5 winners and 2 players with stock falling from Ohio State football’s blowout win over Ball State to begin the season
The first game of the 2026 season is in the books for the Ohio State Buckeyes. In the opener against Ball State, there’s plenty to take away from this first game.

Stock up report for Ohio State after beating Ball State
Khary Wilder
The true freshman defensive lineman flashed early for Ohio State and looked like a player who is going to have a role on the defensive line this season. Wilder generated a couple of pressures and was even rushing from the interior on some passing downs. It was a great day for him as the Buckeyes look for someone to be the No. 2 pass rusher opposite Kenyatta Jackson. Perhaps Wilder could be that guy.

Loved how he used one arm, much like Reggie White, and threw a 300 lb Offensive lineman in the air and onto the ground without skipping a beat.

Re: While Ryan Day said Tuesday that the injuries Daniels and Grady suffered against Texas aren’t “long-term injuries,” he said Wednesday that the starting right tackle and defensive end are unlikely to play against Kent State.
Jut sayin': I haven't seen any indication that Wilder is hurt; however, Grady is nursing a knee injury and is unlikely to play in the Kent State game. DE snap counts so far:
