We have enjoyed discussing Ohio State football over the years and putting our unique spin on breaking down games, celebrating great performances, analyzing the schedule, predicting the Big Ten finishes and Ohio State’s game each week, and all the other things we’ve done. However, all good things… We start our final episode with a review of the 2026 Ohio State spring game, in which Chris Henry Jr. showed he’s a man among boys.

We discussed the format, the big plays, the scoring, some of the key guys who were missing, and who stood out in the team’s annual glorified scrimmage. It’s always interesting to see where the young guys are in their development, and we think Henry will get on the field early, especially when the Buckeyes get into the red zone. He’s just too imposing a target with his height, jumping ability, and catch radius for Arthur Smith and Ryan Day not to use in those situations.

It was a rainy day, which may have contributed to some of the sloppiness, but it was nice to see a kicker make two of his three field goals of 40+ yards in those conditions, even though it wasn’t a real game. After our spring game discussion, we turned our attention toward the 2026 NFL Draft. We go through every Buckeye’s landing spot in the draft, discuss how those teams fit the guys who drafted them, and talk about some of the records Ohio State set or tied along the way in having 11 guys taken — four in the first round and seven in the first two rounds — just one year after seeing 14 Buckeyes picked by NFL clubs.
