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's 2026 football outlook with a national perspective. The conversation dives deep into the Buckeyes' massive roster turnover—53 new faces since Ryan Day took over—highlighting strategic portal additions across all positions. Wasserman praises Ohio State's embrace of the transfer portal, noting the team’s depth at defensive line, linebacker, and secondary, with key additions like Jacoby Jackson, Quay Russell, and Terry Moore. He emphasizes that while no single player can replace stars like Carnell Tate or Caleb Downs, the collective talent and veteran experience make this one of the most balanced and deep rosters in college football. The discussion also covers quarterback Julian Sane’s expected growth, the importance of a reliable kicker, and the potential for multiple first-round draft picks. Wasserman concludes that Ohio State’s focus on depth and experience positions them as a national title contender, especially in high-pressure games where intangibles matter most.
