Ohio State isn’t standing still.

In this episode of the Buckeye Film Breakdown Podcast, Jeremy and Coach Slate dive into the Buckeyes’ massive plans to modernize the Woody Hayes Athletic Center with a $125 million renovation and what those upgrades say about the future of the program. We also discuss the next phase of improvements coming to Ohio Stadium, why these investments matter in the NIL and revenue-sharing era, and how facilities remain one of the biggest recruiting tools in college football.

On the recruiting trail, the Buckeyes added another familiar name as Jett Harrison, the nation’s No. 1 receiver in the 2028 class, committed to Ohio State, while five-star cornerback Moshanna Torbert chose Michigan over the Buckeyes.

The 2025 Ohio State offensive line was one of the most improved units in college football for much of the season. The Buckeyes established a physical identity, protected the quarterback at a high level, and played a major role in Ohio State’s success throughout the year.

But as the season entered its most important stretch, the production up front began to slip.

Whether it was injuries, depth concerns, communication breakdowns, or simply the cumulative effects of a long season, the Buckeyes weren’t playing their best football in the trenches when the margin for error became the smallest.

In this episode, Coach Slate breaks down five things the Ohio State offensive line must do to ensure the late-season slump of 2025 doesn’t happen again in 2026. From developing quality depth and improving communication to mastering technique and building consistency, we’ll examine what it will take for this group to become a championship-caliber unit from the first snap of the season to the final snap that matters.

Let’s get into it.

The transfer portal and modern recruiting have completely reshaped college football. Championship contenders are no longer built solely through four-year development. They’re assembled through impact additions, immediate contributors, and difference-makers capable of changing a season overnight.

ESPN recently released its Top 100 Newcomers for the 2026 season, and Ohio State is well represented with safety Earl Little Jr. (#28), defensive tackle James Smith (#47), wide receiver Chris Henry Jr. (#51), running back Legend Bey (#61), and edge rusher Qua Russaw (#65). Together, they represent the next wave of talent expected to help the Buckeyes defend their national championship.

But Ohio State isn’t the only program that reloaded. The Buckeyes’ schedule is loaded with impact newcomers, including Indiana quarterback Josh Hoover (#1), Texas wide receiver Cam Coleman (#2), Penn State quarterback Rocco Becht (#6), Oregon safety Koi Perich (#10), and Michigan running back Savion Hiter (#24). In total, Ohio State is scheduled to face 28 players from ESPN’s Top 100 rankings this season.

On this episode, we’re taking a national look at college football’s most impactful newcomers, identifying which players could change conference races, playoff positioning, and championship hopes, while examining how Ohio State’s own additions stack up against the best incoming talent in the country.
