The show also covers a surprise visit from top cornerback Gabriel Osborne from Oklahoma, whose 4.44 40-yard dash and elite athleticism have generated buzz.

Cornerback & Defensive Back Updates
“Look at the athleticism. I mean, that looks like a safety linebacker coming downhill.”
Defensive Line & Larry Johnson Update

Spring Game Preview & Player Watchlist
Devin previews the upcoming spring game, highlighting key players to watch: Julian Sands, Tavian St. Clair, Jaquaden Guilford, Chris Henry Jr., and new portal additions. He encourages fans to send in clips.
“Ohio State got his commitment for a reason. Okay? So it's going to be extremely hard for somebody to pull him away from Ohio State, even if he is all about NIL.”
“You sign a high schooler, you give him half a million dollars, he shows up and you can kind of see that he's probably not going to be contributing his sophomore year anymore. You're letting him go. Well, that's $500,000 gone down the drain.”
“He is telling them, man, I'm going to be around, right? Like he told one recruit that he's sticking around specifically for this class because how much potential there is in this defensive line class.”
