Ohio State legacy visits, then is offered a scholarship

His 2002 national championship father must be proud #GoBucks

Ohio 2025 athlete [autotag]Trey McNutt[/autotag] is pretty familiar with the Ohio State program; his father Richard helped the Buckeyes win a national title during the 2002 season.

It’s not always the case that sons inherit their father’s abilities, but for Trey, it is. The 6-foot, 180-pound athlete is going to be a big time recruit and the Buckeyes are getting on him early.

Following a visit to his father’s alma mater, the younger McNutt was offered a scholarship. Although Trey is not yet listed on the 247Sports composite, he soon will be with the offers that he has accumulated after just finishing his sophomore season.

Trey is viewed as an athlete at the moment but could end up playing defense like his father, especially considering which Buckeye coaches he tagged following the offer.

The younger McNutt could join [autotag]Will Smith Jr.[/autotag] as another son of a former 2002 national champion on the current Ohio State team.

Eddie George adds former Buckeyes to Tennessee State coaching staff

Eddie George is putting together quite a coaching staff at Tennessee State which will include former Ohio State players.

Since being named head football coach at Tennessee State University, Eddie George has been busy trying to get the program in position to succeed. He landed a high-profile recruit from Texas A&M in the transfer porter recently and now he is putting together one heck of a coaching staff.

George has added some big names on the offensive and defensive side of the ball naming Brandon Fisher, son of former Tennessee Titans head coach Jeff Fisher as defensive coordinator, and Hue Jackson as his offensive coordinator. Jackson of course didn’t have a great run as a head coach in Cleveland but was very successful in Cincinnati as the OC.

George has also brought in some former Ohio State Buckeyes to round out his coaching staff. It was announced that Richard McNutt will be the defensive backs coach and Pepe Pearson has been named the running backs coach.

McNutt played for the Buckeyes in the early 2000s and has spent time coaching at Toledo, Kent State, Northern Illinois, and one year with the Browns in the NFL.

Pearson was teammates with George at OSU. He took the lead role in the backfield for the Bucks in 1996, the year after Eddie won the Heisman and rushed for over 1400 yards. Pearson has spent the previous five seasons as the running backs coach at Marshall University.

George is putting together quite a staff at TSU. With this kind of coaching talent, it may not be long before the Tigers are competing for championships. And we love to see a little scarlet and gray sprinkled across the college coaching landscape.
