Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning

Ohio State doesn't offer scholarships to many high school freshmen, but there are exceptions for a select few.

On this episode of Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning, you'll hear about four 2026 prospects who are already getting a lot of attention from Ohio State.

• Chris Henry, Jr., the son of the former Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver is already making a name for himself at the high school level after a dominating performance at OSU camp last summer. Are the Buckeyes the front-runner to land him?
• Julian Lewis put up video game numbers as a freshman quarterback while leading his team to the state championship game in Georgia, and he already has scholarship offers from some of the biggest names in the sport, including the Buckeyes.
• Maxwell Riley is already big enough and talented enough to earn all-region honors as the starting left tackle for Avon Lake High School. Is Ohio State close to offering him?
• And Tyler Atkinson was impressive enough at Ohio State's camp to earn an offer before he even started high school. Can the Buckeyes pull him out of Georgia?

Ohio State's defensive line room features a number of players who could be poised for major breakout seasons in 2023.

That list starts with third-year defensive ends JT Tuimoloau and Jack Sawyer. What do they need to improve, and will Sawyer play a more traditional defensive end role instead of the Jack or Leo spot this season?

What about second-year players like Hero Kanu, Caden Curry, Kenyatta Jackson, and Omari Abor? Are they ready to take on a bigger role this fall?

And how has NIL changed how the Buckeyes recruit defensive lineman? How has it impacted their sales pitch to recruits?

With National Signing Day 2023 now in the rear-view mirror, the Ohio State Buckeyes have turned their attention to the 2024 recruiting class, and so has Alex Gleitman of BuckeyeHuddle.com.

He joins host Tom Orr to break down Ohio State's biggest positions of need on that side of the ball in the 2024 recruiting cycle, and some of the players they're hoping to land to fill those spots.

Brian Hartline has a new job title for 2023, now serving as Ohio State's offensive coordinator. Will that role change also put one of the best recruiters in the nation in a position to take a bigger role recruiting at other positions?

In this episode of the Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning podcast, you'll hear directly from Hartline on that and a number of other topics.

• What has he learned about playcalling from Ryan Day?
• Is he ready to start calling the offense right now?
• How has NIL impacted how - and who - he recruits?
• Is he comfortable with where the Buckeyes are with NIL right now?
• What do the young wide receivers need to show to get on the field this fall?

Ohio State's defensive line includes some of the nation's best recruits from the classes of 2021 and 2022. Now, with the departures of veterans like Zach Harrison, Taron Vincent, Jerron Cage, and Tyler Friday, young standouts like JT Tuimoloau, Jack Sawyer, Mike Hall, and Tyleik Williams could be poised for a major breakout.

Tony Gerdeman of BuckeyeHuddle.com joins host Tom Orr to discuss how Larry Johnson could line those players up this fall, and some of the intriguing combinations Buckeye fans could see on the field in 2023.

James Laurinaitis was a two-time captain and three-time all-American as a player at Ohio State. Now, as the newest member of the Buckeyes' coaching staff, Laurinaitis has a chance to help recruit and develop the next great Ohio State linebackers.

In this episode of Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning, you'll hear directly from Lauriainatis on nine different subjects including:

• What made him want to coach at Ohio State?
• How will he and Jim Knowles split up the responsibilities for the linebackers?
• Was Brian Hartline an inspiration for what he could do as a player-turned-coach?
• What were his first impressions of former 5-star recruit and second-year LB CJ Hicks?
• And much more.

This will be a busy spring and summer for the Ohio State football program as it tries to replace a number of key starters all around the field. But the positional battles that could have the biggest impact on the Buckeyes' record this fall could come along the offensive line.

Tony Gerdeman of BuckeyeHuddle.com has been tracking those positional battles in an updated look at a projected depth chart for the season. He joins host Tom Orr to break down where things stand in a wide-open race up front.

Ohio State head coach Ryan Day had a lot of interesting things to say this week about some of the biggest storylines for the 2023 Buckeye football team.

On this episode of Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning, you'll hear directly from Day on:

• Who he talked to about the hit that knocked Marvin Harrison, Jr. out of the Peach Bowl
• When he's hoping to have the Buckeyes' quarterback starter identified
• Why he's now willing to potentially give up playcalling this season
• How NIL has impacted the program, and what could be in store in the coming months

Is Ryan Day really going to hand over playcalling duties this fall?

When are the Buckeyes expecting to have a starting quarterback identified?

What's the plan for the 2023 Ohio State offensive line?

Does the aggressiveness of Jim Knowles' defense need to get dialed back?

Kevin Noon and Tom Orr of BuckeyeHuddle.com got to talk to Ohio State football coaches for several hours on Wednesday, and discuss the answers to those questions and more on this episode of Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning.

It has been a busy week already on the recruiting trail for the Ohio State football team, which means it's a good thing BuckeyeHuddle.com just launched its new daily recruiting feature "Eyes On The Trail."

Marc Givler and Alex Gleitman of BuckeyeHuddle.com are adding even more exclusive recruiting insights and analysis, just for members of the site.

On today's show, Marc joins host Tom Orr to discuss a few of the big stories they've been covering already this week.

• The addition of freshman all-American Davison Igbinosun from Ole Miss. Where will he fit on this year's OSU team, and how soon will he be on campus?
• The Buckeyes sent out yet another offer to an in-state offensive lineman on Tuesday. How many players will they take there this cycle?
• And with James Laurinaitis now on the coaching staff as a graduate assistant for the linebackers, how much of an impact could he have on recruiting this year?
