- The depth-chart signal is the same linebacker-room note: Ohio State is expected to rotate younger LBs, but the Wisconsin transfer is viewed as the veteran stabilizer. - If that read is right, the LB group may have a clearer high-floor tackle leader than the raw depth chart suggests, which matters for projecting defensive reliability. - The other supplied clip is historical WR/QB comparison and does not add 2026 outlook value.

- Ohio State is expected to lean more heavily into a smash-mouth run game and two-tight-end formations in 2026. - Three-receiver sets will remain part of the offense, but the panel expects a stronger rushing emphasis behind an offensive line it views favorably. Red-zone efficiency and keeping Jeremiah healthy were identified as key offensive priorities.

- Ohio State's breakout/depth outlook has several health caveats, with one potential No. 2 or No. 3 running back framed as valuable if he can stay healthy. - Jacoby Jackson is discussed as a veteran option whose career has been shaped by medical redshirt/redshirt/COVID eligibility and repeated health issues. - If both Jermaine Matthews and Jacoby Jackson are healthy, the speaker expects Jackson to be the No. 2 option in that defensive back context. - The offensive line also has pressure points: if the projected left tackle wins the job, the speaker said he needs to have a strong year.

- The speaker thinks the market is not giving enough weight to what Ohio State did with its coordinator positions. - Oregon is flagged as a comparison point because Dan Lanning is viewed as a good head coach but now has two basically rookie coordinators. - Oregon losing its offensive coordinator is treated as especially important because Lanning's background is defense, even if that can mitigate some concerns.
