About this episode

The hosts discuss offseason developments including black stripe removals, jersey number changes, and insights from Ohio State's Pro Day.

We’re back with our March offseason episode, and we’re talking about black stripes, jersey numbers, and coaching consultants. Yeah, it’s spring ball fever! Catch it! Ohio State had its annual Pro Day, and although we don’t pay tons of attention to it, you couldn’t miss the video of Arvell Reese doing Arvell Reese things. Carnell Tate doesn’t have to run a 40 for people to know he’s a good wide receiver worthy of a high draft selection spot. We touch on those and other things from Pro Day. There’s an unbelievable rate of players in spring ball this year as almost the entire class is already on campus. Some of those players are already making their mark, as two guys out of the transfer portal had their black stripes removed after Saturday’s practice. We discuss who, and why it’s a good sign for the roster heading into 2026. One of the annual things that takes some getting used to is figuring out who is who when departing players open up their jersey numbers for the generations of players behind them. We discuss the interesting case of Kenyatta Jackson, who has a new number, may be eyeing another number instead, and how that could have a ripple effect through the rest of the roster…
