Summary

On this Buckeye Talk mini-pod, Doug Lesmerises, Nathan Baird and Stephen Means examine the most mysterious of Ohio State football positions -- tight end. Jeremy Ruckert was a major tight end recruit in the Class of 2018, but he hasn't received a ton of opportunities in the OSU offense, yet he's made plays when the ball is thrown his way. What does Ruckert's career tell us about tight ends at Ohio State and what the future may hold? And how does his usage compare to other top tight ends around the Big Ten? Plus, the guys offer their advice on frozen pizza, and there's an update on the Favorite Modern Football Buckeye bracket. Don't miss our big regular episode each Wednesday, and we hope you're enjoying these mini-pod additions to the Buckeye Talk world. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
