Ohio State offers massive transfer portal offensive tackle

The Buckeyes are looking to the portal to fill potential gaps on their offensive line

Even though I’d like to believe [autotag]Ryan Day[/autotag] reads my content, I know he doesn’t.

What I do know is we both see a need at offensive tackle, especially considering the potential for both tackles, [autotag]Paris Johnson Jr.[/autotag] and [autotag]Dawand Jones[/autotag], to move to the next level after this season.

At minimum, one of the two will leave early. And with not much experience behind them, Day pulled the trigger on former Rhode Island offensive tackle [autotag]Ajani Cornelius[/autotag] and offered him a scholarship. The lineman checks in at 6 feet, 4 inches and 320 pounds. He is getting interest from a good number of Power Five programs, including Oregon, Nebraska, Tennessee, Boston College and Illinois.

The next step for the Buckeyes is getting Cornelius on campus, something Oregon did this past weekend. Hopefully Day can get that visit soon to show Cornelius what Ohio State has to offer.

All eyes were on Notre Dame at Ohio State during Week 1

That’s a lot of viewers

When you have two of the most recognizable college football programs facing off against each other during the real opening weekend of game, you are sure that many people will be tuning in.

That is exactly what happened during this past Saturday night and although things did no go the way of the Irish, the game pulled the highest viewership of any contest. The Buckeyes and [autotag]Notre Dame[/autotag] had over 10-million viewers per @ShowBuzzDaily, 3-million more than the next highest watched contest, Florida State and LSU. The Oregon vs. Georgia and Colorado State vs. Michigan game rounded out the top four watched games of the weekend.

This just goes to show you the strength of both programs among fan bases. Notre Dame will have better days but there were plenty of eyes on the Irish this weekend.
