Columbus via New York
Hello X. It’s been a bit, but I come with news. Fired up to announce I’ll be covering Ohio State sports for @11W! Excited to head to Columbus full time at the start of August and begin. Grateful to @Dan_Hope, @chaseabrown__ and the rest of the team for the opportunity.

Ohio State has 15 healthy players, and a pair of former players in William Buford and Jared Sullinger on staff. In turn, Jake Diebler said the team has "tried to make this the hardest fall" since he's been head coach. “We’ve laid a great foundation.” elevenwarriors.com/ohio-stat…

Kevin McGuff's team likes to play fast — that identity isn't going anywhere, but neither is most of last year’s roster. With 8 returners, 4 of which that started, Ohio State brings back plenty of experience. “We’re lucky to be able to do that.” elevenwarriors.com/ohio-stat…

Ryan Day on 97.1 The Fan says he sees Chris Henry Jr. and Brock Boyd "playing a lot of football" moving forward. "They're going to be major contributors, and we need them to not play like freshmen, to really step up, because they're going to have the opportunity."

Ohio State brought out the “Bison” package against Kent State, so in came Jake Cook as the sixth offensive lineman. With his violent mentality, this is a look the Buckeyes will build on. “He knows what he's doing. And it’s ‘fuck it, I’m going to run.’” elevenwarriors.com/ohio-stat…

Riley Pettijohn came out of the Kent State game saying it was cool to see the young guys play — interesting thing to say for a sophomore. He’s acting like a veteran, and playing like one, making a case to start. "He can impact a game really quick.” elevenwarriors.com/ohio-stat…

It isn’t clear if Phillip Daniels will be able to play against Illinois. As a result, Gabe VanSickle is in line for his second straight start. “This would be a great opportunity for him to grade out a champion against a conference opponent.” elevenwarriors.com/ohio-stat…

Ryan Day said if Luke Fahey “continues to do what he’s doing, I would continue to see it going that way” when asked if he’s officially won the backup quarterback job. Said he doesn’t want him or Tavien St.Clair to let up on the competition.

Jamir Perez was mobbed by teammates after his scoop-and-score as he hit the “Sexy Dexy.” The celebration was important to Ryan Day, as a week ago emotions were down after a loss to Texas. It wasn’t perfect vs. Kent State, but leaving with a win was key. elevenwarriors.com/ohio-stat…
