The UFL's Columbus Aviators have hired former Ohio State and NFL wide receiver Ted Ginn Jr. as their head coach.

Ohio State recognizes those who earn first-team All-American honors by planting a tree in Buckeye Grove in their name. Smith, Downs, Reese, McDonald and defensive end Caden Curry earned that honor last week, but a teammate joined them Tuesday when the AFCA released its selections.

The college football season is longer than ever and the Ohio State Buckeyes try to counter that with their pace of play on offense. Ohio State feels the fewer snaps they get off, the less wear and tear that their offense takes.

The New Orleans Saints are a team playing with some serious juice right now. Despite the fact that the Saints have been eliminated from playoff contention for a bit at this point, New Orleans now is on its first winning streak of the season with potential for more to come.

The Buckeyes are familiar with Raiola from his time as a recruit. The former five-star prospect in the 2024 class was once committed to Ohio State, but he later flipped to Georgia then Nebraska.

People who like an old-school, physical brand of football in the trenches will be big fans of Kennyatta Jackson Jr. The 6'6", 265-pound defensive end has a good frame to work with and wins with impressive strength in both phases of the game.
