The Buckeyes have not earned a commitment from a linebacker in the 2026 class to this point, but that’s not to say there is no progress being made at the position. On Wednesday, four-star in-state linebacker Cincere Johnson narrowed his scholarship list down to a top three that includes Ohio State alongside Alabama and Penn State. The Cleveland Glenville product has official visits set up with all three of those schools and will likely wait until after to make his final decision.

After losing Will Howard to the NFL, the Buckeyes have another quarterback battle on their hands going into the 2025 season. Lincoln Kienholz and Julian Sayin duked it out during the spring, each of them having some good days and some bad, but after the end of spring practices, head coach Ryan Day believes they are dead even. “I felt like Lincoln, going into the spring game, was a little bit ahead of Julian,” Day said.
