Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning

The 2024 Ohio State defense brings back the majority of starters from what was already one of the best units in the entire country. 

But even with the return of players like JT Tuimoloau, Jack Sawyer, Tyleik Williams, Denzel Burke, Davison Igbinosun, Jordan Hancock, and Lathan Ransom, there are still plenty of opportunities for Buckeyes who haven't played much so far in their careers to take on a much bigger role this fall.

In this episode of the Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning podcast, you'll hear directly from OSU defensive coordinator Jim Knowles about some of those players, including DT Tywone Malone, DE Mitchell Melton, SAF Jayden Bonsu and Jaylen McClain, CB Calvin Simpson-Hunt, and LB CJ Hicks.

Chip Kelly just wrapped up his first spring practice schedule as Ohio State's offensive coordinator. After the spring game, Kelly shared his thoughts on the offense on the whole, the battle for the starting quarterback position, the impressive play of Jeremiah Smith, the play of freshman quarterbacks Julian Sayin and Air Noland, and the important role that Emeka Egbuka could play for the Buckeyes this fall. 

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

College football's post-spring Transfer Portal window opened on Tuesday, and two Buckeyes have already entered it, hoping to find a new home. 

Tony Gerdeman of BuckeyeHuddle.com joins host Tom Orr to discuss the official departures of safety Cedric Hawkins and running back Dallan Hayden on this episode of the Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning podcast.

For the second time in as many weeks, Jake Diebler and the Ohio State men's basketball program has replaced a departing transfer with a high-level transfer addition from the SEC. 

This time, it's Aaron Bradshaw, one of the top five recruits in the 2023 class, who spent one season with the Kentucky Wildcats before entering the portal. So what does the 7-foot-1 Bradshaw bring to Columbus?

Kevin Noon of BuckeyeHuddle.com joins host Tom Orr to discuss Bradshaw's game, what else the Buckeyes still have to do in the portal this offseason, and where former OSU standout Zed Key is transferring.

With a group of talented upperclassmen returning and some elite additions through the transfer portal, there aren't many positions where the Buckeyes have a ton of uncertainty. Entering the spring, there were big questions at a couple of spots along the offensive line, and following the spring game, it sounded like those might not be totally resolved in Ryan Day's mind. 

In this episode of the Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning podcast, you'll hear directly from Day on that and many more topics, including the race for the starting quarterback job, whether depth is a concern in the wide receiver room, and more.

The 2024 Ohio State spring football schedule is now in the books, and there was a lot to learn from the Buckeyes' annual spring game.

Kevin Noon of BuckeyeHuddle.com joins host Tom Orr to discuss some of their biggest takeaways from the game, including:

• Whether they gained any clarity in the race for the starting quarterback job between Devin Brown, Will Howard, Lincoln Kienholz, Julian Sayin, and Air Noland. 
• Which young running backs jumped out as potential contributors?
• How was the secondary able to contain the explosive Buckeye wideouts?
• Which young players stood out?
• And much more.

With the 2024 Ohio State Spring Game just one day away, the crew from BuckeyeHuddle.com got a chance to watch the Buckeyes' full practice inside Ohio Stadium.

It was a great opportunity to get an updated look at the race for the starting quarterback job, the offensive line positions, and more.

Tony Gerdeman, Tom Orr, and Kevin Noon discuss what they learned inside the Horseshoe and answer your questions.

Carlos Locklyn's path to the Ohio State running backs coaching position was anything but ordinary. 

Following a long career in law enforcement, Locklyn only got into coaching a handful of years ago, quickly rocketing up the ranks from Western Kentucky to Memphis to Oregon and now the Buckeyes. 

So what made him want to leave his old profession and get into coaching? What is life like for him now in Columbus? And what is he planning to bring to the OSU running back room?

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

The Ohio State Buckeyes are in the home stretch of their 2024 spring football schedule. With the spring game coming up on Saturday, what has the coaching staff learned this spring, and what questions still need to be answered?

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 from head coach Ryan Day and new running backs coach Carlos Locklyn.

The 2023 Ohio State defense was one of the best in the nation, and then the Buckeyes found out they were getting back stars like JT Tuimoloau, Jack Sawyer, and Denzel Burke for 2024. 

So how much can the addition of a player like freshman all-American safety Caleb Downs through the Transfer Portal bring to this year's team?

In this episode of the Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning podcast, you'll hear from Ohio State safeties coach Matt Guerrieri on that, some young players who are standing out this spring, and much more.
