On Thursday, Feb. 26, Klare, who joined Ohio State in 2025 after three seasons with the Purdue Boilermakers, was asked about what his favorite moment with the Buckeyes was. It took little thought before he blurted out what many thought he would.

The Ohio State Buckeyes are set to lose countless players in the upcoming draft, but little are as impactful as linebacker Arvell Reese, who's expected to be a top pick on draft day. He recently praised the Buckeyes and it's ability to grow talent.

Following an efficient 27 points on 9-of-18 from the field that led to an 86-69 victory over the Wisconsin Badgers, Thornton has vaulted his way into third place in the all-time scoring rankings. He now trails just Herb Williams and Dennis Hopson.

The 24-year-old former Buckeye is coming off a 2025 campaign where he put up a measly 3,041 yards, 19 touchdowns and eight interceptions. That's not an awful season-long performance, but it wasn't enough to earn long-term trust from the Houston Texans.

The Ohio State Buckeyes have always had good wide receivers, but seeing both Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Chris Olave finish the 2025 season Top 10 in receiving yards is huge for the program. They help put the Buckeyes on a grander stage for recruits.

During an Ohio State men's basketball game against the No. 15 nationally ranked Virginia Cavaliers, Johnson, who was on the broadcast, commented on the Buckeyes' inability to bring in high-level recruits and players due to a lack of funding for the team.

Caleb Downs may be one of the most exciting defensive prospects to emerge from college football in recent years. NFL Draft Analyst for The Athletic, Dane Brugler, recently came out and shared a story that shows just how high he will end up going.

On Wednesday, Feb. 11, it was announced that the Buckeyes signed yet another kicker, adding former Notre Dame walk-on Marcello Diomede. This brings the team's total up to three kickers, with Connor Hawkins and Cooper Peterson as the other two on roster.
