Daily Buckeye Blitz: Ohio State Defensive Tackle Breakdown 2026: Replacing Kayden McDonald, Snap Count Projections ⭐️ Get Your Buckeye Gear ON SALE NOW!!! Ohio State football must replace unanimous All-American defensive tackle Kayden McDonald in 2026 — and that’s no small task. In this episode of our Buckeyes Roster Reset series, we break down the entire Ohio State defensive tackle room heading into the 2026 season, including: How the Buckeyes replace Kayden McDonald’s production (65 tackles, 9 TFL, 3 sacks) The impact of losing Tywone Malone and multiple portal departures Why Ohio State hit the transfer portal hard for John Walker (UCF) and James Smith (Alabama) Whether Eddrick Houston is ready for a breakout Year 3 The role of Will Smith Jr. in the nose tackle rotation Freshman upside from Damari Simeon and Emanuel Ruffin Projected 2026 snap counts for every defensive tackle How Ohio State’s DT rotation could look under Matt Patricia Can the Buckeyes recreate McDonald’s impact “in the aggregate”? Ohio State has replaced NFL defensive tackles before — Tyleik Williams, Ty Hamilton — and actually upgraded. But replacing a unanimous All-American nose tackle is a different challenge entirely. Will John Walker take over at nose? Can James Smith become the next disruptive SEC transfer star? Is this Eddrick Houston’s breakout season? We analyze the depth chart, rotation strategy, and what it means for Ohio State’s championship hopes in 2026.

Daily Buckeye Blitz: Ohio State Tight Ends Breakdown 2026 | Snap Counts & Targets Predictions ⭐️ Get Your Buckeye Gear ON SALE NOW!!! Ohio State’s tight end room is undergoing a major reset in 2026 — and Arthur Smith’s arrival as offensive coordinator makes this position more important than ever. In this episode, we break down projected snap counts, targets, and roles for Ohio State’s tight ends, including Nate Roberts, Hunter Welcing, Mason Williams, and Bennett Christian. We explain how Smith’s pro-style offense will use multiple-tight-end personnel, why tight end production may rise without eye-popping stats, and how this impacts wide receiver rotations and overall offensive structure. Topics covered: Projected snap counts and target share for each Ohio State tight end How Arthur Smith historically uses tight ends in NFL-style offenses Why Nate Roberts has breakout potential How Welcing and Williams fit as reliable, high-snap contributors Why tight ends will matter more in structure than box scores If you want to understand how Ohio State’s offense will evolve in 2026 — especially in the run game, play-action, and red zone — this tight end breakdown is essential viewing. 🔴 Subscribe for daily Ohio State football analysis 🎧 Also available on Spotify & Apple Podcasts Wednesday, February 11, 2026 📺 LIKE 👍 and to the YouTube channel ⭐️ Get Your Buckeye Gear ON SALE NOW!!!

Daily Buckeye Blitz: How Mark Pantoni Reinvented Ohio State Football in the NIL & Transfer Portal Era 02/10/2026

Daily Buckeye Blitz: How Mark Pantoni Reinvented Ohio State Football in the NIL & Transfer Portal Era ⭐️ Get Your Buckeye Gear ON SALE NOW!!! College football changed fast — and Ohio State GM Mark Pantoni changed with it. In this episode, we break down how Pantoni evolved from elite recruiter and relationship builder into the most influential college football general manager in the sport. With NIL, the transfer portal, agents, salary caps remember — this is no longer traditional recruiting. We dive into: How Mark Pantoni’s role has completely transformed in the NIL era Why Ohio State adopted the “Indiana model” in the transfer portal How Pantoni balances high school recruiting vs portal “win-now” players Why Ohio State prioritized older, experienced portal players for 2026 The reality of negotiating with agents and managing a salary cap How culture still drives Ohio State’s roster construction Why Pantoni intentionally distanced himself from players — and why it matters ESPN’s evaluation of Ohio State’s top-five 2026 transfer class Pantoni is widely viewed as the architect of the modern College Football GM role, and this episode explains why Ohio State continues to adapt faster — and smarter — than most programs in the country. If you want to understand how elite programs are really built in the NIL era, this is a must-listen. 🔔 Subscribe for weekly Ohio State football breakdowns 🎙️ New episodes all week 👍 Like, rate, and review to support the show Tuesday, February 10, 2026 📺 LIKE 👍 and to the YouTube channel ⭐️ Get Your Buckeye Gear ON SALE NOW!!!

Daily Buckeye Blitz: Ohio State Offensive Line Position Breakdown 2026: Why Ryan Day Passed on the Transfer Portal ⭐️ Get Your Buckeye Gear ON SALE NOW!!! Ohio State’s offensive line is the most debated unit of the 2026 Buckeyes roster, and Ryan Day made a bold decision: no high-priced transfer portal starters. In this episode of The Daily Buckeye Blitz, we break down the full Ohio State offensive line roster reset, including snap-count context, returning starters, depth chart battles, and why the Buckeyes chose development and continuity over portal spending after last season’s results. We cover: Why Ohio State passed on elite transfer portal offensive linemen Ryan Day’s comments on experience, continuity, and OL development What went wrong late in 2025 and why the staff believes it’s fixable The right guard battle and why it’s the biggest concern Projected 2026 offensive line depth chart and flexibility How this decision impacts Arthur Smith’s offense and the run game Ohio State returns four veteran starters, including Carson Hinzman and Luke Montgomery, and is betting that another offseason together will fix the breakdowns that showed up in the Big Ten Championship and College Football Playoff.

Daily Buckeye Blitz: Ohio State WR Breakdown Under Arthur Smith | Snap Counts, Stats & Who Loses Playing Time 02/06/2026

Daily Buckeye Blitz: Ohio State WR Breakdown Under Arthur Smith | Snap Counts, Stats & Who Loses Playing Time ⭐️ Get Your Buckeye Gear ON SALE NOW!!! What will Ohio State’s wide receiver production really look like under new offensive coordinator Arthur Smith? In this episode, we break down how the Buckeyes’ WR room changes in 2026 — from projected stats and snap counts to who benefits most from Jeremiah Smith’s gravity and which receivers lose snaps in a system that won’t rotate like the Brian Hartline era. 🔍 Topics covered: Projected Ohio State WR stats under Arthur Smith Estimated snap counts for Jeremiah Smith, Brandon Inniss, and the WR2 role How Arthur Smith’s offense changes WR usage Why this WR room may peak late, not early Who loses playing time with fewer 11-personnel snaps How tight ends and running backs benefit from WR gravity Arthur Smith’s offense isn’t about spreading the ball to everyone — it’s about efficiency, leverage, and timing. That changes how Ohio State uses its elite receiver talent and reshapes expectations for transfers, freshmen, and rotational players. If you’re expecting 2019-style volume, this episode explains why that’s not coming — and why the Buckeyes may be more dangerous in November than September. 👉 Subscribe for daily Ohio State football breakdowns 👉 Like & comment: Who do YOU think becomes Ohio State’s WR2 by midseason?

Daily Buckeye Blitz: Ohio State RB Room Reset: Can Bo Jackson Lead a More Explosive 2026 Offense? ⭐️ Get Your Buckeye Gear ON SALE NOW!!! Ohio State’s running back room is at a crossroads heading into the 2026 season. After losing two second-round NFL picks, the Buckeyes leaned on freshmen Bo Jackson and Isaiah West in 2025 — and while the production was solid, the explosiveness was missing. Now both Jackson and West are sidelined for spring practice after shoulder surgeries, forcing Ohio State to evaluate depth, development, and future roles in a pivotal offseason. In this episode of The Daily Buckeye Blitz, we break down: Bo Jackson’s emergence as a potential three-down back Isaiah West’s next step after flashing as a freshman What Ohio State loses with CJ Donaldson and James Peoples departing Why Florida transfer Ja’Kobi Jackson matters more than people think How Legend Bey fits as a “lightning in a bottle” athlete Why explosiveness — not workload — is the biggest issue How Arthur Smith’s run-game background could unlock this room Ohio State doesn’t need a total rebuild at running back — but it does need more big plays if the offense is going to take a step forward in 2026. 👉 Subscribe for daily Ohio State football breakdowns, roster resets, and offseason analysis.

Daily Buckeye Blitz: How Ohio State’s Offense Will Actually Look in 2026 | Scheme, Stats & Strategy ⭐️ Get Your Buckeye Gear ON SALE NOW!!! Ohio State’s offense is about to change — but not in the way most fans think. With Arthur Smith taking over as offensive coordinator, the Buckeyes aren’t chasing video-game stats or early-season fireworks. They’re building an offense designed to win in January, not just September. In this episode, we break down: How Ohio State’s offensive structure will change in 2026 What Arthur Smith brings schematically from the NFL Why personnel groupings, motion, and sequencing matter more than play calls Projected offensive stats (yards, rushing volume, balance, efficiency) How this offense makes life harder for elite playoff defenses Why this is about control, flexibility, and reliability, not flash This isn’t a player-by-player hype show. This is about how the offense works, why Ryan Day wanted this profile, and why Ohio State’s ceiling might actually be higher with fewer empty possessions. If you’re expecting the same spread offense with a new name on the headset — this episode is for you. 🔴 Subscribe for daily Ohio State football coverage 🎧 Available on YouTube, Rumble & Spotify Wednesday, January 28, 2026 📺 LIKE 👍 and to the YouTube channel ⭐️ Get Your Buckeye Gear ON SALE NOW!!!

Daily Buckeye Blitz: Message Board OC Madness: Separating Fantasy Hires From Reality at Ohio State ⭐️ Get Your Buckeye Gear ON SALE NOW!!! Ohio State still doesn’t have an offensive coordinator — and Buckeye fans are spiraling. In this episode of The Daily Buckeye Blitz, we break down what Ryan Day actually wants in his next offensive coordinator and why most of the names floating around message boards and social media don’t add up. We start with Day’s proven hiring criteria: experienced play-caller, NFL background, adaptability, and the ability to run the offense while Day steps into a true CEO role. Then we run through the full rumor list — from fan favorites to pie-in-the-sky NFL names — and whittle it down to the small group of candidates that actually fit. We also explain why this search feels slow, quiet, and frustrating — and why that’s completely normal under Ryan Day. His biggest coordinator hires historically come late January into February, often after the Super Bowl, once the NFL coaching dominoes fall. Topics include: Ryan Day’s OC hiring philosophy Why internal promotions are risky NFL vs college coordinator fits J.T. Barrett vs Keenan Bailey vs outside hires Todd Monken, Brian Daboll, Kliff Kingsbury buzz Why silence doesn’t mean panic When Ohio State fans should actually expect news If you’re tired of fantasy hires and want a reality check on Ohio State’s offensive coordinator search, this is the episode for you. 🔴 Subscribe for daily Ohio State football coverage 🎧 Available on YouTube & Spotify Friday, December 23, 2026 📺 LIKE 👍 and to the YouTube channel ⭐️ Get Your Buckeye Gear ON SALE NOW!!!

Ohio State’s offensive coordinator search isn’t about panic or reaction — it’s about clarity.
