TreVeyon Henderson dominates a pass-blocking rep so much that it starts a joint-practice scrum, then runs back a kickoff return for a touchdown a few days later. What a week!.

I know positional value blah, blah, blah … but safety Caleb Downs should be a top-five NFL Draft pick in 2026. Don’t look to the stats, look to the tape. The stats could be great this year, too, though.

Ohio State QBs taking snaps early in practice on the first day of camp. Julian Sayin and Lincoln Kienholz are competing for the starting job. Ryan Day is waiting for the pads to come on before making any harsh judgments.
