Summary

Ohio State's 2023 recruiting has spent most of its time in the background since arriving in Columbus, but that's about to change. That class enters its third season ready to take a larger role within the program. It is the core of a 2025 roster trying to repeat as national champions. So far, only one player from that class has established himself as a starter, but as OSU enters the offseason, more will surely join him. On this episode of Buckeye Talk, Stephen Means, Stefan Krajisnik and Andrew Gillis discuss a few players heading into their third years who are gearing up for breakout seasons. Plus, Stephen takes accountability for a mistake. Thanks for listening to Buckeye Talk. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
