The first scrimmage of fall camp is in the books, and the buzz around Ohio State’s running back room is real. With TreVeyon Henderson and Quinshon Judkins off to the NFL, it’s time for a new wave of Buckeye backs to step up.

🏈 Key storylines in this episode:

• Why James Peoples says he’s a “totally different” back in 2025 — faster, stronger, and now a leader.

• Transfer CJ Donaldson turning heads in camp — and why coaches say he looks like Carlos Hyde 2.0.

• Freshman Bo Jackson bouncing back from early illness to shine in the first scrimmage.

• Carlos Locklyn’s message to the RB room: “Last year was last year. You better come to work every day.”

• Why this year’s group may not be a simple two-man rotation like 2024.

The Buckeyes have six scholarship backs fighting for snaps — and after Saturday’s scrimmage, this room looks deeper and more dangerous than expected.
