Who Will Have MORE 1st Round Draft Picks in 2025: Ohio State or Michigan?
ESPN just dropped their way too early mock draft for the 2025 NFL Draft, which included several Big Ten players, highlighted by many defensive stars from both Ohio State and Michigan including JT Tuimoloau. Denzel Burke, Will Johnson and Mason Graham. After Michigan tripled Ohio State's draftees in this years draft, who will have the upper hand next year? With Ryan Day bringing back so many starters from last year, one would think the Buckeyes will dominate in next years draft, but don't sleep on the defending national champs and Sherrone Moore, who have some key players of their own back in their quest to repeat.

Why Ryan Day and Ohio State Football's Freshman Phenom NEEDS to Play
Ohio State football's freshman sensation, Jeremiah Smith, has been turning heads and creating headlines all winter and spring so far for the Buckeyes. From making crazy catches during practice, to drawing rave reviews during the Ohio State spring game, Jeremiah Smith looks primed to become the next great Buckeye WR in a long lineage of superstars. Now, Ryan Day and Chip Kelly absolutely have to find ways to work the offense around him this upcoming season. With questionable QB play already a storyline heading into the season, the Buckeyes freshman can be beacon of hope for whoever is under center for Ohio State.

College Football Portal Insanity and Ohio State Football
The spring transfer portal window has officially closed, and the "portal insanity" that was supposed to ensue in Columbus didn't really come to fruition. Dallan Hayden was the biggest name that entered the portal, but that was no surprise after Tony Alford departed Ohio State to take the RB coaching gig at Michigan. Meanwhile, after we were told for months that it was inevitable for one of the QB's to hit the portal, not a single one entered their name and Ryan Day will have all five of his guys on roster heading into the upcoming college football season. While all signs were starting to point to Will Howard being the starter, does the fact that all the QB's stayed mean that multiple guys think they can still win the job?

NOW OR NEVER for Coach Ryan Day and Ohio State Football
There's a lot of debate in Buckeye Nation surrounding the current state of the program in regards to Ohio State having only four players selected over this past weekend in the NFL Draft, the fewest of any draft class since Urban Meyer took over in Columbus. However, the Buckeyes saw plenty of draft-eligible players decide to come back in hopes of beating Michigan, and winning the Big Ten, while also chasing a National Championship. The chips are all in for the Buckeyes and this has become a make or break year for head coach Ryan Day to flip the narrative and save his legacy.

Fewest Buckeyes Drafted in Years: Inside Ohio State's HUGE Development Issue
The 2024 NFL Draft marked the fewest number of Ohio State players selected in over 10 years.

How can Ohio State get back to producing NFL talent like they did so well for years?

Ohio State 5-Star QB Recruit Headed to Elite 11 Finals
Ohio State and Ryan Day's prized possession in next year's recruiting class has got to be 5-star QB Tavien St. Clair. With last year, and potentially this year, resulting in mediocre QB play from the Buckeyes, it's crucial for Ryan Day to land a home run in this upcoming recruiting class. Will Howard and Devin Brown are clearly not the caliber of players that Buckeye nation is accustomed to at the QB position. Can St. Clair bring Ohio State QB play back to the level of CJ Stroud, Justin Fields, and Dwayne Haskins?

College Football's Biggest PROBLEM Regarding NIL & Transfer Portal
In the era of NIL and transfer portal, we're seeing a common problem throughout the sport of college football. Players are committing to and from schools at will throughout the recruitment process and then transferring to and from schools once they are enrolled. Ohio State and coach Ryan Day are familiar with this, as Dylan Raiola de-commit to two different schools, one of them being the Buckeyes, before finally landing with Matt Rhule and Nebraska. Now, Jaden Rashada is transferring from Arizona State after he also de-committed from several schools throughout his recruiting process. Is this problem fixable?

Has Coach Ryan Day Made a DECISION on the Ohio State QB Battle?
Spring practice has come and gone without Ohio State head coach Ryan Day giving any indication on who the starting QB would be for the upcoming season. Devin Brown is the longest tenured guy in the room, and has reportedly been ahead of the pack after a majority of the spring practices. Julian Sayin has shown flashes of brilliance while also reminding everyone that he is only a true freshman at times. Then there's the million dollar man: Will Howard. The transfer from Kansas State who's both won a conference championship, and lost the starting job in the middle of the season. After a hangout with Coach Day at his country club yesterday, is Howard the man to lead the Buckeyes offense for the 2024 college football season and end the losing streak to Michigan?

CRISIS for the Michigan Football Program Amid NCAA Sanctions
Breaking news hit yesterday afternoon when the NCAA dropped sanctions on the Michigan football program stemming back to a 2020 violation, referred to as 'Burger Gate', when Michigan coaches, including Jim Harbaugh, illegally met with recruits during what was supposed to be a dead period during the COVID pandemic. Is this the beginning of the end for the Michigan football program? As Ryan Day and Ohio State get set to avenge the last three losses to the Wolverines, it seems as though the folks in Ann Arbor will be preoccupied with the latest drama. Did Jim Harbaugh leave for the NFL to avoid punishment? Is Sherrone Moore doomed before he even starts the 2024 college football season?

Ohio State Football UPDATES On Who's Hitting the Transfer Portal
The spring window of the transfer portal is officially open and we've already seen a couple big names hit the portal around college football, one of them being former Buckeye RB Dallan Hayden who could team up with his former coach in Michigan. With five different QBs vying for snaps in practice, one has to believe that one (if not more) of the Buckeyes QB room will be departing from Columbus. There's also the chance that Ohio State could lose some talent on the defensive side of the ball as well, after returning so many starters from last season. Head coach Ryan Day is doing all he can to please the roster and keep the majority of his current roster in tact, but it's inevitable that some players will be on their way out. Let's discuss who that might be!

Has Ohio State Football and Ryan Day Gone SOFT or is Julian Sayin the Chosen One?
Ohio State freshman QB Julian Sayin lost his black stripe in record time yesterday, surpassing the likes of every QB that has entered the program since the Urban Meyer era. Does Ryan Day think this kid is that talented that he could potentially see playing time for the Buckeyes in the upcoming college football season?

OHIO STATE SPRING BALL UPDATE: Is Ryan Day Close to Naming a Starting QB?
We have entered the final week of spring practice for Ohio State football, and have yet to receive any real update on who's leading the charge to win the starting quarterback job for the 2024 college football season. As we get closer to the spring transfer window, the thought is Will Howard deserves to know where he stands on the depth chart, so he can properly weigh his decision on where he will get the most playing time in his final year of eligibility. Last year, there was some division among Buckeye coaches as to who deserved the nod. The hope is that Ryan Day and Chip Kelly will see eye-to-eye on this year's decision, with so much at stake regarding the rivalry with Michigan, and a national championship to pursue.

Ohio State Football Recruit Forces a LAW CHANGE to Save the Buckeyes
A huge update for Ohio State recruiting has been announced, as the state of Ohio is on the verge of passing a law that would allow Ohio high school athletes to participate in year round 7-on-7 events. This news comes on the heels of Buckeye prospect Trey McNutt violating this protocol earlier this year. With Ohio now able to allow these kids the same opportunities as those in states like California, Texas, and Florida, look for Ryan Day and Ohio State football to level up their in-state recruiting to keep those homegrown kids in Columbus, and more importantly seeing them improve their game before they even step on campus.
