Max Klare, Jelani Thurman and Ohio State’s tight end depth
Keenan Bailey is excited about Ohio State's 2025 tight end room and he has good reason to be.

Arvell Reese, Sonny Styles and the limitless ceiling of Ohio State's linebackers
Ohio State's 2025 starting linebacker tandem might have the highest ceiling of any duo in quite some time.
James Laurinaitis has developed the room to the point that a group that lost its leader and most productive player can essentially not be missed. That's not a knock on the now-departed Cody Simon. It's a salute to a player who clearly left the room in a quality place. Now guys are ready to take over his role both on the field and in the locker room as leaders. That starts with its top two guys as in-state talents ready to maximize their potential.
On this episode of Buckeye Talk, Stephen Means, Stefan Krajisnik and Andrew Gillis discuss just how high that ceiling is.
