Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning

In this episode of Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning, Ohio State quarterbacks coach Corey Dennis discusses his position room. He breaks down the three quarterbacks he had this spring -- Kyle McCord, Devin Brown, and Tristan Gebbia. Dennis discusses what McCord and Brown do well and what makes them each the next possible quarterback to uphold a lofty standard for the Buckeyes. Dennis also talks about freshman Lincoln Kienholz, who arrives this week. What do they like about Kienholz and why were they okay with him enrolling this summer? Corey Dennis discusses all of this and much more.

In 2022, safety Sonny Styles played only a very limited role until close to the end of the season, and linebacker CJ Hicks didn't play a single snap on defense all year. Now, entering their second season as Buckeyes, both former 5-star recruits seem poised to take on much bigger roles in 2023.

In this episode of the Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning podcast, you'll hear directly from Ohio State defensive coordinator Jim Knowles about his plans for those two talented players, and more.

It has been a busy year for Ohio State offensive coordinator Brian Hartline. He's adjusting to a new job title, helping oversee a battle for the starting quarterback job, juggling an immensely-talented room of wide receivers, dealing with some Transfer Portal departures, and much more.

On this episode of the Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning podcast you'll hear about all of that and much more.

The Ohio State football program delivered a sort of State of the Union update as the program turns the page to summer workouts, camps, and official recruiting visits.

Eleven members of the coaching staff met with the media on Tuesday, including offensive coordinator Brian Hartline, defensive coordinator Jim Knowles, each of the position coaches, and strength coach Mickey Marotti.

What did we learn? Kevin Noon of BuckeyeHuddle.com joins host Tom Orr to discuss some of their big takeaways from the day, and make sure you check out the video version on YouTube for a very special cameo appearance by Knowles: https://youtu.be/9jNuQletKjA

Ohio State's 2022 season ended with a missed field goal in the final seconds of the Peach Bowl. Now, after the departure of Noah Ruggles, who will take over as the Buckeyes' top kicker in 2023?

Tony Gerdeman of BuckeyeHuddle.com joins host Tom Orr to discuss that and several other top storylines on special teams for this fall.

• The return of Jesse Mirco gives Ohio State a weapon at punter
• Who will be returning kickoffs and punts for the Buckeyes this fall?
• Do the lingering questions on offense put more pressure on the return game?

The Ohio State football program just offered a scholarship to in-state 2025 quarterback prospect Tavien St. Clair from Bellefontaine. He's the second Ohio QB prospect in the class to earn an offer, joining Findlay's Ryan Montgomery.

So what has changed in St. Clair's game to earn him a Buckeye offer? Would Ryan Day's program be willing to accept commitments from both in-state standouts? And how does 5-star prospect Bryce Underwood fit into the picture?

Marc Givler of BuckeyeHuddle.com has just seen each of these three top prospects in person. He joins host Tom Orr to break down the latest developments in Ohio State's 2025 quarterback recruiting, and what it could mean for the future of the Buckeyes' program.

From 2001 to 2019, Ohio State dominated its arch-rivals from Michigan, winning 17 of 19 matchups. But following a year without The Game in 2020, the Wolverines have rebounded with back-to-back wins over the Buckeyes.

How has that changed the dynamics of the rivalry, and what will it mean moving forward?

Marcus Hartman of the Dayton Daily News just wrote about that, including some thoughts from former Ohio State head coach Jim Tressel and former OSU quarterback and current ESPN commentator Kirk Herbstreit.

Marcus joins host Tom Orr to share his thoughts on the state of the rivalry, and how things might change again next season with the arrival of the 12-team College Football Playoff.

At the end of spring practice, Ohio State head coach Ryan Day mentioned the offensive line, and particularly the right tackle position as an area where the Buckeyes still had work to do before the start of the season.

Now, after the addition of former San Diego State tackle Josh Simmons in the Transfer Portal, has the offensive line moved down the Buckeyes' list of concerns?

Tony Gerdeman of BuckeyeHuddle.com joins host Tom Orr to discuss that and much more.

• Is the battle for the starting center job done? Or is Carson Hinzman still fighting to solidify that position?
• How confident is the coaching staff in Josh Fryar at the left tackle spot?
• And could a position change potentially be the answer for any of the areas of concern?

As the calendar turns to June in just over a week, things are starting to heat up on the recruiting trail for the Ohio State football program.

Alex Gleitman of BuckeyeHuddle.com joins host Tom Orr to discuss some of the biggest storylines to watch this summer for the future of the Buckeye football program.

• Can Ohio State land four in-state defensive backs who are also being chased by some of the midwest's other top programs?
• Is 5-star linebacker Sammy Brown suddenly a much more viable target for James Laurinaitis and the Buckeyes?
• How is Ohio State changing its strategy in recruiting edge rushers after a disastrous end to the 2023 recruiting cycle?
• Plus, an update on 5-star WR commit Jeremiah Smith after his weekend visit to Georgia. Is there legitimate cause for concern for Ohio State fans?

The state of Ohio will always form the foundation of any Ohio State recruiting class, but the Buckeyes always seem to pull some of their most talented players out of the south each year as well.

So who will be the next future Ohio State stars from Florida, Georgia, and elsewhere in the south?

Kevin Noon of BuckeyeHuddle.com has met with more than two dozen of the south's top players as part of the annual Southern Swing trip. He joins host Tom Orr to discuss some of the players from his trip including:

• Jeremiah Smith: the 5-star wide receiver is already committed to Ohio State, but is still planning visits to other schools. How concerned should Buckeye fans be?
• Jojo Trader: will be an impact player at the next level, whether at wide receiver or cornerback, but will that happen in Columbus?
• Malachi Toney: an early look at a 2026 prospect who could be another great Buckeye wide receiver out of the Sunshine State
• Jayden Jackson: Will he give Larry Johnson another big body on the inside of the defensive line?
