Episode Details

Opening / Housekeeping

• Host apologizes for lower audio quality (forgot main mic; using backup).
• Encourages likes, shares, subscribes, retweets, hype button, etc.
• Sponsored segment promoting The Voice of College Football betting picks/membership ($99/month for access to premium picks, including Steve Merrill’s under-the-radar plays).

• Quarterback: Julian Sayin is returning as starter; Day called him “the best quarterback in the country” and expects a big offseason leap (focus on pocket presence, stepping up, avoiding sacks, throws over the middle). Host is optimistic but doesn’t currently believe Sayin is #1 nationally (yet).
• Running Back: Praised Jacoby Jackson (Florida transfer, talent but injury history) and called Legend Day a “poor man’s Tyreek Hill” / “lightning in a bottle.”
• Wide Receiver: Brandon Inniss “needs to take the next step” and knows it. Host agrees — felt Sayin missed him several times last year; a bigger Inniss year could have unlocked more.
• Tight End: Nate Roberts seen as very talented young TE; host excited despite Northwestern transfer addition (Welch?).
• Offensive Line: Excited about Ian Moore potentially contributing significantly (believes he should start).

• Defensive Tackle: Will Smith Jr. and Eddrick Houston must step up big (need consistency/production).
• Linebacker: Loved Christian Alliegro’s toughness/physicality vs. Wisconsin (played through broken hand); expects him in heavy rotation with Pierce, Pettyjohn, TJ Alford.
• Cornerback: Jay Timmons & Jordan Thomas off to strong winter workouts; very high on Georgia transfer Dominic Kelly (high-level coverage, intelligent, 3 years left).
• Safety: Duke transfer Terry Moore called “dynamite” with great range; versatility (nickel/safety); high confidence in Earl Little Jr. too.

• New transfer kicker Connor Hawkins came highly recommended.
• Host excited — Ohio State desperately needs a reliable/elite kicker.

• Bo Jackson (1,090 rush yds, 8 TD + 200 rec yds last year) and Isaiah West both undergoing shoulder surgery → out for spring.
• Host views it as precautionary (protect young high-value assets); not overly worried long-term.
• With Sam WD & James Peoples gone via portal, RB room now very young: Jacoby Jackson (injury recovery), Turbo Rogers (redshirt), freshmen Legend Day & Favorite Key.
• Speculates Legend Day’s explosiveness/speed/size could make him RB3 early; Turbo could see early reps if healthy/ready.
