2026 tOSU Recruiting Discussion

Selective, as has been the case so far. OL, DL, DB, top tier WR if any, and a PK

Figuring out the hard way on getting an actual kicker, need to get a kid on scholarship that's legit.

lol Day immediately goes to get a kicker.

I must admit that I'm tired of seeing FG kickers hitting 50+ yard FGs while we struggle sometimes with hitting 35 yd shots. This has to change.

I mean a lot of those kickers miss some short ones too. It's just they feel that over 45 yards is makeable while we're like I don't know I'd do that.

Would love to see them offer Bode Shoaps from Granville. Dude is college ready now and he's only a junior in high school. He absolutely blasts the ball and he's a good kid too - my son has mutual friends with him.

Admittedly I know nothing about this kid but the offer list definitely isn't inspiring. They definitely need a decent transfer kicker for 2026.

We have one though right that transferred in last year? Definitely would look at the guy from Illinois

Yes the dude from Ball State, but considering he couldn't beat out Fielding for the job it's hard to have confidence there

I can vouch for this too

I just googled him….he’s a kicker and runs a 10.6 100??? That is crazy

He's in the portal now too right?

Just sayin': I never would have thought that Ohio State's 2026 Transfer Portal Class would be ranked as high as #4....
