Look, it's cool that fans can , but $48?! Ohio State is selling tickets to its first three practices of preseason camp, with tickets starting at $48. — Eleven Warriors (@11W) That's a littleeeeee steep, don't ya think? Have a good Friday. ONE OF THE TITANS. Jaxon Smith-Njigba is a Seahawk, but he's also a Titan. This week, named the former Ohio State wide receiver one of the 100 most influential people in sports, placing him in its Titan category alongside stars such as Cristiano Ronaldo, Rory McIlroy, Alex Morgan and Victor Wembanyama. Smith-Njigba earned the recognition after a dominant 2025 season with the Seattle Seahawks. He caught a career-high 119 passes for an NFL-best 1,793 yards and 10 touchdowns, winning NFL Offensive Player of the Year honors while helping lead Seattle to a Super Bowl championship. He also starred in the postseason, recording 17 receptions for 199 yards and two touchdowns across three playoff games. The recognition matches the résumé. Jaxon Smith-Njigba, 's 100 Most Influential People in Sports 2026. | — Seattle Seahawks (@Seahawks) In March, Smith-Njigba signed a record-setting with Seattle. The deal carries an average annual value of $42.15 million and includes $120 million in guaranteed money, both records for an NFL wide receiver. While Smith-Njigba is the only former Ohio State athlete featured among TIME's sports honorees, he's not the only Buckeye connection on the list. Ohio State fans LeBron James and Denny Hamlin also earned recognition in the Icon and Innovator categories, respectively. James has long supported , while Hamlin's Buckeye fandom has become a recurring topic on his Actions Detrimental podcast. In March 2025, Hamlin celebrated a NASCAR victory by waving an Ohio State-. PRIMED FOR SUCCESS. The future of college football's recession-proof program is, unsurprisingly, secure. This week, ranked all 68 Power Four teams based on their quarterback situations, offensive and defensive line outlooks, roster management, star power (All-Americans, national award candidates and all-conference contenders) and coaching staffs. Ohio State checked in at No. 2, trailing only Marcus Freeman's Notre Dame program. Here's what Rittenberg wrote about the Buckeyes in each category: QB situation: Despite an abrupt ending to the season, Julian Sayin had an excellent first year as QB1, leading the nation with 77% completions and finishing fourth in touchdown passes (32), while passing for 3,610 yards. Sayin could play through 2027, but Ohio State has a successor in Tavien St. Clair, the nation's No. 10 recruit in 2025, who excelled during spring practice. Offensive line/defensive line outlook: Both groups are under the microscope after the O-line's late struggles in 2025, and the D-line losing No. 5 NFL draft pick Arvell Reese and second-rounder Kayden McDonald. Ohio State returns 91 career starts on the offensive line, led by senior center Carson Hinzman, junior tackle Austin Siereveld and senior guard Luke Montgomery. Junior tackle Phillip Daniels started all 13 games last fall and sophomore Ian Moore emerged this spring as a viable option at tackle. Senior end Kenyatta Jackson Jr., who shared the team sacks lead (6.5) with Reese, is back to lead the defensive line, which picked up transfers in Qua Russaw (Alabama), James Smith (Alabama) and John Walker (UCF). Sophomore Zion Grady should be a multiyear contributor at end, and Beau Atkinson returns. Roster management: The Buckeyes absorbed an NFL draft hit with four first-round picks and three second-rounders, but they weren't overly active in the portal other than defensive line and secondary as safeties Earl Little Jr. (Florida State) and Terry Moore (Duke) arrived. The team also added Northwestern tight end Hunter Welcing. Ohio State retained Sayin, All-America wide receiver Jeremiah Smith, running back Bo Jackson, the offensive line core and seasoned defenders such as Jackson. They lost starting guard Tegra Tshabola (Kentucky), running back James Peoples (Penn State) and some depth at wide receiver, defensive line and cornerback. Ohio State signed the nation's No. 9 recruiting class, headlined by wide receiver Chris Henry Jr. (No. 7 overall) and outside linebacker Cincere Johnson (No. 26). The team already has two top-10 commits for 2027 (defensive end D.J. Jacobs and wide receiver Jamier Brown). Star power: Despite the NFL departures, Ohio State should populate All-Big Ten and national honors races with Smith, the Biletnitkoff Award favorite, and Sayin. Siereveld, Montgomery and Jackson all earned second-team All-Big Ten honors in 2025, while cornerback Jermaine Mathews Jr. was a third-team selection. Little was second-team All-ACC at Florida State, and Welcing earned honorable mention All-Big Ten.
