Bucknuts Morning 5

Ohio State wanted Henry To'o To'o bad, but they didn't get him. And they wanted him to be the starting middle linebacker. Therefore, what does this say about the Buckeyes' current situation at middle linebacker? Dave Biddle flies solo on this edition of the show to discuss that, what fans can expect from guys like Cody Simon and Dallas Gant, the good news that it's looking more and more like we will have full capacities for OSU football games this fall, two young defensive backs to get excited about for the Buckeyes and more.All of that and more is coming your way on the Monday 5ish.

What is the latest on wide receiver Jameson Williams who transferred from Ohio State to Alabama? Speaking of transfers, will the Buckeyes get a great one in linebacker Henry To'o To'o from Tennessee? If so, when? And are four Buckeyes really projected to be first-round selections in the 2022 NFL Draft?Jonah Booker joins Dave Biddle on the Friday 5ish to discuss that and much more.

You know the names. You know the position. You know the NFL Draft round: First (usually). Ohio State cornerbacks Bradley Roby (2014), Eli Apple (2016), Marshon Lattimore (2017), Gareon Conley (2017), Denzel Ward (2018), Jeffrey Okudah (2020) and Damon Arnette (2020) all enjoyed first round signing bonus cash. Other starters along the way - Doran Grant (2015-fourth round), Kendall Sheffield (2019-fourth round) and Shaun Wade (2021-sixth round) also heard their names called, albeit later than desired.But this much is clear: If you're an Ohio State starting cornerback, chances are you're headed to the NFL. Really, really good chances. Word has reached Florida when it comes to cornerback and team success in Columbus. On Wednesday, the Buckeyes received a commitment from cornerback Ryan Turner. He joins  fellow Floridian defensive back Jaheim Singletary and Kyle Stokes in the Class of 2022 haul Ohio State is putting together.Will the Sunshine State takeover continue?

On Sunday, there was a bit of a recruiting surprise as Ohio State landed 3-star prospect Kye Stokes from Florida. However, calling Stokes a 3-star recruit is not something that people will be able to do for much longer as his offer list is extremely impressive and it looks like the Buckeyes landed a good one.Patrick Murphy joins Dave Biddle for today's show to discuss that and look back on the NFL Draft from Ohio State's perspective. And here's a little tease: the reports that tight end Luke Farrell from OSU (who was taken by the Jacksonville Jaguars with the first pick of the fifth round) is a 29-year-old former minor league baseball player are false.
