  08/10/19 - Jonah Jackson, rSr/2020, Ohio State, 6-3, 306 (DS#13 OG) + More +

  Most people in Ohio State's program rave about Jackson's maturity and attitude. It was the first thing offensive line coach Greg Studrawa brought up. "You talk about a guy who provides leadership without saying a word," Studrawa said. "Obviously, he's a new guy; guys are just getting to know him. … But he is professional. He does his job. He goes hard every play that he's in there, then goes back in and does it again. He's starting to lead by example."

After losing four of their five starters on the offensive line, the Buckeyes needed a veteran, and Jackson provides that. The chance to play at Ohio State also offered Jackson a new experience. During Jackson's time at Rutgers, the Scarlet Knights never won more than four games in a season. The Buckeyes have enjoyed far more success. Jackson noted the championship banners that hang from the walls inside the practice field at the Woody Hayes Athletic Center. Asked if the program's pedigree swayed him, Jackson needed only a one-word response: "Yeah." - Columbus Dispatch

  08/06/19 - *Justin Fields, Jr/2021, Ohio State, 6-3, 227 (DS#4 QB) + More +

  New Ohio State coach Ryan Day is the first to note that Fields must still earn the starting job. But that's really just a formality. "Physically, he checks all the boxes - running, athleticism, size, power, throwing ability, arm strength, accuracy, intelligence," Day said. "He has all those things. Now it's just a matter in August of putting on the field and seeing what kind of product we have. "But in order to learn, you have to fail," Day continued. "Unfortunately, we don't have the luxury of failing a lot in practice and spending a few years as an understudy. Some of those failures are going to happen in a game, and there's going to be a lot of deep breaths."

In the months after spring practice, Fields put in his work. He threw with his receivers nearly every day. "Right when you come into a new place you can't just come in and just act like you're a leader," he said. "You have to kind of get used to the guys and build relationships with them so they trust you. Then you can step out and become a leader." - AP College Football

  08/05/19 - *Chase Young, Jr/2020, Ohio State, 6-5, 264 (DS#1 DE) + More +

  Young led Ohio State with 9.5 sacks and 14.5 tackles for losses last season despite lingering ankle injuries. After an offseason of rehabilitation work, Young reported that his ankles felt "real good" this month. Most of his other preparations for his junior season centered on on-field work, preparing for a variety of situations along the edge of the defensive line. "Playing the run, playing the pass, my hands, hips, just regular fundamentals of the game," Young said. If anything was the highest priority, it was his initial movement at the line of scrimmage. "I feel I can get off the ball better," Young said. "It's a lot of stuff I'm really nitpicky about."

If another productive season beckons, with a chance to tally double-digit sack totals for the season, Young hopes to move closer toward being considered among the top pass rushers to play at Ohio State, including the Bosa brothers. "Everybody wants to be the best," Young said. "You know, that's what I strive for every day." - Columbus Dispatch

  08/04/19 - *Jeffrey Okudah, Jr/2020, Ohio State, 6-1, 205 (DS#1 CB) + More +

  Ohio State played man-to-man coverage almost exclusively. A long line of corners made that scheme pay off on their way to becoming NFL first-round draft picks. But the Buckeyes' cornerbacks didn't play up to that standard last year, and that contributed to the defense's well-documented woes. Damon Arnette and Jeff Okudah have heard about it for months. "Redemption," Okudah answered when asked about the cornerbacks' mindset as training began on Friday. "Right now, I feel like our backs are against the wall."

Okudah was solid last season as a sophomore and had a stellar Rose Bowl against Washington. A five-star recruit from Texas blessed with size, speed and instincts, Okudah is regarded as a likely first-round pick next spring if he enters the NFL draft. But Okudah still doesn't have an interception in his career and hasn't made as many impact plays as he'd like. He said someone recently compared his first two seasons to those of Denzel Ward, who had a brilliant junior season before the Browns made him the fourth pick of the 2018 draft. Okudah wants to make a similar progression. "Now it's about taking that last step, and that's staying consistent every single time and just becoming a lockdown cornerback," he said. - Columbus Dispatch

  08/04/19 - *Justin Fields, Jr/2021, Ohio State, 6-3, 227 (DS#4 QB) + More +

  The fastest 40-yard dash time by a quarterback in the 2019 NFL Combine was 4.57 by Penn State's Trace McSorley. According to Ohio State quarterback Justin Fields, the time he posted in May would've beaten that convincingly if he were two years older and eligible for the draft. "The laser (time), was a 4.42 and then the hand (time) was a 4.38," Fields said. "I didn't think I was going to run it that fast. My goal was to get it under 4.45 laser. I definitely achieved that so (I'm) happy about that."

Fields came into college football as the top-ranked dual-threat quarterback in the country, so it's no surprise that his speed and athleticism will be a vital part of his game. He showed that in small doses at Georgia. But at Ohio State, those moments have been limited in practice and the spring game as he's tried to learn the offense and is not allowed to be hit. - Cleveland.com

  08/03/19 - *Chase Young, Jr/2020, Ohio State, 6-5, 264 (DS#1 DE) + More +

  Chase Young is entering his third season as an Ohio State Buckeye as a key member of the team's defensive line. From that standpoint, this fall camp is no different than the previous two. The one significant difference, he's now the line's main event. He's what Tyquan Lewis, John Simon and Joey and Nick Bosa were before him. He's the top-billed, head honcho, preseason All-American gearing up for the type of season that will eventually end with him shaking NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell's hand next April.

That's what awaits him in 2020. Right now, he won't address any of that. That will come presumably a few months from now. But it is time for him to take that next step forward as a leader, and that is something he is ready to address. He did just that from the moment he took the field for Ohio State's first practice of fall camp. "Not really talk about it, but just try to lead by example," Young said. "That's what people want to follow, how you play. That's what I started today trying to do and (I'm) just trying to do for the whole season." - Cleveland.com

  08/02/19 - K.J. Hill, rSr/2020, Ohio State, 6-0, 196 (DS#23 WR) + More +

  Three of Ohio State's top four receivers last season were seniors, leaving Hill as the top returning pass catcher and increasingly in the spotlight. Hill has displayed notable consistency throughout his college career, totaling 144 catches over the previous three seasons. He sits 47 shy of reaching David Boston atop Ohio State's career receptions list. He is currently sixth, two catches from moving within the top five. "I mean, I don't have words for it," Hill said. "It's like, 'Wow David Boston, people like that.' You just think, wow. K.J. Hill is now a name in there people are going to be talking about. And that's one of the reasons why I came back, I want to leave my legacy." As productive as Hill was in previous seasons, he was also sure-handed, an important trait to help a first-year starting quarterback. - Columbus Dispatch

  2019 PRESEASON OUTLAND TROPHY WATCH LIST: OT Thayer Munford, Ohio State,...Munford is the lone returning starter along Ohio State's 2019 offensive line and figures to be a key cog for an offense coming off two record-breaking seasons. He started 13 games in 2018 and earned honorable mention All-Big Ten honors while helping the Buckeyes set Big Ten records to total offense (535.6 yards/game) and passing touchdowns (51).
