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.

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.
