Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning

The team from BuckeyeHuddle.com will be back inside the Woody Hayes Athletic Center on Saturday to watch practice No. 8 of the Ohio State spring football schedule. 

So what will Tony Gerdeman and Tom Orr be looking for when they watch practice? 

In this episode of the Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning podcast, they'll discuss some of the most interesting positional battles, transfer additions, and intriguing freshmen to keep an eye on this spring.

As the Ohio State Buckeyes football team nears the halfway point of its 2026 spring practice schedule, the focus turns to the tight ends.

In 2025, Keenan Bailey's unit might have been the deepest tight end room in program history. Now, with new offensive coordinator Arthur Smith involved, but a deeper wide receiver room, how involved will players like Nate Roberts, Hunter Welcing, Mason Williams, and Bennett Christian be in the offense this fall?

Tony Gerdeman of BuckeyeHuddle.com joins host Tom Orr to discuss that and much more on this episode of the Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning podcast.

Ross Fulton, the Xs and Os guru at BuckeyeHuddle.com has his eye on a handful of key storylines as Ohio State's spring football schedule nears its halfway point.

One day after losing forward Devin Royal to the transfer portal, the Ohio State men's basketball team got some very good news on Monday, as forward Amare Bynum announced that he would return to Columbus for his sophomore season. 

Tony Gerdeman of BuckeyeHuddle.com joins host Tom Orr to discuss why this was the most important player for Jake Diebler's team to get back, and what else is left on the program's off-season to-do list.

The Ohio State men's basketball team just lost multi-year starting forward Devin Royal to the Transfer Portal. The Pickerington, Ohio native typically would have been expected to play his entire career with his hometown team, but this move didn't come as a big surprise - either from Royal's side, or from the Buckeyes'. 

Tony Gerdeman of BuckeyeHuddle.com joins host Tom Orr to discuss the impact of Royal's departure and what it means for Jake Diebler's program in the upcoming season.

The Ohio State Buckeyes' offense was one of the more efficient attacks in college football in 2025, but lacked explosiveness, especially in the passing game. So how can they go from near the bottom of the nation in yards after catch to the top? 

In this episode of the Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning podcast, Tony Gerdeman of BuckeyeHuddle.com joins host Tom Orr to discuss what they learned while talking to OSU superstar WR Jeremiah Smith and Ohio State's new WR coach Cortez Hankton.

The 2025 Ohio State defense was one of the best in program history under first-year defensive coordinator Matt Patricia. However, the Buckeyes didn't produce as many turnovers as they have in the past. So, is there a way to take more chances to generate fumbles and interceptions, without compromising in other areas?

In this episode of the Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning podcast, you'll hear the answer to that and much more directly from Ohio State head coach Ryan Day.

Ohio State's offense was dominant for long stretches of the 2025 season, but fell flat at the end of the year in back-to-back losses to Indiana and Miami. 

Now, as the Buckeyes look for ways to generate more big plays and points in 2026, the coaching staff may be looking to quarterback Julian Sayin to offer an increased threat to run the ball, to give the team a numerical advantage. 

Is that something Sayin is willing to do? And if so, is it something he can work on this spring while wearing a no-contact jersey?
