All offseason, the word from reporters and coaches alike was that the 2025 Ohio State tight end room is the deepest and best of the Ryan Day era. The talk absolutely got talked. Now the walk is being walked.
Through two games, the Buckeyes are rolling with more 12, and especially more 13 personnel than they’ve ever used under Day. The second digit of those numbers is the number of tight ends on the field, for those unfamiliar. Three tight ends have played at least 20 snaps in both of Ohio State’s games in 2025, something that didn’t happen in any games in 2024 and only once in 2023, when OSU faced FCS Youngstown State in Week 2.
