn't totally ideal, but this receiving group could wind up being better than last year's. The Buckeyes still have Torrance Gibson, Austin Mack, Dontre Wilson, James Clark, and Johnnie Dixon to get into the mix. Somewhere in there has to lie three guys who can carry the load for the Buckeyes. Count on Meyer to find them.

Among the record 561 Buckeyes from 36 sports earning OSU Scholar-Athlete status this year were 26 members of the football team.


The 49th Ohio State University Scholar-Athlete banquet was held Tuesday, where we saw a record 561 Buckeyes earning OSU Scholar-Athlete status. Of those, 26 came from the football team. Two-time Academic All-American and National Football Foundation Scholar-Athlete Jacoby Boren led the way, as he received the Big Ten Medal of Honor. The Big Ten Medal of Honor is given to one female and one male at each Big Ten institution.

Along with Boren, Bryce Haynes, a five-time OSU Scholar-Athlete and a four-time academic all-Big Ten honoree and a Big Ten Distinguished Scholar was up for the Big Ten Medal of Honor as well, but was awarded the Men's Varsity O Scholarship Tuesday evening. Braxton Miller also received recognition, along with Cam Williams and Chase Farris. You can view a complete list of the football scholar-athletes here.

Former Ohio State legend Dick LeBeau joins the Titans in Columbus for private workout
Alexis Chassen via our friends at Land-Grant Holy Land
Visit their fantastic blog and read the full article (and so much more) here


The Tennessee Titans made their way to Ohio to check out some of the Buckeye talent.

With just under a month until the NFL Draft, prospects from Ohio State have started making the rounds to meet with teams for individual workouts. The Tennessee Titans made the trip North to Columbus on Wednesday to scout at least five Buckeyes.

The Titans -- who hold the No. 1 pick in the upcoming draft -- were in town to look at some of the defensive superstars, including DE Joey Bosa, LB Darron Lee, S Vonn Bell, S Tyvis Powell and DL Adolphus Washington. Former Ohio State legend, and current Titans defensive coordinator Dick LeBeau could have a chance to add some young talent from his Alma mater come draft day.

In addition to LeBeau, Titans head coach Mike Mularkey and general manager Jon Robinson made the trip to look at some possible rookie options.




Dick LeBeau took some time to speak about what his time at Ohio State meant to him, and it was a dream come true to play for the Scarlet and Grey, with him closing, "I'll love Ohio State til I die." The athletic department should consider just using this video for all recruiting efforts from now until eternity.



Ohio State head coach Urban Meyer made sure to flag down Luke Fickell to introduce him to the Pro Football Hall of Famer and defensive mind of Dick LeBeau.




Could Joey Bosa still be in the running for the No. 1 overall pick? Or are the Titans looking at possible second and third round talent?
