Latest news and updates about the Ohio State
It’s rare that two Cinderellas face off in a championship final. But neither team that met in Saturday’s Big Ten final was meant to be there. The Cinderella of the season — Michigan — proved that it has evolved from a fairy tale into the king of the conference, the No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament. And the Cinderella of this tournament — Ohio State — went home heartbroken, its carriage...

Ohio State must reload defensively for the second consecutive year. With several special players departing — safety Caleb Downs and linebackers Arvell Reese and Sonny Styles chief among them — perhaps the most difficult player to find a like-for-like replacement will be nose tackle Kayden McDonald.

Ohio State’s offense is built around elite skill talent, a future NFL quarterback, All-American receivers, and breakout running backs. But when you strip the layers back to what makes that offense work, it often comes down to the line that protects and propels it. And no player on that line matters more for 2026 than […]

Ohio State beat Penn State 94-62 on Wednesday night in a pitiful effort on Josh Reed’s Senior Night. The Nittany Lions fell to 3-16 in conference play and are all but locked into the bottom spot in the Big Ten standings. Penn State shot just 4 for 22 from the floor in the first half, […]

It’s safe to say not everyone was sold on Ryan Day’s hire of Matt Patricia as defensive coordinator when Jim Knowles took the Penn State job. Our own site listed the uncertainty of the choice as one of the Buckeyes’ biggest concerns last summer. While things hadn’t gone so well for Patricia as an NFL […]
Ohio State’s most important offensive line question might not be whether the Buckeyes have enough talent. It is whether they can align that talent in the way that gives the entire unit its highest ceiling. Left tackle sits at the center of that conversation. Austin Siereveld handled the job last season and started all 14 […]
As the calendar turns to March, college football recruiting is really beginning to heat up. With programs across the country preparing for the start of spring practice, top prospects are cutting down their top schools lists and planning their official visits. Over the weekend, Ohio State made the cut for a pair of top-100 national […]
Ready to send another haul of first round picks in this year’s draft, guys like Sonny Styles and Arvell Reese stole all of the headlines on Thursday, and rightfully so. From the measurables physically to their overall performances in the various drills being tested, Ohio State was once again the talk of the event, and […]
Ohio State’s secondary conversation naturally starts with replacing Caleb Downs, but one of the most important answers might actually come from a different spot on the field. Earl Little Jr., the Florida State transfer, gives the Buckeyes a veteran defensive back with real production, real versatility, and the kind of experience that can stabilize a […]
