Ohio State Men's Lacrosse (2013 ECAC Champions)

Ohio State Men's Lacrosse Goalie Caleb “Big Tasty” Fyock Using 300-Pound Frame to Eat Opposing Shots​

Those who have partaken of Ohio State lacrosse games this season have been treated to one of the best and most fitting nicknames in Buckeye – hell, make it all of college athletics.

Starting goalie Caleb "Big Tasty" Fyock weighs in at 297 pounds, and his favorite snack is opposing shots. As the Buckeyes have climbed to No. 3 in the country with a nine-game winning streak, Fyock has emerged as one of the nation's best netminders.

Fyock has gobbled up a save percentage of .628, good for third-best among all goalies in the NCAA. He fares even better in goals against average with just 6.4, placing him second in the nation. A sophomore, he earned Ohio State's Most Outstanding Freshman Award after starting 14 of the Buckeyes' 15 games in 2024, recording a save percentage of .517.

The Buckeyes and Fyock are in the midst of a nine-game winning streak after starting their season in the losing column, including wins over No. 20 Denver, No. 7 Notre Dame and, most recently, No. 6 (then No. 4) Penn State. Fyock tied a career-high with 17 saves against the Nittany Lions.

FTR, the Domers were #2 in the country at the time of their loss. I can’t recall where Denver was ranked.

#3 Buckeyes ruin Johns Hopkins’ homecoming 14-10, it was on espnu.
I don’t know that I’d say that the game felt like a 14-10 game. It was a comfortable win but a lot of fun to watch.

The most impressive thing I’ve seen from this group is how well they are moving the ball on offense. It’s an unselfish team and a lot of guys can put the ball in the back of the net.

On a personal note, Liam White (#22 frosh) is from the club program I coached with here in IL. His older brother is friends with and played on the same team as my son. Anyway, it’s impressive to me that he’s getting some good playing time as a true frosh. Glad he’s a Buckeye. Every time I ran into his brother at a practice I’d get an O-H or similar from him. I knew he was a Buckeye, but I guess at this point, the entire family must be.

With Maryland losing to Rutgers, the Buckeyes should go to #2 in the poll.
