Assessing Which Members of Ohio State’s 2022 Class Have the Best Chance for Breakout Second Years in 2023

That’s what we spend most of our time discussing on this week’s episode of Real Pod Wednesdays.

First, we talk about the impact of a couple of Ohio State football news items that dropped over the past week: The addition of transfer offensive lineman Victor Cutler and the return of sixth-year safety Josh Proctor. Then, we talk about all 21 members of Ohio State’s 2022 class and discuss their outlooks going into their second year as Buckeyes.

The full rundown of this week’s show:

  • 1:13: Victor Cutler isn’t the transfer addition we expected, but it’s an addition that makes sense once you dig into it
  • 6:41: Cutler’s addition could keep Matt Jones at guard, but expect Ohio State to experiment with different combinations during the spring
  • 9:37: Ohio State has already added more transfers than ever before, and that total could increase in May
  • 13:07: With Josh Proctor returning, Ohio State has a lot of options to fill its starting safety spots this year
  • 17:24: Proctor wouldn’t return if he didn’t think he’d be a starter, but he’s going to have to earn that job
  • 20:51: All three returning sixth-year seniors could provide significant value for the 2023 Buckeyes
  • 22:32: C.
