At the end of the 2025 season, the Ohio State football team lost its last two games due to poor offensive line play. The guys up front did not allow Julian Sayin enough time to survey the field, which resulted in the Buckeyes not being able to score enough points.
The run blocking was not enough, either. Ryan Day will have four of his five starters from this past season back for 2026, only losing Tegra Tshabola. He was the weakest starter, so that will be an addition by subtraction for the Ohio State Buckeyes. They are trying to improve the trenches on the recruiting trail, as well.
