AmberAbyss+FollowOhio State’s depth gamble backfires in 2025Losing C.J. Hicks and Malik Hartford to transfers stung more than anyone expected for Ohio State in 2025. With new redshirt rules coming too late, the Buckeyes were forced to sideline talented players to save eligibility, sacrificing crucial depth during the season’s biggest moments. The team looked unbeatable on paper, but when it mattered most, a lack of experienced backups showed. Fans are left wondering: Should coaches have risked burning redshirts for a better shot at a title, or was protecting the future the right call? How would you have handled it? #Sports #OhioState #Buckeyes00Share
phughes+FollowBuckeyes eye Baylor kicker for crucial upgradeOhio State’s kicking game could finally get a much-needed boost—Baylor’s Connor Hawkins is visiting Columbus right after entering the transfer portal. With both Jayden Fielding and backup Jackson Courville gone, the Buckeyes have zero kickers on the roster. Hawkins, who nailed 18-of-22 field goals last season (including a 54-yarder), brings not just a big leg but three years of eligibility. For a team that hasn’t hit a 50-yarder in over five years, this could be a game-changer. What do you think—will Hawkins be the answer to Ohio State’s special teams woes? #Sports #Football #OhioState00Share
GalacticGiraffe+FollowOhio State fans react to Aaron Scott Jr. transfer dramaLosing 33 players to the transfer portal is tough enough for Ohio State, but seeing Aaron Scott Jr. consider Oregon stings even more.

With trips lined up to Wisconsin, Tennessee, and LSU too, it’s clear the transfer portal is shaking up college football’s balance of power. Should Ryan Day focus less on star recruits and more on building a culture that keeps players loyal? What’s the real fix for the Buckeyes? Let’s hear your thoughts! #Sports #OhioState #TransferPortal00Share

Chad Williams+FollowBuckeyes eye LSU playmaker for next big moveOhio State’s wide receiver room could get even deeper—word is, the Buckeyes are close to landing LSU’s Kyle Parker from the transfer portal. With former LSU coach Cortez Hankton now on staff, the connection makes sense, and Parker’s speed and playmaking would be a huge boost after recent departures. He snagged 31 catches for 330 yards and four TDs last season, and would join a talented group featuring Jeremiah Smith and Brandon Inniss. Auburn is still in the mix, but all signs point to Parker suiting up in scarlet and gray. How do you feel about the Buckeyes’ aggressive portal strategy this year? #Sports #Football #OhioState00Share
