Show notes

Ohio State still holds the top spot in the 2025 national recruiting rankings, but it is shaping up to be a fantastic finish between the Buckeyes, Alabama, Georgia and Oregon. Who might be on commit watch for OSU this month?

Also, can Ohio State's defensive line be consistently disruptive in big games this season? We have been touting the virtues of this D-line, but will they actually prove they are among the nation's best when the lights come on?

More commitments coming ... soon? | Cooking with Jake Jun 27, 2024

Show notes

The game of football is won in the trenches. You've heard this. We have to agree. It starts and ends with the big guys up front on offense and defense.

WRU? Sure. QB factory? Affirmative. DBU? We can make a strong argument. But the trenches ... the trenches.

Which brings us to defensive linemen Trajen Odom and Maxwell Roy. Two guys that get it done in their respective high school trenches. Our Bill Kurelic has rolled Crystal Balls for both to do the same for Ohio State.

We get you totally up to speed on that duo and their impending commitments, offer info on David Sanders, Dorian Brew, Jordan Davison and others before a deep dive on new offensive lineman commitment Jake Cook.

Ohio State's (potentially) epic NFL Draft class | Draft guru Dane Brugler joins show Jun 26, 2024

Show notes

We know the Buckeyes have a star-studded crew of veteran talent this season. That's what happens when a class replete with NFL Draft worthy talent basically all decide on another season with Ohio State. The Natty is the focus.

But after that, the 2025 NFL Draft promises to be a Buckeye-flavored event. That's why Dane Brugler is here. The Athletic's NFL Draft Expert recently penned an article theorizing Ohio State could boast the biggest draft class - EVER - next April at Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wisc.

It's not hyperbole. An argument can be made Brugler was conservative in his estimate.

We dive deep with Dane on a potentially epic class, hypothesize which Buckeyes will be picked and when before taking questions submitted via The Front Row.
