WATCH: Former Ohio State running back TreVeyon Henderson shares why he wears No. 32
WATCH: Former Ohio State running back TreVeyon Henderson shares why he wears No. 32 Buckeye Nation will always have fond memories of former running back TreVeyon Henderson. He came to Ohio State as the No. 1 running back in the country according to some recruiting services and quickly flashed on the scene, running for over 1,000 yards during his freshman campaing. He was besieged by nagging injuries the next two seasons but battled his way through it to still be a very productive back, and then finished things off last year by going over 1,000 yards again, all while splitting time with Ole Miss transfer running back Quinshon Judkins. It all culminated in taking home the first expanded 12-team College Football Playoff national championship. If you watched Ohio State the last four seasons, we don't have to tell you what number Henderson wore when toting the rock in the Scarlet and Gray. His No. 32 was very recognizable except for the times when he was a blur breaking off explosive plays out of the backfield. But did you know the reason he donned the No. 32, ever since he was basically in Pee-Wee football? Watch as Henderson explains why he wore his number of choice and continues to wear it with his new team, the New England Patriots. It has everything to do with his grandfather and honoring him. Henderson grew tremendously at Ohio State both on and off the field. He went from becoming an electric and fast runner to perhaps the best blocking back in the NFL draft. He also developed into a great option in the passing game out of the backfield. More than that, he became a leader because of his faith and growth as a person.

Ohio State basketball head coach Jake Diebler provides offseason update
Ohio State basketball head coach Jake Diebler provides offseason update This past season was not what anyone in and around the Ohio State basketball program dreamed of. The team missed the NCAA Tournament for the third-straight year and finished the season on a very sour note. Head coach Jake Diebler would be the first to tell you that what we saw from the team and program last season is not what should be happening on the banks of the Olentangy, and he took some time to address all of that and to provide an update to the program via the Ohio State Hoops "X" account this week. It might be a little unconventional to provide a quick, little over three-minute update on social media rather than a press conference, but It's kind of nice that Diebler is out there addressing some things directly with Buckeye Nation. We thought we'd bring you his entire update so you can get up to speed if you haven't seen it already. In the video, Diebler addresses the disappointment of last year, how the program was able to retain some key players, what happened with the transfer portal, some things that are being done inside the Schott to make the environment better, and more. Get a look, and listen for yourself. It sounds like Diebler might be looking to do more of these updates in the future and if and when he does, we'll be sure to bring it to you as well. Here's to hoping the optimism he is showing in this video translates to what we see on the court next season.

Ohio State gets crystal ball prediction to land four-star lineman out of North Carolina
Ohio State gets crystal ball prediction to land four-star lineman out of North Carolina Ohio State is just a week removed from its annual Spring Game that gave fans a glimpse of what the future holds in Columbus. While Buckeye Nation watched with anticipation, a slew of recruits got a chance to see firsthand what their future could be in Scarlet and Gray. One of those in attendance was PJ Dean, a four-star prospect who could play on either the offensive or defensive line. Steve Wiltfong of On3 gave a prediction for Dean to land with Georgia just a few weeks ago, but after another visit to OSU, that prediction has now been flipped in favor of Ohio State. Dean is in a unique situation as most guys at this level have a set position. Dean is a Top 10 offensive line prospect, and a Top 100 overall player according to 247sports. However, it seems as if the Buckeyes are recruiting the North Carolina native to play for Larry Johnson on the defensive line. At this point, it may not matter as long as they can get the kid to commit. It sounds like he's the kind of athlete who can play at a high level wherever he's needed the most. Dean is down to a final three of Ohio State, Georgia, and South Carolina. It would be another outstanding addition to a class that is already ranked No. 3 in the country.
