The

The Good morning Bucknotters.

Welcome to the Bucknuts Morning 5 here on Monday, June 15th, 2026.

I am Dave Biddle.

Very happy, joined by Dan Rubin.

Dan and I are going to look at really predict which Ohio State players are

going to have breakout seasons this year. How are we defining that? Basically, however we want

to define it, however, Dan and I want to define a breakout player. Now, I will say something like,

is Bo Jackson really eligible to be a breakout player? I guess if you could say, like, he's going to

rush for 2,000 yards, but I would say Bo Jackson's already had his breakout year. If you rush for a thousand yards as a true freshman, really almost 1100 yards as a true freshman at Ohio State, that's your breakout year. But you could be a returning starter. Maybe he didn't play, you know, maybe as well as people thought, didn't have as much production as people thought last year, you'd still be eligible to be a breakout player. So we're just having fun. It's like however you want to define it. So like Julian Sand cannot have a breakout year this year, right? He had his breakout year last year. Even if he wins the Heisman, that's not a breakout year. This is how I define it, though. Before we do that, though, good recruit that the Buckeyes landed yesterday in the 2027 class.

Deonté Moore, corner from Massell and Washington, low four-star according to the composite,

high three-star according to 24-7 sports in-house ratings.

But good get for the Buckeyes, Dan.

Yeah, De Yante Malone, as they build out the 2027 quarterback group,

we will have Mark Porter's Buckeye in the Sky video evaluation coming up shortly after

this show.

In fact, if you're not in real time, go check it out right now, or at least

wait and watch this and go do it. And that is premium. So use your promo there at the bottom

if you have not gotten that. Very versatile player, high priority in-state. I'm not really

concerned about the rankings. Low four star in state can mean other stuff.

Comes from a great program, very, very explosive, has gotten it done at corner and wide receiver

and almost a return guy for them.
