Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning

The Buckeyes pulled off a bit of a stunner on Monday morning with the verbal commitment of Baton Rouge (La.) safety Blaine Bradford. The class of 2026 star is a 247 composite five-star and a rare pull out of the state of Louisiana.

Bradford checks in at 6-foot-1, 207 pounds and truly was a national prospect with more than 30 offers and that number surely would have swelled if the recruitment carried on through the summer.

Kevin Noon of BuckeyeHuddle.com joins host Tom Orr to break down the impact of Bradford's commitment, and what it could mean for Ohio State's 2026 recruiting class.

In this special bonus episode you'll hear a great conversation between Seth Shaner and former Ohio State linebacker Curtis Grant. 

The two discuss Curtis's decision to come to Ohio State, the trials he faced in his first few seasons and the storybook 2014 campaign that ended in a national championship. Grant currently runs Pure Greens High Street in Columbus with his wife.

New Ohio State defensive coordinator Matt Patricia has a lot of experience coaching with teams coming off of championship seasons. He was the defensive coordinator for three New England Patriots teams that won the Super Bowl, and knows the challenges that come with trying to defend a title. That's why he had such an interesting answer when he was asked about that earlier this week. 

In this episode of the Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning podcast, you'll hear that and much more from Patricia, including updates on recruiting, why he was so intrigued by CJ Hicks, and much more.

Coming off of a national championship season, and with star wide receivers like Jeremiah Smith and Carnell Tate returning, the Ohio State offense was already on track to have a solid 2025 season. And that was before the Buckeyes added Max Klare, the top available tight end, in the transfer portal. 

How could Klare impact the Ohio State offense this fall, and is this the deepest tight end room in program history?

In this episode of the Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning podcast, you'll hear from OSU tight ends coach Keenan Bailey, and TE Max Klare about that and much more.

For the second time this week, new Ohio State offensive line coach Tyler Bowen has added a commit to his 2026 recruiting class. This time it's Tucker Smith, a 3-star prospect out of Glendale, Arizona. 

In this episode, you'll hear Marc Givler and Kevin Noon of BuckeyeHuddle.com breaking down the impact of Smith's commitment on Ohio State's 2026 recruiting class.

The Ohio State football program held its annual Pro Day on Wednesday, allowing former players to showcase their 40-yard dash times, bench press reps, and more. So which Buckeyes had the best days to boost their stock for the NFL Draft?

We'll take a run through some of the most impressive numbers, and let you hear from OSU head coach Ryan Day, OL Donovan Jackson and Seth McLaughlin, and DE Jack Sawyer about that. 

Plus some big news in the transfer portal as Buckeye basketball adds a men's player from another Big Ten team, and loses a star off the women's team. 

All of that on today's episode of the Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning podcast.

The Ohio State Buckeyes lost their entire starting defensive line following their 2024 national championship season. Now, legendary coach Larry Johnson is working hard to find replacements. 

In this episode of the Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning podcast, Tony Gerdeman of BuckeyeHuddle.com joins host Tom Orr to discuss what they learned talking to Johnson, as well as standouts like Kenyatta Jackson, Caden Curry, Eddrick Houston, and more. Plus, how are new additions like CJ Hicks and Logan George adapting to life in the Ohio State defensive line room?

The Ohio State Buckeyes just wrapped up their fourth practice of the 2025 spring football schedule. After practice, Tony Gerdeman and Tom Orr from BuckeyeHuddle.com discussed what they learned while talking to OSU head coach Ryan Day, offensive coordinator Brian Hartline, and defensive coordinator Matt Patricia, including updates on what will happen during the Buckeyes' spring showcase and when the national champions will make their traditional visit to the White House.

CJ Donaldson transferred to Ohio State from West Virginia, and has already seen some major changes that should turn him into a more explosive running back this fall. 

In this episode of the Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning podcast, you'll hear from Donaldson and Ohio State running backs coach Carlos Locklyn about Donaldso's physical transformation, and how it could change his game on the field.

On this special bonus edition of Buckeye Banter, Seth Shaner sits down with former Ohio State basketball player Jason Singleton.

The two talk about Singleton's path from that state up north to Ohio State, his first three years in the program, being part of a coaching change and ending on a high note with a trip to the Final Four in 1999.
