What’s up with Ohio State football’s tight ends heading into spring practice?
Mar 13, 202500:54:16Tap to summarizeKeenan Bailey might have his deepest group since becoming Ohio State's tight end coach.He returns three of the top four players in snaps from last season, with the only departure being wide receiver-turned-tight end Gee Scott Jr. He's been replaced by what might be the most talented player OSU's seen at the position in some time thanks to adding Purdue transfer Max Klare.This group has a handful of players coming into a spring where it can accomplish quite a lot. Tight ends haven't often been the headliners of the offense, doing much of the dirty work. But this spring is a chance to become more than just that, even if the talent around them is still high.On this episode of Buckeye Talk, Stephen Means, Stefan Krajisnik and Andrew Gillis preview the offensive line, looking at all the names, goals for the spring and the group’s ceiling.

Mar 7, 202501:05:44Tap to summarizeOhio State's safety room is home to the nation's best returning defensive player in Caleb Downs. Then a lot of questions after that.Downs is the only known commodity at a position that arguably had the nation's best tandem in 2024 with him and Lathan Ransom.
