OHIO STATE LINEBACKER DALLAS GANT LOSES HIS BLACK STRIPE

Gant becomes the second member of Ohio State's Supreme '18 recruiting class to lose his black stripe, joining defensive tackle Tommy Togiai, who shed his in the spring. Both freshmen enrolled early and competed in spring practices.

Watch: Action from Wednesday’s Ohio State Football Practice

Among the players being seen are redshirt freshman quarterback Tate Martell hitting redshirt sophomore tight end Luke Farrell down the field, and a one-on-one battle between senior right tackle Isaiah Prince and junior defensive end Nick Bosa. Also shown is a very nice breakup on a pass by sophomore cornerback Jeff Okudah. You can see all of the clips below, and if more get posted on Twitter, they will get added here.

Munford moves the best of all of the linemen, but mercy is NPF a gifted athlete. He's raw but man he moves about 50 lbs lighter than his size.

I think Munford can be a stalwart at LT and has all the tools, plus a little bit of battle tested ability. However, if for some reason there are any serious issues, the quick development of NPF is crucial in my eyes because his physical ability could put him in soon in a pinch. We can't have any breakdowns like we initially experienced with Prince, particularly at LT. I think LG-RT are going to be dominant even if Taylor or Myers can't get it done at center...Jordan will slide down to center in that event, which leaves guard spots open for Bowen, Knox and Pridgeon (though my first guess is it goes Knox and Bowen starting at guard, Taylor at center, and Prince at RT). But if NPF can get game ready for this season, I will feel a lot better on the LT spot.

Also, looks like Martell is really spinning it out there, some beautiful throws in those videos. On Gill, also had my eye on him for early PT even if the position is loaded...I see Campbell as a slightly more pure WR and can get a lot done in the intermediate routes. McCall is a shifty speed merchant that you primarily get the ball to on short routes and let him do his magic. I think Gill is a nice blend of both and has the most versatility, plus some power and RB skills to motion him in for carries. Point is that he will play if he can bring something to the table, although I am thinking Campbell has a monster year and hoping the McCall takes his role and is as explosive this season as he was in the spring game.

Finally, glad to hear Borland is moving well, we are going to need him even if Browning emerges like we hoped. In fact, could easily see those guys both being on the field at the same time with their unique and separate skill sets. Finally, finally, if that DL stays healthy at the end position...dear lord. Going to be fun to watch.

And now that I am out of the UFM thread...FOOOTTTTTBALLLL!

I must say most of the highlights has been Tate putting the ball on the money lol.. No Qb controversy but Im starting to believe again that Tate will play more then we think.

It would be freaking hilarious if we didnt play Tate one bit for the first 4 games, but then unleash a package highlighting his running ability vs Pedo.

Parris was tracking the ball nicely on deep, over the shoulder catches at practice. Which should be complimentary to an avalanche of crossing routes where only 1-2 guys are running with him

Glad to hear that, if he can play outside a little and add that skill set to his repertoire, he could really improve his draft stock. Obviously that would help us too, but this is one of the more loaded years I can remember on the outside with Dixon, Hill, McLaurin, Mack, Victor, Harris, Saunders, etc. Maybe not a true star in that group that has emerged, but that is a lot of talent stacked up and returning. That's just on the outside without considering Campbell, McCall and now maybe Gill. But of all the WR's, I see Parris as the one with the most star potential in line for a breakout year.
