Gotta love that Ohio has recently been driving out the homegrown OL talent. Big boon for a position we need to stockpile.

Like seeing this! Side question - has OSU increased their attraction to St. Iggy's? I can't recall a ton of players coming from there to Cbus and they have always been a football factory.BK with the CB to OSU

Last one I can remember for football was Scott McVey (LB)...unfortunately had a career ending injury right out of the gate basically. Would be nice to have a pipeline there, they have some players that come out of there.

OHIO 2026 OL WILL CONROY SAYS HE'S THANKFUL FOR OHIO STATE OFFER AND HIS CHILDHOOD DREAM WAS TO PLAY IN THE SHOE AND BEAT “THE TEAM UP NORTH”

Will Conroy couldn’t stop smiling Saturday night.
The Cleveland 2026 offensive lineman had just been offered by his favorite childhood college team, Ohio State, a few hours earlier and the moment truly began to sink in.
“I was actually in my hotel room (Saturday night) like ‘Damn,’” Conroy told Eleven Warriors. “I’ve wanted this offer all my life and have wanted to play for the scarlet and gray. I have an opportunity to do that after the offer. Obviously, I’m still looking at other schools, but coming from this state and knowing what the rivalry is all about, a lot of other people may look at this game as just another game to them, but it’s The Game. Growing up that’s something special and if I decide to come here, I’d hope to spread the rivalry because we’re not looking too hot for the past three years.”
The 6-foot-3, 275-pound Conroy has seen his recruitment take off in the past few months, earning offers from the likes of the Buckeyes, Florida, Arizona, Kentucky, Miami, Michigan State, Oregon, Purdue and Virginia Tech. But it meant a smidge more when Ryan Day presented an offer himself Saturday.
“I’ve gotten a lot of other offers before, but this one was a little more special,” Conroy said. “Growing up in Ohio, every Ohio kid’s dream is to play in The Shoe and beat the team up north. Being here and them wanting me is truly something special.”
Conroy has been an avid OSU fan since birth. One look at his childhood room could have told you about his allegiances.
“I actually painted my room scarlet and gray when I was a little kid,” Conroy said of his OSU fandom. “I had like a big FatHead of the Buckeye helmet. I remember my family and I went to an Ohio State vs. Minnesota game in like 2015, we beat them and my mom took a photo and everything like that. That’s when Urban Meyer was coaching and I really wanted to be coached by Urban Meyer. That was probably the first experience I can remember.”

That’s a nice childhood dream. My dream is that Will becomes a 3 year starter and earns 5 gold pants.

Childhood favorite teams are good an all, but there have been too many examples of guys going to the opposite team (even their rivals) for me to think it's a slam dunk

Ohio State offered the 2026 offensive lineman from Cleveland (Ohio) St. Ignatius over the weekend. It is his dream school so being on campus and getting the offer was a “special experience” for Conroy.
An early commitment to the Buckeyes wouldn’t be shocking at all now but his visits to Oregon, Florida and Miami stood out. His family loved Kentucky and they plan to return to Lexington as well. Conroy also will take a West Coast swing over spring break to see Arizona, Arizona State and Oregon.

His composite score is going up. I really hope he flourishes this season, could be a solid Guard pickup for 2026.

We got a shot at 5 OL starters from Ohio for '26. Best class since Brewster and company coming up.

As long as no one does a Shugarts three times a game I'll be fine with that.
