Player(s) to Watch: Ohio State’s seven returning starters chasing rare repeat

2 days ago | landgrantholyland.com | Gene Ross

Mark J. Rebilas-Imagn Images The phrase has always been that Ohio State doesn’t rebuild, it only reloads. That theory is going to be put to the ultimate test in 2025, as the Buckeyes return only seven players that started at least half of their games during their national championship season. Entering the 2024 campaign, Ryan Day saw a ton of his players put off the NFL Draft for one more year in Columbus, and the result was a roster laden with premier veteran talent.

Before we get to that, Ryan Day’s group — and more specifically Tyler Bowen’s position group — got things started on Friday as a pair of 2026 offensive lineman cut down their lists and included Ohio State among their top schools.

We are officially deep in the heart of the college football offseason. Ohio State’s spring practice period wrapped up nearly a month ago already, and with the action of the spring transfer window now finished for the Buckeyes’ purposes, there isn't all that much going on between today and the start of preseason camp. That is, of course, besides recruiting. Ohio State’s 2026 class currently sits at 12 members, with a ton still to be done before the early signing period in December.

Hailey Rogers, 247Sports As if Ohio State needed any help with its recruiting pitch coming off a national title, the Buckeyes had themselves another successful NFL Draft with 14 players selected to lead all schools. While some other Big Ten schools were busy turning former five-star prospects into undrafted free agents, Ohio State extended its all-time lead with four more first round picks, bringing them to 95 total — nine more than the next-highest team (USC, 86).
