This guy's a real jerk
Coleman would have been nice but I don't think his impact would be quite that big year one. I think Zion is a much better option from what I've seen in limited time.
Huge news with Kenyatta, I think he's gonna have a dominant year.

Kenyatta was very solid all year, and he played his role in the defense rather than trying to pad his own stats. His contributions didn’t get the attention that was deserved because there were a few other guys on the defense playing at an All-Americsn level.
Even my wife noticed how he was ‘setting the edge’ and staying in his lane.
I’m very pleased he ‘s coming back, and hopefully he’ll be able to earn more recognition this coming season.

I think he deserves it this year. But I wouldn’t be mad if he’s rocking the #2 this year - it’s a very legendary number for OSU’s defense. A lot like being #4 on offense.

Kenyatta Jackson Jr. Came Back to Improve Draft Stock, Lead Ohio State’s New-Look Roster
A desire to improve as a player and lead Ohio State's new-look 2026 roster brought fifth-year senior defensive end Kenyatta Jackson Jr. back to Columbus.
Kenyatta Jackson Jr. Came Back to Improve Draft Stock, Lead Ohio State’s New-Look Roster
It’s an odd feeling walking the halls of the Woody Hayes Athletic Center for Kenyatta Jackson Jr. as he prepares for his fifth and final season of college football.
Only two other members of his recruiting class remain at Ohio State: Carson Hinzman and Bennett Christian. Fifty-one new players came to Columbus either as transfers or freshmen in January.
“Made me feel old,” Jackson said on March 12. “But we’re the older guys on the team, just trying to take in new faces, new freshmen and just lead them, pull them aside with us.”
Jackson didn’t have to hang around for all the newness. He’d have likely been selected in the 2026 NFL draft had he declared, possibly on day two. But he’s back. Back to improve that draft stock, and back to lead all the new faces around him.
“I came back just to be a more complete football player, not just on the field, but off the field with IQ and things of that nature,” Jackson said. “I'm taking a leadership role. We have new guys in the room. I'm just taking them in and showing them the ropes of Ohio State football, the standard of what Ohio State football is.”
