Change has permeated the Columbus skyline since Meechie Johnson was last at Ohio State in 2022.
None of his former Buckeye teammates are still on the team, with center Zed Key being the last to leave with his transfer to Dayton this spring. The head coach is different, with Jake Diebler taking over for Chris Holtmann in February after a midseason change.
