Buckeyes Spring Ball: Rising Stars Emerge
5 Mar
Summary
- Julian Sayin aims to build on a strong debut season.
- Chris Henry Jr. is a top receiver recruit joining the team.
- Devin Sanchez is poised to become a starting cornerback.

Ohio State's spring football practices commence on March 10, initiating 15 sessions for the Buckeyes' 2026 season preparation. Julian Sayin, who finished fourth in Heisman Trophy voting last season, is expected to further develop under Ryan Day's coaching, aiming to overcome challenges faced in past postseason games.
Chris Henry Jr., the nation's top-ranked receiver recruit, has committed to Ohio State, offering a potential solution at wide receiver opposite Jeremiah Smith. His size and talent could lead to an immediate starting role.
On the offensive line, Ian Moore is a player to watch. If he proves ready for a starting position, it could lead to adjustments in the line's configuration. Zion Grady, a promising sophomore defensive end, is making strides and could become a key pass rusher.
In the secondary, Devin Sanchez, a top-10 recruit, is the favorite to take over as the starting cornerback. His physical play and length make him a strong candidate to become the next breakout defensive star for the Buckeyes.
