Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning

The 2024 Ohio State football team brings back an elite group of seniors who passed up a chance at the NFL Draft to take one more run at beating Michigan, winning the Big Ten, and a national championship. 

They also added stars like Will Howard and Caleb Downs in the Transfer Portal. But is that enough to make this year's Ohio State football team the most talented in program history?

Tony Gerdeman of BuckeyeHuddle.com joins host Tom Orr to discuss that, and also take a look at why some of the other contenders for that title fell short of the national championship.

The Ohio State football team is just over a week away from kicking off its 2024 season against Akron.

In this special live episode of the Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning podcast, Tony Gerdeman of BuckeyeHuddle.com joins host Tom Orr to discuss what they learned talking to OSU safeties and tight ends tonight at the Woody Hayes Athletic Center. 

• How will Caleb Downs impact what the Buckeyes do in the secondary?
• Is he really going to play running back this season, too?
• Will Lathan Ransom's return mean Ohio State has the nation's best safeties?
• Is second-year TE Jelani Thurman ready to make an impact this fall?
• And much more.

The Ohio State offensive line room has been dealing with what's been dubbed "a funky virus" throughout fall camp, which has left the room shorthanded at times, and left the battle for the starting right guard spot up in the air. 

However, it has also opened the door for some of the younger Buckeye linemen to show that they're ready to contribute this season as well. 

In this episode of the Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning podcast, you'll hear OSU offensive coordinator Chip Kelly discuss that, the factors that led to Will Howard earning the starting quarterback job, and much more.

The Ohio State Buckeyes have been remarkably successful on the recruiting trail in the 2025 class but unquestionably suffered a major setback over the weekend when 5-star offensive tackle David Sanders committed to Tennessee.

So where will Ryan Day's program turn now to round out their offensive line class? 

In this super-sized bonus episode, Marc Givler of BuckeyeHuddle.com discusses that and much more. If you enjoy this, make sure to subscribe to the Skull Session recruiting podcast wherever you listen to Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning.

The Ohio State football team is now more than halfway through its 25 practices this month, and some of the Buckeyes' remaining positional battles are starting to get settled. 

Thursday afternoon, Ryan Day announced that Will Howard would be Ohio State's starting quarterback this fall, although the battle for the backup spot was still up in the air. 

But where do things stand in the race for the starting right guard position, the third offensive tackle, backup wide receivers, and more?

In this episode of the Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning podcast, you'll hear directly from Day on those questions and much more.

Jeremiah Smith has been grabbing all of the headlines (and most of the passes) so far in fall camp, but Ohio State has two other promising freshmen in the wide receiver room as well. 

So where do things stand now with Mylan Graham and Damarion Witten as the Buckeyes near the halfway point of fall camp?

You'll hear the answers to that and much more on today's episode of the Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning podcast, including interviews with Ohio State wide receivers coach Brian Hartline, sophomore WR Carnell Tate, senior CB Jordan Hancock, and sophomore CB Jermaine Mathews.

The College Football Playoff expands from four teams to 12 in 2024, bringing in the excitement of first-round games on campuses across the nation, what should be four exciting quarterfinal matchups on New Year's Eve and New Year's Day, and then three more games deeper into January. 

Tony Gerdeman of BuckeyeHuddle.com joins host Tom Orr to discuss what the expanded field could look like, using the newly-released AP Top-25 Poll to seed the teams. 

Who could Ohio State face in the Rose Bowl this season, will they then have to play against Texas in Texas and Georgia in Georgia to win it all? 

Plus, which of the four heavily-favored teams is most likely to crash out of the field earlier than expected?

The Ohio State cornerback room has long called itself "BIA" an acronym short for "Best In America." And while the Buckeye corners have certainly put together a strong resume of seasons, they haven't necessarily been the clear-cut best unit in the nation.

That could all change this year, when Denzel Burke, Davison Igbinonsun, Jordan Hancock, Jermaine Mathews, and the rest of the corners take the field. 

In this episode of the Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning podcast, you'll hear directly from Ohio State cornerbacks coach Tim Walton and senior CB Denzel Burke about what sets this year's unit apart, how they're being tested during practice, and much more.

There have not been too many true freshmen who have captured the imagination of the Ohio State fanbase before playing in a game quite like Jeremiah Smith. 

In this episode of the Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning podcast, you'll learn much more about Ohio State's freshman phenom wide receiver by hearing directly from him. 

He answered questions about his work ethic, why he's so effective in bringing down 50/50 balls, dealing with sky-high expectations, what he's improved on during fall camp, and much more.

The Ohio State Buckeyes could be close to naming their starting quarterback for 2024. That was one of the things that Ryan Day was asked about on Thursday following the Buckeyes' seventh practice of the fall. 

In this episode of the Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning podcast, you'll hear Day discuss that, some of the things that he likes about the perceived frontrunner, Will Howard, and more.
