    Former Ohio State Players Find New NFL Teams For 2021 Along with offensive lineman Pat Elflein, who was announced to be signing with the Carolina Panthers, two more Ohio State players have been reported to be on the move, and will be joining new NFL teams for the 2021 season. Chargers, center Corey Linsley agree to five-year, $62.5M deal. (via @MikeGarafolo + @TomPelissero) pic.twitter.com/rAfPpf7Oh5 — NFL (@NFL) March 15, 2021 Former Green Bay Packers center Cory Linsley, who spent all seven years with the team since being drafted in the fifth round in the 2014 NFL Draft, was announced to be signing with the Los Angeles Chargers. Linsley, who was named as a first-team All-Pro in 2020, signed for five years and $62.5 million, which makes him the highest-paid center in the NFL. In Los Angeles, he will be joining a pair of former Buckeyes in defensive end Joey Bosa and wide receiver K.J. Hill. Bosa, like Linsley, is the highest paid player at his position. Another former Ohio State player in running back Carlos Hyde made the move to Jacksonville, where he will reunite with Urban Meyer for 2 years and $6 million, according to multiple reports. Source: Carlos Hyde to the #Jaguars. 2 years $6 mil. — Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) March 15, 2021 Hyde saw limited action in 2020 during his lone season with the Seattle Seahawks, where he rushed 81 times for 356 yards and four touchdowns. The season before that, Hyde broke 1,000 yards for the first time, rushing for 1,070 yards and six scores for the Houston Texans.

  • Behind Enemy Lines: Greg Schiano Builds Rutgers Through Transfers, Experience
    Behind Enemy Lines: Greg Schiano Builds Rutgers Through Transfers, Experience Behind Enemy Lines is Buckeye Sports Bulletin’s newest series on how teams outside of Ohio State — but relevant to Ohio State through history or through skill level — are recruiting in the current cycle. Up first is Rutgers. The Chris Ash era of Rutgers did not go according to plan, with Ash, the former co-defensive coordinator at Ohio State in 2014 and 2015, going 8-32 as a head coach with the Scarlet Knights, including a brutal 3-26 record in conference. Ash never was able to get his recruiting classes fully off the ground, with his 2017 class, which finished No. 42 in the country and ninth in the Big Ten, marking his highest national ranking. His other classes all finished outside of the top 50 and in the bottom three of the conference. “The best way to describe Chris Ash’s tenure was he had the right vision, like he had the right plan when kind of adopting from what Urban [Meyer] did at Ohio State and guys like Barry Alvarez,” Garrett Stepien, national recruiting writer for 247Sports, told Buckeye Sports Bulletin. “But he just was like a square peg in a round hole. “He was a Midwest guy in New Jersey, and his problem was he would get really close on closing with kids, like Rutgers would be in players’ top fives and things of that nature, but they could just never break through, and I think a lot of that had to do with just he couldn’t really connect with kids because he was kind of like a foreigner.” Ash was fired on Sept.

    2017 APBA BIG TEN CONFERENCE COLLEGE FOOTBALL SET ROSTER The following players comprise the 2017 season APBA Big Ten ConferenceCollege Football Player Card Set. The regular starters at each position are listed first in bold and should be used most frequently. Realistic use of the players below will generate statistical results remarkably similar to those from real life. IMPORTANT: When a Red "K" appears in the R-column as the result on any kind of running play from scrimmage or on any return, roll the dice again, refer to the K-column, and use the number there for the result. When a player has a "K" in his R-column, he can never be used for kicking or punting. If the symbol "F-K" or "F-P" appears on a players card, it means that you use the K or P column when he recovers a fumble.
