Bucknuts Morning 5: An Ohio State athletics podcast

The Friday 5ish with Jonah Booker and Dave Biddle does a deep dive on Ohio State's 2026 running backs. What can be expected from this group? Also, Urban Meyer is part of a large panel that is meeting today at the White House on the future of college sports. Could this lead to guardrails being put in place for NIL? And we close the show talking some OSU hoops. If the Buckeyes beat Indiana on Saturday at the Schott, are they in the NCAA Tournament for the first time in four years? That and much more is coming your way.

Welcome to the Wednesday edition of the BM5 and we threw you a little curveball. It's Steve Helwagen taking center stage and he's ready for the spotlight.

Spring Practice gets rolling in less than a week. Hard to believe but it's true. What do we need to see? Who do we need to see? We've got ideas and names.

Ohio State's finest just put on a show at the NFL Scouting Combine. Steve was there. How would he stack the board of Buckeyes if he was running an NFL team (or the Browns)?

We finish on the hardwood as the Buckeyes try and help senior star Bruce Thornton break all-time records en route to a potential NCAA tourney bid.

Has Ohio State identified a top-of-the-board defensive end? Could he be part of special package deal?

Yes and yes. We talk Rashad Streets, his visit schedule and why we have real optimism about his future in college football.

Who else has an extremely sunny outlook when it comes to football? Louisiana native Easton Royal. His game matches his name.

And of course, we need to hit on Ohio State sending an Olympic team to the NFL Combine last week.
