OSU Football_-MAJOR National Buckeye INTEL with Special Guest

In this episode of The Buckeye Scoop, host Devin welcomes back special guest Dalton Wasserman to discuss Ohio State football's transformative offseason and upcoming season. The conversation centers on the Buckeyes' aggressive use of the transfer portal, which brought in 17 experienced players—including key additions like Jacoby Jackson, Kyle Parker, Devin McQuinn, and safety Terry Moore—signaling a strategic shift toward supplementing youth with veteran depth. Wasserman praises the team’s depth across all units, especially the defensive line, linebacker corps, and secondary, noting that while no single player can replace stars like Carnell Tate or Caleb Downs, the collective talent and versatility make this one of the most balanced and prepared teams in college football. He highlights Julian Sane’s expected growth as a sophomore quarterback, the emergence of new playmakers like Epi-Citanale on defense, and the importance of experienced players in high-pressure moments. The episode concludes with a forward-looking draft projection, predicting four first-round picks from Ohio State, including top-10 selections from Downs, Reese, and Stiles, and a strong case for Caden McDonald. The overall tone is optimistic and analytical, emphasizing that Ohio State’s strength lies not in individual stars but in systemic depth and adaptability.
