Skull Session: Denzel Ward “Definitely” Still Wants to Remain with Browns After Myles Garrett Trade, Paul Keels is Inducted Into the Ohio Basketball Hall of Fame

Have a good Monday.

JEREMIAH SMITH — GOOD AT FOOTBALL. Last week, ESPN’s Adam Rittenberg selected the best non-quarterback playmakers in college football entering 2026. Surprise, surprise, Jeremiah Smith was on the list.

Why he's here: Smith is arguably the best overall player in the sport entering his third season. He's still seeking a Biletnikoff Award after finishing as a finalist last season and should be among the top non-quarterback candidates for the Heisman Trophy. In two seasons with the Buckeyes, he has 163 receptions for 2,558 yards and 27 touchdowns, recording three or more receptions in all but one game.

Last season, Smith reached the end zone in all but four games. While the Buckeyes' offense struggled in losses to Indiana and Miami to close the season, Smith still made a combined 15 receptions for 301 receiving yards.

"He came in from Day 1 with a seriousness to him," Ohio State coach Ryan Day said. " ... He wants to have a great third year here, but for him it's more than just playing the wide receiver position. It's going to be the impact he has on everybody else on that field."

Smith is widely projected as the first non-quarterback to be selected in the 2027 NFL draft. He has been the sport's most complete wide receiver and has 420 more receiving yards and four more touchdowns than any other player since the start of the 2024 season.

Other players featured on the list included Miami WR Malachi Toney, Michigan DE John Henry Daley, Ole Miss RB Kewan Lacy, Texas DE Colin Simmons, Texas Tech LB Trey White and LB Adam Trick, Auburn LB Xavier Atkins, West Virginia RB Cam Cook, Virginia LB Kam Robinson, Indiana DT Tyrique Tucker, BYU RB LJ Martin, Notre Dame CB Leonard Moore, Oregon S Koi Perich and Memphis DL J’Mond Tapp.

Smith is the best player on the list.

But you all already knew that.

The third year of Jeremiah Smith will be scary.

HIS JURISDICTION. My brother. My captain. My king… My Warden.

In the wake of the Browns trading two-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year Myles Garrett to the Los Angeles Rams, Denzel Ward told reporters at his inaugural celebrity softball game that he wants to remain with the franchise.

“I definitely still want to be here,” Ward said. “Myles is a good friend of mine, a great teammate, but things aren’t lost. It’s Ohio against the world. So people could doubt us, but we’re going out there still trying to play our best ball and bring wins to the city.”

With Garrett gone, Ward becomes the longest-tenured player on the Browns, having been with the franchise for eight years. The Northeast Ohio native has two years remaining on the five-year, $100 million contract extension he signed in April 2022. There is no guaranteed money remaining on the deal.

Browns general manager Andrew Berry told reporters last week that Ward is still a cornerstone of the team and will remain so after the Garrett deal.

“He is a big part of the team, and we like him a lot,” he said last week. “He’s still playing at a really high level. That doesn’t change with this transaction.”

That’s music to my ears.

Last week was a tough one. Garrett was my favorite player on the Browns, so seeing him leave Cleveland was difficult to stomach. But hearing that Ward — a Buckeye through and through — wants to continue his career in Cleveland brought me some joy over the weekend.

The town will be just fine as long as the Warden is in charge.

PAUL KEELS — HALL OF FAMER. The longtime “Voice of the Buckeyes” added another honor to his decorated career this weekend, earning induction into the Ohio Basketball Hall of Fame.

Keels was one of 14 members of the Hall's 2026 induction class, joining a distinguished group of former players, coaches, officials and administrators. He was the only broadcaster selected.

Since arriving at Ohio State in 1998, Keels has served as the play-by-play voice for Buckeye football and men's basketball. Though he's best known for calling football games alongside former Ohio State All-American offensive lineman Jim Lachey each fall, Keels has also spent decades behind the microphone with former Buckeye guard Ron Stokes on basketball broadcasts.

A native of Cincinnati, Keels launched his broadcasting career at WLW Radio in 1979 as a news anchor and reporter. He moved to Detroit the following year, calling Detroit Pistons games on WJR Radio in 1980 and 1981 before joining WWJ Radio, where he handled Michigan football and basketball broadcasts from 1981-87.

After a short stop with UPI Radio Network in Washington, D.C., Keels returned to Cincinnati in 1988, covering the Bearcats and hosting a sports talk show on WCKY-AM. Over the next decade, he worked at several stations, including Dayton's WHIO Radio from 1992-95 before returning to WLW to call Cincinnati Bengals and Bearcats games from 1995-97.

In addition to nearly three decades as the voice of Ohio State athletics, Keels spent 10 years as a Bengals preseason television announcer for WRKC-TV from 2000-10 and also contributed to Cincinnati Reds television broadcasts in 2010.

TL;DR — Keels is one of the best to ever do it. This honor is well-deserved!

VUK LAZAREVIC — NO. 88? The Ohio State men's basketball roster is official, which means the Buckeyes' seven newcomers now have jersey numbers.

Stars John Mobley Jr. and Amare Bynum return in Nos. 0 and 1. There's also center Ivan Njegovan in No. 7, guard Myles Hero in No. 8, forward Josh Ojianwuna in No. 17 and guard Braylen Nash in No. 55.

As for the newcomers, Memphis transfer guard Curtis Givens III claimed No. 2, while Duquesne transfer guard Jimmie Williams took No. 3. Kentucky transfer forward Andrija Jelavic will wear No. 4, five-star freshman Anthony Thompson will wear No. 6, three-star freshman Alex Smith will wear No. 9, California transfer guard Justin Pippen will wear No. 10 ...

... and freshman Vuk Lazarevic will wear No. 88?

I checked twice. It's real.

The Serbian will be one of the easiest players to spot when he checks into a game this winter for two reasons. First, he's a 7-foot-1 Gigantor. Second, he's the only Buckeye wearing a number in the 80s.

He may even be the only player in college basketball wearing No. 88.

That, I haven't checked.

BRUCE THORNTON — RECORD BREAKER. One final basketball note before we wrap up the Skull Session: Bruce Thornton's program-record 2,164 points are now permanently etched inside the Schottenstein Center.

Last week, Ohio State men's basketball shared a look at the updated record wall, which now features Thornton at the top of the Buckeyes' all-time scoring list:

ESPN's latest Big Board ranks Thornton as the No. 52 overall prospect in the 2026 NBA draft.

Across four seasons at Ohio State, the 6-foot-2, 215-pound guard appeared in 136 games and averaged 15.9 points, 3.7 rebounds and 4.0 assists while shooting 48.6% from the floor and 38.1% from beyond the arc. His best season came in 2025-26, when he averaged 19.9 points, 5.1 rebounds and 3.9 assists per game while shooting 55.4% from the field and 40% from 3-point range.

Five-Star Ohio State Wide Receiver Commit Jamier Brown Wins OHSAA Division II 100-Meter State Title

Josh Poloha — Sunday, June 7, 2026 - 16:26

"He's fast. He's really, really fast. I mean, he's so fast, he makes fast people look... not fast."

Those were the words said by Unger in The Longest Yard.

The same can be said for five-star Ohio State wide receiver commit Jamier Brown, who won the OHSAA Division II 100-meter state title on Sunday.

Brown finished with a time of 10.42 seconds in the final after running the 100-meter dash in 10.47 seconds in the preliminaries. The 5-foot-11, 192-pounder set a Division II state record in the 100-meter (10.35 seconds) in the Lexington regional to qualify for the state meet.

He also won the 200-meter state title in Division II record 20.91 seconds, beating his then-record 20.94 time he ran last weekend in regionals. Brown was part of Big Walnut's 4x100-meter relay, which finished in 41.53 seconds (another Division II state record) to win the state title, his third championship of the day. With those three first-place finishes, including two record-setting runs on Sunday, Big Walnut won a share of the Division II team championship, the first state title in program history.

Brown has been committed to Ohio State since November 2023 and shut down his recruitment in May, saying that he wouldn't make any more visits to other programs (including Miami and Oregon) and is fully committed to the Buckeyes.

The fourth-ranked wide receiver (No. 21 overall) in the 2027 class, Brown will play his senior season of high school football at Big Walnut, about 25 miles north of OSU, where he transferred in January after previously playing for Wayne High School in Huber Heights.

Nebraska Softball Star Jordy Frahm Played in the Women's College World Series While Pregnant

Named the USA Softball Player of the Year, Frahm helped lead Nebraska to the WCWS...all while she was pregnant.

Frahm and her husband, Trey, announced the news on June 1, one day after the Cornhuskers were eliminated by Texas, who went on to win their second-straight national championship.

A post shared by Jordyn Frahm (@jordybahl)

With a list of accomplishments during her Nebraska career that is longer than a CVS receipt, including being a four-time first-team All-American, Gold Glover, Pitcher of the Year, WCWS Most Outstanding Player, and so much more, Frahm was a star on the field.

A two-time team captain, she slashed .403/.496/.806 (1.302 OPS) with 20 home runs and 51 RBI as a hitter; as a pitcher, she went 21-6 with a 1.37 ERA and 257 strikeouts in 189.2 innings in 2026. She became the first player in NCAA softball history to have back-to-back seasons of 20 home runs as a hitter and 20 wins as a pitcher.

"While this chapter may be ending, the person you helped shape will stay with me forever."

After tearing her ACL in February 2024, Frahm redshirted last year, which allowed her to play in 2026. It also allowed her to take a step back, a time that changed her career for the better. A one-of-one person turned it into a one-of-one career.

3-Point Sharpshooter Milan Momcilovic Transfers to Kentucky

The moment Momcilovic entered the transfer portal and the NBA draft process while maintaining his college eligibility, he instantly became one of the best players in the portal this offseason.

Many blue bloods were in on him, and his price tag would only increase throughout the bidding war, especially once he pulled his name out of the draft process to confirm that he would return to college. And that it did.

The 6-8 sharpshooter committed to Kentucky on Monday, over the likes of Louisville, Arizona and St. John's, among others. The price tag, you ask? Momcilovic is reportedly set to earn $6.5 million during the 2026-27 season with the Wildcats.

Milan Momcilovic received an NIL package over $6.5 million from Kentucky after winning a bidding war against Louisville and Arizona.

Momcilovic, projected as an early 2nd-round pick, will make more than the No. 8 overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft.

To put that in perspective, the 10th pick in the 2026 NBA draft is slotted to make $6,617,640 in their first season in the league.

Momcilovic averaged 16.9 points per game last season while shooting a Division I-best 48.7% from beyond the arc. His 136 3-pointers made were the fifth-most in the country.

Denison Wins Division III Baseball National Championship

Luke Montgomery Says Ohio State’s Offensive Line is Healthy, Motivated to Make Up for Last Season

Dan Hope — Saturday, June 6, 2026 - 15:40

Ohio State’s offensive line is back to full strength after an injury-plagued spring.

The Buckeyes were shorthanded in the trenches for the second half of the spring after Austin Siereveld and Phillip Daniels, last year’s starting offensive tackles, both underwent lower-body surgeries. Joshua Padilla, a contender for the starting job at right guard, was also sidelined by an undisclosed injury this spring. Jake Cook, a top backup on the interior offensive line, had his spring shortened by injury as well.

All of those Buckeyes are back on the field now as Ohio State goes through summer workouts, according to left guard Luke Montgomery.

“It's great to have the guys back. Everyone's back and healthy,” Montgomery said this week during an interview at the Memorial Tournament. “It's fun to see the guys moving around. They got fresh legs now, so they should be good to go.”

Given the injuries they dealt with this spring, there might not be any Ohio State position group that needs a strong summer more than the offensive line. Montgomery and his teammates are hungry to make up for how they ended last season, when they allowed five sacks in each of Ohio State’s final two games, a Big Ten Championship Game loss to Indiana and a College Football Playoff loss to Miami.

“We don't want to repeat history in that matter from last year,” Montgomery said. “When adversity hits, you learn a lot about yourself, and we learned a lot about where we're at and what we've got to grow and become for this upcoming season.”

The good news for the Buckeyes is they have plenty of returning experience in the trenches. Siereveld, Montgomery, center Carson Hinzman and Daniels are all back from last year’s starting lineup. Gabe VanSickle started at right guard in the Cotton Bowl, while Ian Moore played the second half of the Cotton Bowl at left tackle after Siereveld left that game with an injury.

Montgomery, Siereveld and Hinzman were all potential 2026 NFL draft picks if they chose to go pro, but each of them chose to stay at Ohio State for another year looking to finish their Buckeye careers on a better note.

“It's super valuable,” Montgomery said of the offensive line’s experience. “Having all the guys come back, it means a lot. Some of the guys could have left for the draft. And for all of us to come back, we know what the real goal is this year and what we've got to accomplish and stuff like that, it's going to be a lot of fun.”

“We don't want to repeat history in that matter from last year.” – Luke Montgomery on the offensive line’s struggles to end 2025

They’re part of an offense that returns eight total starters from last season – also including quarterback Julian Sayin, wide receivers Jeremiah Smith and Brandon Inniss and running back Bo Jackson – and Montgomery believes their collective experience will go a long way for the offense to elevate its game this season after scoring only 24 points in the final two games of last year.

“When you’ve been in it, it's a lot different,” Montgomery said. “When you're young and you haven't played in a certain game like the team up north game and stuff like that, it's different. It's hard to explain. But for those guys to have that opportunity to play in those games at a young age and stuff like that, they obviously grow and mature overnight and stuff like that, and it's been a lot of fun to see where they are now and where they're going to be at.”

What exactly Ohio State’s lineup will look like in the trenches is still to be determined during preseason camp. Montgomery and Hinzman are locked in as Ohio State’s starting left guard and center, but a strong spring from Moore at left tackle opened up the possibility of Siereveld moving to right guard. If Siereveld stays at left tackle, Moore could challenge Daniels at right tackle, while VanSickle and Padilla are each candidates to start at RG.

Summer workouts can only tell the Buckeyes so much about their offensive line, as the real tests won’t resume until they start padded practices in August. That said, Montgomery believes the next couple of months are important for the Buckeyes to get themselves ready for the season and continue to build chemistry with each other.

“We've got a lot to do this summer, a lot of workouts and stuff like that, but we've got to be in great shape when it comes to game time,” Montgomery said. “So that's what we're here for, and to continue to grow the culture and have a lot of fun with the guys.”

While the Buckeyes return nearly their entire offensive line from last season, the rest of the team around them has changed significantly, with 51 new players joining the team. But now that the Buckeyes old and new have gone through winter workouts, spring practices and are in the thick of summer workouts together, Montgomery feels good about how they’ve come together as a team.

“Light years ahead,” Montgomery said when asked how much closer the Buckeyes are as a team now than they were in January. “I've gotten super close with a lot of the guys, a lot of guys that are new, and I respect the heck out of them. A lot of these guys that came in, maybe not freshmen, but the transfers, they've experienced and been in big games. So I'm super excited to play with all the guys. It'll be a lot of fun.”

Now that he’s a senior, Montgomery is playing a leading role in bringing the team together, a role he’s embracing. But he also sees many other leaders emerging around him.

“I feel like a great leader. And I think we got a lot of leaders, too,” Montgomery said. “A big motto this year for us is you can lead no matter what. You can be a freshman, you can lead. We need leaders and we need people to rise to the occasion in the big moments and stuff like that. It doesn't matter who you are. But we have a team full of leaders and a team full of a lot of experience, so I'm super excited for this year. It's gonna be a lot of fun.”

While the Buckeyes are working hard this summer to ensure they’re ready for a tough regular-season schedule and the pursuit of another national championship, Montgomery enjoyed taking a break this week with a trip to the Memorial Tournament, where he participated in a football clinic alongside seven of his Ohio State teammates and this year’s Golden Cubs, a group of current and former Nationwide Children’s Hospital patients who have battled serious illnesses or injuries.

“I love it,” Montgomery said of going to the Memorial Tournament. “It's really cool to see the pro guys and the pro-am and just the people that contributed to this. I think this would be another major in my books, I think it is. It's just really cool to see all the people that come out and support just Columbus and the area and this beautiful course.”

Remember When: Ohio State Rejected an Invitation to the Rose Bowl, Yet the 8-0-1 Buckeyes Were Still Crowned National Champions in 1961

Josh Poloha — Saturday, June 6, 2026 - 14:35

Time and change will surely show, alright.

The way we view college football and its importance has certainly changed over the last 60-plus years.

The Rose Bowl is known as "The Granddaddy of Them All," a bowl game that many wish and dream they could play in. But in 1961, the Buckeyes declined an invitation to the game.

Following a dominant 50-20 win over Michigan, Ohio State finished the regular season 8-0-1, outscoring opponents 221-81 along the way while led by Heisman Trophy runner-up Bob Ferguson, Paul Warfield and Matt Snell, among others. Following their dominant regular season, the Buckeyes were invited to the Rose Bowl.

But that's where things became interesting, and the problems began.

There was a multi-year contract dispute between the Big Ten and the Rose Bowl. At the time, regional games garnered more attention than national championships. Another obstacle was a recruiting scandal involving Woody Hayes in 1955, after Hayes admitted in an interview with Sports Illustrated that he had given extra money to players in need, which was considered an NCAA infraction at the time.

The Ohio State faculty voted 28-25 against the Buckeyes participating. That vote came after a secret meeting of the athletic council, where the group of 10 people voted 6-4 in favor of the Buckeyes heading to Pasadena, California.

In the end, the faculty chose to have the focus remain on academics, as longtime secretary of the Ohio State University Alumni Association Jack Fullen had been questioning the overemphasis of football on OSU's campus.

The Rose Bowl bid ultimately went to Minnesota, and the Golden Gophers played UCLA in the game on New Year's Day.

The November 29, 1961, issue of The Lantern explained the situation 65 years ago:

Hayes, while disappointed, understood that he had to obey faculty members above him. Many OSU players also sided with Hayes' comments and the decision.

"Wrong, but they make the rules, and the football team must abide by rules off the field as well as on," Hayes said of the decision to skip out on the Rose Bowl. "I've thought this thing over and decided that it would be a real shame if this (issue) would cause a cleavage in the university. No football team is worth that.

"They (members of the Faculty Council) have a right to their opinion. If anyone were to override the council's decision, we couldn't stay in the Big Ten."

Following the decision, protests erupted on campus, which escalated into students marching downtown to voice their displeasure to the state capitol. But eventually, the protests stopped as fans accepted the outcome of the decision, thanks to football co-captain Mike Ingram.

“The team did all the damn work,” he yelled through a microphone. "If the team can accept the decision, you certainly can. Now go home.”

With Ohio State skipping out on the Rose Bowl, recruiting took a hit for Hayes' team.

“Players in Ohio think that Ohio State’s deemphasizing football: ‘They don’t want to go to bowl games,’ and talent started leaving the state,” Todd Jones, senior writer for the Alumni Magazine, said.

Due to that, Hayes changed the way he recruited and expanded the areas he recruited in, especially out of state. One player that benefited from that? Jack Tatum, a product of North Carolina and New Jersey and a member of a group of former Buckeyes considered the "Super Sophomores."

Ironically, Tatum helped lead Ohio State to a win over USC in the Rose Bowl later that decade, securing the 1968 national championship. Thanks to a 36-20 vote by OSU's faculty council following that title game, the Big Ten and the Rose Bowl approved a new contract in 1969.

With Minnesota defeating UCLA in the Rose Bowl, Ohio State was crowned national champions in 1961 by the Football Writers Association of America, despite rejecting a spot in the Rose Bowl.

Ohio State’s Games at Texas and Indiana Listed As Pick ’Ems; Buckeyes Favored By One Score vs. Oregon and USC, Two Touchdowns vs. Michigan

Dan Hope — Friday, June 5, 2026 - 16:15

Betting lines are now available for half of Ohio State’s 2026 football games.

After DraftKings released more betting lines for the biggest games of the 2026 college football season this week, odds are now available for six of Ohio State’s 12 regular-season games.

Two of those games are listed as pick ’ems: Ohio State’s Week 2 road game at Texas and its Oct. 17 road game at Indiana. The Buckeyes are listed as 1.5-point underdogs for those games by FanDuel, but DraftKings views both games as dead even; a bet on either Ohio State or its opponent for either of those games right now would require an $11 bet to win $10.

Ohio State is listed as a one-score favorite for its Oct. 31 road game at USC and its Nov. 7 home game vs. Oregon. DraftKings lists the Buckeyes as a 7.5-point favorite to beat the Trojans in Los Angeles, while Ohio State opened as a 6-point favorite to beat the Ducks in Columbus one week later. FanDuel has not posted lines for those games.

DraftKings gives Ohio State a full two-touchdown edge in The Game, installing the Buckeyes as a 14-point favorite over Michigan for the Nov. 28 regular-season finale. As with the Texas and Indiana games, DraftKings’ line for The Game is tilted more toward Ohio State than the line on FanDuel, where Ohio State is just an 11.5-point favorite over Michigan as of Friday afternoon.

Ohio State is listed as a 50.5-point favorite for its season opener vs. Ball State on both DraftKings and FanDuel.

Ohio State Betting Lines for 2026 Season
Date	Opponent	Location	DraftKings	FanDuel
Sept. 5	Ball State	Home	Ohio State -50.5	Ohio State -50.5
Sept. 12	Texas	Away	Pick ’em	Texas -1.5
Oct. 17	Indiana	Away	Pick ’em	Indiana -1.5

Nov. 7	Oregon	Home	Ohio State -6	N/A
Nov. 28	Michigan	Home	Ohio State -14	Ohio State -11.5

DraftKings lists Ohio State as the favorite to win the national championship (+650) and Big Ten (+180). DraftKings projects the Buckeyes will go 10-2 during the regular season; Ohio State is listed as a -166 favorite to win over 9.5 games, but the line of under 10.5 regular-season wins is projected as even more likely (-210).

FanDuel also lists Ohio State as the favorite to win the national championship (+550) and Big Ten (+185). FanDuel lists Ohio State’s over/under for regular-season wins at 9.5 with the line shaded toward the over (-164 for over 9.5 wins, +134 for under 9.5 wins).

Ohio State Hosts Three More Uncommitted Prospects in Second Official Visit Weekend for 2027 Class

Dan Hope — Friday, June 5, 2026 - 08:35

Ohio State’s three uncommitted official visitors this weekend aren’t quite as heralded as the official visitors Ohio State hosted last weekend, but it’s still an important weekend for the Buckeyes as they build their 2027 recruiting class.

There was no question where each of Ohio State’s first official visitors of the summer stood on the Buckeyes’ board. Running back David Gabriel Georges, defensive lineman Marcus Fakatou and wide receiver Benny Easter Jr. – all five-star prospects – are all top-of-the-board targets whom the Buckeyes are aggressively trying to add to their 2027 class. Even though Ohio State didn’t land immediate commitments from any of them, the Buckeyes appear to have a good shot at landing all of them after making strong impressions on them and their families.

Where exactly this weekend’s uncommitted official visitors stand on Ohio State’s board is a little less clear. None of them are top-300 overall prospects in the 247Sports composite rankings, giving the Buckeyes more to consider in terms of how hard they should push for commitments and how much NIL money they should offer.

That said, the Buckeyes wouldn’t be bringing them in for official visits if there wasn’t real mutual interest on both sides. And at least two of them are candidates to commit to Ohio State by the end of the month, with one potentially being a candidate to pick the Buckeyes as soon as this weekend.

This weekend’s official visitors include a pair of four-star prospects, cornerback Jaden Carey and running back Jayden Miles, as well as three-star linebacker Kaylon Bailey. They’ll be joined on campus by three of Ohio State’s 2027 commits: defensive end Wyatt Smith and safeties Eli Johnson and Angelo Smith.

As their visits begin Friday, we’re taking a look below at each of those official visitors and what to know about their recruitments as they make their way to Columbus.

CB Jaden Carey

Among this weekend’s official visitors, Carey is the one to put on commit watch. Even though his father, Marcus Carey, played for the Miami Hurricanes and Jaden made an official visit to The U last week, Ohio State is viewed as the frontrunner in his recruitment heading into his trip to Columbus.

Ohio State is still seeking its first cornerback commitment for the 2027 class, but that could change this weekend if Carey’s visit goes well. Although he’s ranked as only the No. 39 cornerback in the class in the 247Sports composite, he’s one of the top prospects on Tim Walton’s board for the current recruiting cycle.

Carey is also scheduled to visit Auburn later this month, and Ohio State will have to decide just how hard it wants to push for Carey as it prepares to host three more four-star cornerbacks – in-state prospects Monsanna Torbert Jr. and Deontay Malone, and Georgia prospect Bryce Woods – next weekend.

That said, the Buckeyes also lost a top cornerback target this week when top-40 national prospect Gabriel Osborne Jr. committed to Oklahoma. That raises the stakes for Carey’s visit this weekend, and raises the possibility that the weekend could end with Carey committing to Ohio State.

RB Jayden Miles

Miles’ recruitment is directly connected to the Buckeyes’ pursuit of Gabriel Georges. Because Gabriel Georges is Ohio State’s clear-cut No. 1 target at running back for the 2027 class, it’s unlikely the Buckeyes would accept a commitment from Miles right now, not wanting to do anything to jeopardize their position as the frontrunner for DGG.

Miles’ official visit to Ohio State this weekend is still important, though, because he’s the only running back other than Gabriel Georges who’s scheduled to make an official visit to OSU this month. Another running back who had been expected to make a June visit, Nigel Newkirk, committed to Alabama after visiting the Crimson Tide last weekend.

Florida State emerged as the frontrunner to land Miles after he made an official visit to Tallahassee last weekend, and a commitment to the Seminoles could come sooner rather than later after he canceled his scheduled official visits to LSU and Kentucky. But as the Buckeyes still have to fend off Tennessee, Ole Miss and Georgia for Gabriel Georges, they’ll do their best to stay in the race for Miles this weekend to keep him on the board as their No. 2 RB target.

Miles is the only offensive player making an official visit to Ohio State this weekend. He was expected to be joined by Eric McFarland III, but the five-star wide receiver canceled his trip to Columbus earlier this week, choosing to play in the SEC instead as he will choose from a final four of Florida, Georgia, Tennessee and Texas A&M.

LB Kaylon Bailey

Bailey’s composite ranking as the No. 743 overall prospect in the 2027 class doesn’t stand out. Where he plays his high school football certainly does, though, as Bailey comes from the same Glenville program that produced recent star Ohio State linebacker Arvell Reese and five-star freshman linebacker Cincere Johnson, as well as other Ohio State stars like Troy Smith, Ted Ginn Jr., Donte Whitner, Marshon Lattimore and Cardale Jones.

That’s a big reason why Bailey has emerged as a top candidate to round out Ohio State’s linebacker class alongside Prince Goldsby – who made his official visit to Ohio State last week, just days after committing to the Buckeyes – and Quinton Cypher. Like Reese, Bailey is an athletic, versatile prospect who could line up at both linebacker and edge, and the track record of success that Tarblooders have had as Buckeyes makes him a great choice to be a developmental prospect in James Laurinaitis’ unit.

Ohio State rarely misses on Glenville prospects that it wants, so the Buckeyes are viewed as the favorite to land Bailey when he makes his commitment on June 25. They still need to close the deal, though, as Louisville and West Virginia are also major contenders in his recruitment after hosting him for official visits over the past week.

DE Wyatt Smith

Ohio State’s highest-ranked official visitor this weekend, Smith – the No. 78 overall prospect in the 2027 class – makes his way to Columbus just a few weeks after committing to the Buckeyes on May 17.

Smith’s commitment appears rock-solid entering his official visit as Ohio State made him a top-priority target at defensive end alongside fellow commit DJ Jacobs. What makes the timing of Smith’s visit interesting is that he’ll be visiting alongside Carey, his St. Thomas Aquinas High School teammate, making Smith a crucial peer-recruiter who could help push a commitment across the finish line.

S Eli Johnson

Johnson committed to Ohio State last November, and there’s been no drama in his recruitment since, as the four-star safety from Texas ranked as the 173rd overall prospect in the class is firmly committed to the Buckeyes.

Given his position in the secondary, Johnson could also play the role of peer-recruiter for Carey this weekend. As for Johnson, this weekend will be an opportunity for Ohio State to continue laying out its vision for his future in Columbus and why the Buckeyes pushed for his early commitment to be a building block of their 2027 class.

S Angelo Smith

Among Ohio State’s three committed official visitors, Angelo Smith’s visit may be the most meaningful of the weekend as the Buckeyes look to fend off a flip effort from South Florida and former Ohio State offensive coordinator/wide receivers coach Brian Hartline.

A three-star safety, Smith has been committed to Ohio State since September, but has a close relationship with Hartline thanks to his older brother, Ohio State wide receiver Jeremiah Smith. USF may be able to sell Smith on a quicker path to the field, as the No. 843 overall prospect in the 2027 class would be a developmental prospect for the Buckeyes, but he remains committed to Ohio State, where the Buckeyes hope to see him continue what’s already become a spectacular family legacy in Columbus.

Ohio State’s Kevin Griffin Named Next Oregon State Athletic Director

Chase Brown — Friday, June 5, 2026 - 08:17

Kevin Griffin is headed from one OSU to another.

The Ohio State athletics administrator was named Thursday as Oregon State's next athletic director. Griffin, who has been with the Buckeyes since 2022, will begin his tenure with the Beavers on Saturday. He replaces Scott Barnes in the role, who announced his retirement in March.

Equipped to chart a bold path forward.

— The Beavs (@BeaverAthletics) June 4, 2026

In a statement announcing his hire on Thursday, Oregon State president Jayathi Murthy praised Griffin for his track record in business strategy and revenue generation.

“A changemaker with a clear vision for OSU’s athletics programs, Kevin is a former student-athlete who is passionate about ensuring that today’s student-athletes not only have the resources and support to win at the highest levels of competition but also to develop academically and succeed long after their careers,” Murthy wrote. “Kevin is a proven leader and brand builder with a strong record of revenue generation. … Kevin’s expertise in business strategy, revenue generation and marketing positions Oregon State Athletics as an innovative, national leader, aggressively and proactively adapting to the ever-changing landscape of college athletics.”

An Ohio State wide receiver from 1995-98, Griffin is the nephew of Buckeye legend Archie Griffin, college football’s only two-time Heisman Trophy winner. Before he returned to Ohio State in 2022, Griffin was the senior vice president for marketing and brand strategy for the MLS’ D.C. United and worked in managerial roles for the NFL's Cleveland Browns and Seattle Seahawks.

For the past four years, Griffin has served as Ohio State's associate vice president for brand engagement, services and partnerships and associate director of athletics business strategy. Most recently, he led a department committee exploring potential renovations to Ohio Stadium, a process that included a fan survey released in April.

Yeah, I like those answers.

“I DON’T TAKE BACK WHAT I SAID.” Eric Weddle has doubled down: Michigan’s Bryce Underwood is a no-good, very-bad quarterback.

OK, that’s not exactly what he said, but it’s close.

“Don’t be surprised if the backup’s playing early because that Underwood kid, I don’t think he can throw or play quarterback,” Weddle said on a podcast last month.

During a Tuesday appearance on The Rich Eisen Show — which came after he revealed on another podcast that Michigan fans had sent death threats to him and his family over his criticism of Underwood — Weddle stood by his original comments about the Wolverines’ $10 million man.

“I don’t take back what I said,” Weddle told Eisen. “Hearing it doesn’t come off very well, but the point is, you have to play quarterback a certain way to win a national championship. My understanding of Michigan is that they expect national championships. These kids are paid to play a certain way. What I saw from two games last year, and (when) I went out to spring ball, I saw not very good QB play.”

Weddle got an up-close look at Underwood during a visit to Ann Arbor with his son, Gaige, a top-100 prospect in the 2028 class (and an Ohio State target!). His assessment remains that Underwood is athletic and immensely talented but far from a finished product.

“Is he talented? Yes. Is he a freak of nature? Yeah. No one’s denying that,” Weddle told Eisen. “I’m not naive to that, but I do know what high-level championship quarterback play looks like. I tried stopping these guys my whole career. My expectation when I watch quarterbacks is, ‘Can he lead this team to a championship or not?’”

Weddle played at Utah from 2003-06, overlapping with Michigan coach Kyle Whittingham, who served as his defensive coordinator for two seasons and head coach for two more. If Weddle is willing to make these comments publicly, I wonder what he’s saying privately to one of his longtime mentors.

In his interview with Eisen, Weddle shifted responsibility for Underwood's shortcomings away from Whittingham and Michigan quarterbacks coach Jason Beck, who coached under Whittingham at Utah before joining the Wolverines' staff.

“I know the coaches that are coaching (him) and doing the best they can,” Weddle said. “I don’t know (Underwood) from anything. I just go off what I see, and what I saw was not good.”

Oh, this does put a smile on my face.

JEREMIAH SMITH, COVER STAR. Jeremiah Smith will grace another magazine cover in 2026.

One year after Smith and Alabama's Ryan Williams appeared as cover athletes for EA Sports College Football 26, the record-breaking Ohio State wide receiver has landed on the Midwest/Northwest edition of ESPN's College Football Preview magazine.

Unfortunately, Smith isn't alone.

The 128-page season preview also features Notre Dame quarterback CJ Carr and ... Bryce Underwood.

A shame, really.

Maybe you can cover Underwood up with some Wite-Out.

Better yet, grab a pair of scissors and cut him out entirely.

Either option works!

THE UNGOVERNABLE COLLEGE FOOTBALL. In fall 2025, MAC commissioner Jon Steinbrecher shared his growing resentment toward the Big Ten, SEC, Big 12 and ACC for calling all the shots in college football.

“Moving forward, it is becoming more and more clear that the path to success is less fragmentation, more collaboration among all of us — certainly among the 10 FBS (conferences), and certainly among the five or six non-autonomous FBS (conferences),” Steinbrecher said at a MAC football kickoff event.

Less than a year later, college football feels like a pipe bomb with a lit fuse.

Iowa State athletic director Jamie Pollard has essentially dared the Big Ten and SEC to break away from the rest of the sport and create a Super League. Georgia coach Kirby Smart seemingly wants to do it, with or without the Big Ten.

Essentially, it’s every conference for itself — and every school for itself.

The House v. NCAA settlement was intended to bring stability by limiting how much schools could spend on their rosters and by creating a new entity, the College Sports Commission, to vet third-party NIL deals and ensure compliance with the settlement terms.

Apparently, that wasn’t enough to make the wealthiest schools play by the rules they helped create, so the chaos continued. Maybe — just maybe — the Protect College Sports Act can rein it in, but don’t count on it.

“If you look up the term ‘ungovernable,’ I am convinced a handful of conference logos pop up, and they’re all autonomy logos,” Steinbrecher said.

Fed up with what he called a “consistent and persistent power grab” by the biggest conferences, Steinbrecher turned to country music to describe the state of college sports. The song, a duet between Kacey Musgraves and Willie Nelson, is called “Uncertain, TX,” about a place where “nobody ever makes up their dusty old love-bombin’, snake charmin’, bull-s—in’, heart-breakin’, god-forsaken, dumbass mind.”

As the leaders mull over decisions, the fuse gets shorter.

Steinbrecher doesn’t want to see the bomb go off.

At this rate, college football may not have much choice.
