What will we see now at Running Back for the Buckeyes?
Summary
Host Chuck analyzes David Gabriel George’s commitment to Tennessee, attributing it to financial incentives and his uncle’s influence rather than recruiting failures. He defends Carlos Lachlan and outlines Ohio State’s strategy to target six alternative running backs, including Nigel Newkirk and Elijah Kimball. The episode emphasizes seeking players with elite traits over prototypical fits to fill the remaining roster spot.
