Skull Session: Five-Star David Gabriel Georges Sends a Subtle Message About His Recruitment, Ohio State Has Had One of College Footballs Most Explosive Offenses Over the Past Five Years Five-star RB David Gabriel Georges sends a subtle message about his recruitment, and Ohio State has been one of college footballs most explosive teams over the past five years.
has already made his decision between finalists Ohio State and Tennessee , Volunteers fans started their victory laps on social media.
The truth is, nobody knows where Georges will commit on July 22 except Georges himself.
While his uncles comments suggested the tides may have turned in Tennessees favor, national recruiting experts still believe Ohio State remains in a strong position.
As of Tuesday, On3s Wiltfong, Alex Gleitman and Sam Spiegelman all have crystal balls predicting Georges will land with the Buckeyes.Well see if those predictions hold over the next two weeks, but until Georges makes his announcement, everything else is just smoke, mirrors and recruiting season chaos.ranked the college football programs with the most combined explosive plays since 2021, counting run plays of 10-plus yards and pass plays of 15-plus yards.
Ohio State ranked No.
5 in the FBS with 801 explosive plays, trailing only Ole Miss , Oregon , Georgia and North Texas .Even with that level of production, Ryan Day believes the Buckeyes still have another gear to reach in 2026.
Earlier this offseason, Ohio States head coach challenged the teams running backs and receivers to become more impactful in creating explosive plays.Were gonna continue to get to the second level.
They have to make people miss or run them over, and thats just the bottom line.
And if we do that, were gonna be more explosive because then were forcing guys to come down to the box, and then we can be more explosive throwing the football, Day said on April 6.I think we do have depth at receiver.
I think guys are working on run after the catch more than ever.
I think Arthur is doing a really good job of trying to be creative about the formations in a way that we can attack teams.
Thats been good.Its usually not this exotic play that creates an explosive.
We have to be on schedule so that we can take our shots and be ahead of the chains.
But it isnt always shots that create the explosive plays.
A lot of it is effort in the perimeter and blocking, Day said.And that is another challenge for Cortez and the receivers: getting to the second level and making those blocks, or whether were blocking the second level in the run game, thats it.
Everybodys got to be a part of it.
But seeing some explosive plays, and thats important.
set out to build the ultimate college football roster by position group.Just one Ohio State unit made the cut and its probably not the one you're thinking of.
Despite Jeremiah Smith being the best player in college football, Hummer gave the nod at wide receiver to Indiana, citing the Hoosiers' returning duo of Charlie Becker and Tyler Morris plus transfer additions Nick Marsh and Chazz Preston.
Indiana's receiver room is certainly talented, but Hummer is, of course, wrong.Smith alone gives Ohio State the edge, and when you add Brandon Inniss, Devin McCuin, Kyle Parker and five-star freshman Chris Henry Jr., the Buckeyes have the nation's best wide receiver room.
The Ohio State position group that did make Hummer's team was the interior offensive line, where Luke Montgomery and Carson Hinzman return as two of the most experienced players in college football.Austin Siereveld could also slide inside if Ian Moore continues his development entering his third season in Columbus, which would give the Buckeyes three stalwarts on the inside protecting Julian Sayin and paving paths for Bo Jackson.compared the five-star small forward to two NBA players: budding star Jalen Johnson of the Atlanta Hawks and future Hall of Famer Kawhi Leonard of the Toronto Raptors.Heres what Biancardi wrote about Henry, the younger brother of Ohio State womens basketball player Seini Henry and football player Chris Henry Jr.: Henry is a spitting image of Johnson -- a gifted five-star recruit in 2020 with enough feel to create with the ball in his hands either for himself or others -- and may also be the most versatile prospect in the 2027 class.
Both have similar ballhandling and decision-making skills to score from any area on the floor.Henry's offensive footwork and strong driving ability even invoke a young Leonard at the same stage.
He's making strides as a leader as well.
Go get him, Jake Diebler.
I need to see him on the floor with Anthony Thompson and LJ Smith as soon as possible.
