BOOM! Ohio State football lands 4-star quarterback for 2026 recruiting class
Finally, mercifully, the Ohio State football program has found its long-sought-after quarterback for the 2026 recruiting cycle. The Buckeyes' struggles in gaining a commitment in the cycle could be because they are so solid in the room for the next few years with five-star prospect Julian Sayin, returning combatant Lincoln Kienholz, and another five-star freshman Tavien St.-Clair all in the fold. Still, as we have seen in the past, especially in the age of Name, Image and Likeness, loose transfer rules, and now direct revenue payments, you can never have too many quarterbacks. The news may not be the splash of quarterback commitments in the past, but Ohio State has been very good at identifying and developing talent at the position, so there must be something there to work with. Advertisement Out of Mission Viejo, California, Fahey is ranked as the No. 25 quarterback and 357th overall recruit in the class according to the 247Sports Composite rankings. He's only 6-foot, 180 pounds, so he'll likely need to get into the weight room and be an option a couple of seasons down the road. Fahey was a late effort by the Buckeyes after all of their other higher-profile targets committed elsewhere, with Fahey choosing Ohio State over Stanford and Indiana. He makes the 20th commitment in the OSU recruiting class.

Ohio State football lands first pledge in 2028 class with running back Elijah Newman-Hall
Elijah Newman-Hall, a running back from Tampa, Florida, made a verbal commitment to Ohio State on June 13. Newman-Hall is the first piece in the Buckeyes' recruiting class for 2028, a group that includes rising high school sophomores. He announced his pledge days after visiting Ohio State for a camp. Dec 29, 2023; Arlington, Texas, USA; The helmet of Ohio State Buckeyes quarterback Devin Brown (33) sits on the sideline prior to the Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic against the Missouri Tigers at AT&T Stadium. Debuting as a freshman on the varsity team at Blake High School last fall, he ran for 829 yards and eight touchdowns, according to statistics on MaxPreps. Advertisement He does not have a star rating as the major recruiting services have not released their rankings for the class of 2028. Fifteen of the 18 high school players who are committed to Ohio State are rising seniors as part of the class of 2026 and eligible to sign scholarship agreements as soon as December. The two commitments in the 2027 class are Jamier Brown, a five-star wide receiver from Dayton, and Brady Edmonds, a four-star quarterback from Southern California.

ESPN shared plans to celebrate Lee Corso in final College GameDay show
ESPN shared plans to celebrate Lee Corso in final College GameDay show For 38 seasons of College GameDay, Lee Corso has been the marquee figure of ESPN's traveling pregame show. And with Corso's broadcasting career coming to an end, ESPN revealed its plans to celebrate the 89-year-old's legendary run. There will be one last headgear pick for Corso, and it fittingly will be taking place on the campus of Ohio State. While the Buckeyes' season-opening matchup with Texas was already worthy of a GameDay trip, the reasoning for that pick made perfect sense as Corso's final show. Back in 1996, Corso started the headgear tradition when he donned the mascot head for Brutus ahead of Ohio State's win against Penn State. After that, the headgear pick became a staple of the broadcast. Going back where the tradition started is a fitting way to bring Corso's journey full circle. He'll be 90 years old when the Aug. 30 matchup kicks off — what a run it was.
