On paper, the Ohio State Buckeyes have arguably the best roster in college football. After a somber end to the 2023 season that easily could have resulted in negative momentum for the Buckeyes, the opposite happened. Many of the potential NFL prospects decided to return to Ohio State like Emeka Egbuka and TreVeyon Henderson.
We also saw some top prospects in the transfer portal, like Caleb Downs deciding to join the Buckeyes. There were also several key staff changes including the hiring of Chip Kelly as offensive coordinator and Carlos Locklyn to coach the running backs. All these off-season changes have put the Buckeyes on the path to contend for the national title.
