After just one season at Ohio State former top-5 wide receiver Quincy Porter plans to enter the transfer portal.

#Crew96 makes the signing of Sekou Bangoura from Hapoel Ironi Kiryat Shmona official. The Black & Gold have their Darlington Nagbe "replacement." 🤞

After missing out on his out of high school, the #Buckeyes will look to convince former Penn State defensive end Chaz Coleman that Ohio State is the place for him this week.

Ohio State knew what its issues were -- they were nothing new -- and had three and a half weeks to fix them before the #CFBPlayoff.

The #Buckeyes failed to do so and that's why the 2026 season is over.

My postgame thoughts after Ohio State’s #CFBPlayoff loss to Miami.

Ohio State's 2025 #CFBPlayoff run starts tonight. How will it go? I joined the rest of the Bucknuts staff in discussing tonight's game and giving our score predictions.

Can confirm
@tombogert.bsky.social and @michaelarace1.bsky.social's reports that Henrik Rydström is in line to become the next #Crew96 head coach. He has managerial experience in Sweden, where he won two league titles.

Ohio State fans are frustrated by no-calls. So is Kenyatta Jackson Jr. After having words with a ref vs. Indiana, the defensive lineman has a new mindset regarding the lack of holding flags: "You're too good to let offensive linemen hold you."

Ryan Day taking over offensive play-calling should be like riding a bike for the Ohio State head coach. It should also be good news for the #Buckeyes in the #CFBPlayoff.

I'm not sure Kyle Whittingham would feel the same now.

We spoke with multiple Miami players and coaches this week ahead of the #CFBPlayoff. They gave their thoughts on Ohio State before the Cotton Bowl.

"They're the defending national champions. They have elite talent, some really high-caliber players."

We knew Jeremiah Smith was dealing with an injury, but likely not how bad it was, as he revealed today that he feared he would miss the Michigan game.

However, the Ohio State wide receiver is now healthy and ready to go in the #CFBPlayoff against Miami.

Brian Hartline is doing what other new head coaches have done, trying to balance two jobs at the most critical time of the season.

Ohio State has a plan on how to handle the offense in the #CFBPlayoff, including leaning more on Ryan Day.

It happened again. A 13-10 loss.

Ohio State used the defeat to Michigan last year to spark the run to the national championship. The #Buckeyes must use the Big Ten Championship game loss to Indiana in the same way in the #CFBPlayoff.

Thoughts on Ohio State’s Big Ten Championship loss to Indiana.

If you want to keep arguing with someone about the Jeremiah Smith touchdown in the Ohio State-Michigan game (I wouldn't), you can point out Zeke Berry's missed hold on the play. So at the worst, the referees got one call wrong for each team.

My thoughts from the #Buckeyes’ first win over Michigan since 2019.
November 29, 2025 at 11:34 PM
Can confirm that Celtic has made contact with #Crew96 about manager Wilfried Nancy. Those conversations are progressing.

My thoughts on Ohio State’s performance against Rutgers as I leave the Horseshoe.
November 22, 2025 at 11:50 PM
Without Carnell Tate and Jeremiah Smith, others have opportunities to step up against Rutgers and the #Buckeyes can prove a point today.
