On3 lists four Ohio State football players in top 100 for 2026 season
On3 has published its top 100 college football players entering 2026, and four Buckeyes made the list, all appearing in the top 50.
It's the college football offseason, but things will be ramping up soon for all the hubbub of gearing up for the start of the season in the fall. In the meantime, it's the season of lists and rankings before all that happens, and On3 just released its top 100 college football players of 2026 (subscription required). Almost any best-of list when it comes to the game of college football is going to have representation from guys wearing scarlet and gray, and it's no different here.
On3 has four Ohio State players included in its top 100, which is pretty good considering all the talent the Buckeyes lost to the NFL draft and what has to be replaced. Here are the four players On3 has identified among the top 100 college football players for the 2026 season. No.
46 (out of 100) - Bo Jackson , Ohio State Running Back Jackson was one of the best freshmen in the country last year and took hold of the starting running back position at Ohio State just a few games into the season. He finished last season with 179 carries for 1,090 (6. 1 avg.
) yards and six touchdowns. There's little doubt that he's running back No. 1 coming into the season and should be able to take a further step forward in 2026.
