Despite prepping for a playoff run, Ohio State made major roster moves in the first transfer window — and more are coming. The Buckeyes already added key transfers like RB CJ Donaldson and OT Ethan Onianwa, but with major losses on both sides of the ball, gaps remain.

🔴 Biggest Needs:

Defensive End: With J.T. Tuimoloau and Jack Sawyer gone, edge rusher is priority #1.

Safety/Nickel: Talented young DBs are battling, but experience is scarce behind Caleb Downs.

Veteran QB: With no scholarship QB having started a college game, OSU could target a steady veteran to back up Julian Sayin.

As Ryan Day evaluates spring performances, expect more portal moves aimed at depth, leadership, and experience — especially in high-impact positions. The reload isn't over yet. 🧱

With standout safeties Lathan Ransom and Jordan Hancock gone, Ohio State is reloading its secondary — and it starts with fluidity and flexibility. Spring practices have featured a rotating cast of safeties, including Caleb Downs, Malik Hartford, and Lorenzo Styles Jr., as the Buckeyes search for the right mix in their three-safety defense.

New DC Matt Patricia and Ryan Day are testing player roles, adjusting alignments, and prioritizing matchup-based versatility — all to maintain the high standard set by last season's elite unit. Downs' role will evolve, and the key to unlocking the defense may lie in finding the perfect fit at nickel.

The path to solidifying this defense won't be short — but the blueprint is in motion.

The Buckeyes' quarterback competition is just getting started — and the race is wide open. Julian Sayin, Lincoln Kienholz, and Tavien St. Clair are all battling for the starting job, but this spring isn't just about stats — it's about leadership, mental toughness, and who can handle the pressure of being QB1 at Ohio State.

In this breakdown:

🧠 Julian Sayin shines in the spring game, shows growth and resilience

🗣️ Lincoln Kienholz steps into a leadership role as the most experienced QB

🚀 Tavien St. Clair flashes a high ceiling despite freshman growing pains

💪 Why mental discipline and "toughness without contact" are key in this race

🎙️ Coach Billy Fessler & Ryan Day share insights on what they're really looking for

The starter won't be named anytime soon — but the groundwork is being laid now. This QB battle is just getting warmed up. 🔥
