The Ohio State Buckeyes have disappointed in recent years but FOX’s Joel Klatt believes there’s something special building in Columbus for next season.
Taking to his self-titled podcast, the college football analyst laid out why he thinks Ryan Day’s Bucks are primed to make some big noise in 2024.
I did not see this coming … They’re basically all coming back. … Think about the guys who have said no to the NFL draft and they’re all coming back. This is eerily similar by the way to Michigan a year ago at this point. … They went into the portal and got Will Howard… he was the Kansas State quarterback that won a Big 12 Championship over TCU. They get the best running back in the SEC: Quinshon Judkins. Now he’s going to split carries with TreVeyon Henderson? That’s immediately the best backfield in America. … I tell ya man, Ohio State is primed to make a run.

Ohio State returns some huge pieces on offense and essentially all of its draft-eligible defensive players that helped form one of the best defenses in the country last year.
Quarterback remains a little bit of a question for the Buckeyes. But Will Howard is a more than capable QB who should at least provide some competition at the position this spring.
It’s hard to imagine OSU being in a much better position for next season. Maybe this is the year they finally beat TTUN and win their first national championship in a decade.
