Tennessee Tight End Ty Lockwood Now a 2023 Ohio State Commit

August 3, 2022September 28, 2021 by Steven R

Ohio State got the tight-end they greatly needed for 2023 when in the middle of August Ty Lockwood from Independence High School in Thompson’s Station TN gave a verbal commitment to the program. The four star recruit made the announcement shortly before starting his junior season.

Recruit Ty Lockwood

Lockwood, a 6-foot-5, 225-pound tight end/wide receiver, is rated as the No. 3 overall prospect in the state of Tennessee for the class of 2023 and the No. 8 tight end nationally. Playing for Independence High School in Thompson’s Station, Tennessee, Lockwood registered 43 receptions for 606 yards and three touchdowns as a sophomore a year ago.

Ohio State 2023 Recruiting Class

Bennett Christian, a 6-foot-6, 235 pounds, a top-rated tight end for the prior cycle is committed to Ohio State but they were looking for two at the position for the class. He picked up an offer from the Buckeyes during his official visit for one of their satellite camps back in June 2017. It’s becoming increasingly likely he’s the only tight end Ohio State will take 2022.

Receiver Jameson Williams with Alabama

July 26, 2022September 15, 2021 by Steven R

Ohio State fans are familiar with receiver Jameson Williams who came to Ohio State and was third on the depth chart behind Garrett Wilson and Chris Olave but left for Alabama before the 2021 season. “Going into Ohio State, I thought that was going to be my spot,” Williams told Bama Insider on what he felt when he first went to Columbus Ohio.

Williams Not a Key Part of the Offense at Ohio State

“I was looking forward to the season at Ohio State, but they didn’t use me the way I thought they would use me. I think my role was different than what I really wanted it to be. I didn’t feel like I was standing out like I felt like I would standing out.”I started looking at my situation and talking with my parents about my situation and I felt like I made my decision (to leave) based on my circumstances. Me and coach Meyer had a talk and he said, “Hey, it looks like you’re thinking about transferring.” He said that he would release me if that was what I wanted to do. We went from there and that’s when I started thinking more … Read more at FryingPanSports

The Browns front office must go!

September 7, 2022October 7, 2017 by Bill Smith

There is a lot of conversation about whether Kizer is franchise QB the team has needed for so long. He might be exactly what the Browns need at the most important position in the game. But it is hard to tell when so many throws that are right on target are dropped by a receiver group that is worse than 2 teams I coached in semi-pro football.

The brain-dead people making draft picks have given HC Jackson a team that is green as baby peas. They let the 1 WR that had 1000+ yards and was new to the WR position go but brought in a guy that could not catch a cold standing naked on the edge of Lake Erie in a sleet storm. He also has 1 1000 yard season but has been in the league for years.

They also passed up 2 other QBs that could have started the “rebuild” much earlier and given beaten down Browns fans some hope. If this group made good choices with those extra picks I might agree. They do not and the proof is the 1 win we have seen in the two years that they have been in control.
