We assuming it’s Rosa or some other running back?
Seems a good guess.
He posted his offer from Duke last night, would be a pretty big surprise to see Rosa commit today.

I only have 3 guesses about this.

1) Victor Rosa was convinced at the 11th hour to join us.
2) It's some other FBS RB who was contacted, and he immediately said yes.
3) It's a competent Kicker. (Blair is the ST Coordinator after all)

He could have also personally signed his own contract to stay on with Hauser.


Also, it could be Owen Schaadt who just signed yesterday. (4 start kicker according to the Kohls camps)

Welcome TE Jake Furtney, Illinois. Like our other p4 portal signees, we recruited him out of HS.

With Metzger and Furtney, we solved the TE puzzle. Now we go to the other positions.

The Clown 10-12-14+ has a ton of big ass O-Lineman in the portal. osu Sophomore from Pick Central - Justin Terry is in the portal. (6.5", 315lbs). Still hoping Gillison comes back to play with his boys from Pick North.

Michigan State has like 20 players still in the portal. Now I'm starting to understand the percentages reported of players not landing a spot. Everyone wants paid a bag and that is not a realistic expectation.

I thought he was mostly basketball.

He called me names when I told him how I knew former OU coach Dale Bandy…my dad and his dad were good friends

Chase Hendricks officially to Cal. Their QB as a true freshman threw for 3,400+, 18 TDs and 9 picks last year so he should have plenty of opportunity to show out against ACC competition.

Could this affect Harris now that its official Hendricks is off to Cal? He could stay at Ohio now and become the leading receiver for 2026.

Interior D-Line is still on my mind. Aside from Gillison, I wish we could get any one of these guys:

I’d love if Harris decided to come back, but I think we are in a good spot now with Dorwart, Pugh, Bowman now, and the tight ends.

Harris graduated and walked, so he could be looking for any combination of a paycheck, good grad program, or just another free year in a new locale.

If his recovery goes well, and he stays, don’t forget Rodarte.

This guy is a bonecrusher. Hopefully he commits. Could be a dynamic duo with Christopher.

Definitely a mauler or road grader or whatever you want to call him….how about a planter since he plants people into the ground.
