The first weekend of official visits is here, and there is going to be a loaded slate of visitors in Columbus. A trio of five-star prospects in the 2026 class will be at Ohio State, and the Buckeyes will make their pitch to try to land their commitments. 

Andrew Ellis of BuckeyeHuddle.com joins host Tom Orr to discuss 5-star OT Felix Ojo, 5-star RB Savion Hiter, and 5-star LB Xavier Griffin, and how likely each is to end up signing with Ohio State.

Ohio State could be close to landing another elite player from the famous Glenville pipeline, but Kalen DeBoer and the Alabama Crimson Tide aren't going to make it easy.

So will the Buckeyes land a commitment from 2026 LB Cincere Johnson when he announces his pick on June 19? 

Andrew Ellis of BuckeyeHuddle.com joins host Tom Orr to discuss that and much more, including:

• The potential kickoff time for the Ohio State vs. Texas game, which could be announced Thursday.
• Richard Wesley, the defensive lineman who commited to Oregon by jumping in a pool with Dan Lanning, has decommitted, and will visit the Buckeyes soon.
• Some potential changes in recruiting at safety for Ohio State. Could they really end up with a pair of 5-stars?

Every year since Ryan Day took over the Ohio State program before the 2019 season, the Buckeyes have been in the thick of the national championship race deep into the season. 

Which of those seasons were the ones where Ohio State was in the best position to potentially win it all, and where does the upcoming 2025 season rank on that list?

Tony Gerdeman of BuckeyeHuddle.com joins host Tom Orr to answer those questions, including how the 12-team playoff changes their odds, how a challenging schedule could help - or hurt - and more.

FOX's Urban Meyer made some interesting comments recently on his podcast, stating that the Big Ten has passed the SEC in the college football conference hierarchy. Was he right?

In this special bonus episode, Garrett Searight of the Daily Huddle podcast discusses that. If you enjoy this episode, make sure to subscribe to the Daily Huddle wherever you get Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning.

Brian Hartline has stacked elite wide receiver recruiting classes on top of each other for years, turning his position room into the best in the nation. 

Now, with four players already committed for 2026, is Hartline looking to add another player in this class? Or is he ready to move on to 2027?

Andrew Ellis of BuckeyeHuddle.com joins host Tom Orr to discuss that, as well as a trio of elite 2027 prospects who all play their high school football relatively close to Columbus. 

The defending national champion Ohio State football team is seemingly always in the national spotlight, turning many Buckeye stars into household names before they finish college. But there are also players who fly under the radar, and who might be underappreciated or simply not talked about as much as they should be. 

In this episode of the Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning podcast, Tony Gerdeman of BuckeyeHuddle.com joins host Tom Orr to discuss the five most underrated players on the 2025 Ohio State football team. Ranging from first-time starters like fifth-year defensive back Lorenzo Styles, Jr., to established names like Carnell Tate, who may be overshadowed by bigger stars in their position group, there is a lot to discuss.

Savion Hiter, the top running back in the nation in the class of 2026 is scheduled to make an official visit to Ohio State in about a week, but the Buckeyes have a lot of competition to try to sign the 5-star standout from Virginia, including from their archrivals in Ann Arbor. 

Andrew Ellis of BuckeyeHuddle.com joins host Tom Orr to discuss the latest in Carlos Locklyn's pursuit of Hiter, as well as other elite running backs from across the nation, including Derrek Cooper from Florida, Georgia's Carsyn Baker, and in-state prospect Favour Akih.

Who is most likely to end up signing with Ohio State? You'll hear about that and much more on this episode of the Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning podcast.  

The Ohio State Buckeyes just added a new quarterback to their 2025 roster, bringing former Houston Christian QB Eli Brickhandler to Columbus. 

Brickhandler has previous starting experience, so what kind of impact could he have on this year's Buckeye football team as he joins Lincoln Kienholz, Julian Sayin, and Tavien St. Clair in the OSU quarterback room?

Tony Gerdeman of BuckeyeHuddle.com joins host Tom Orr to discuss that and more on this episode of the Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning podcast.

On the latest edition of Buckeye Banter, Seth Shaner is joined by former all-Big Ten point guard Jamar Butler.

The two talk about Butler being a bridge from being recruited by Jim O'Brien to playing for Thad Matta, and also the 2006 Big Ten title team to the 2007 NCAA runner up team.

When you talk about Ohio State recruiting coverage, you have to talk about the Southern Swing, the big annual trip across the south that Marc Givler and Kevin Noon of BuckeyeHuddle.com make every year. 

The fellas just returned home after this year's trip, which spanned more than 5,000 miles and included interviews with some of the nation's absolute best high school football players. 

Kevin joins host Tom Orr to discuss some of his biggest takeaways from the trip, including which player on each side of the ball was most impressive, which is most likely to end up playing his college football for the Buckeyes, the most impressive player away from the field, and much more. 

You'll hear about 5-star OT Felix Ojo, 5-star LB Tyler Atkinson, 4-star DE PJ Dean, and many more.
