Kamryn Babb named to preseason Wuerffel Trophy watch list

Kamryn Babb has been a leader for Ohio State without even being able to play.

Now his leadership and community service is being recognized on a national level. The Buckeyes wide receiver was named as one of the 115 preseason nominees for the Wuerffel Trophy, given annually to college football’s best at community service.

Babb gives the Buckeyes a member of the preseason watch list for the second straight season. Former Buckeyes center Harry Miller was on the watch list last season.

One Ohio State player has won the award since it began in 2005. Former Buckeyes defensive tackle Joel Penton won the award in 2006.

Buckeyes make final cut for four-star QB Brock Glenn

Four-star Lausanne Collegiate School (Memphis, Tennesse) quarterback Brock Glenn released his final five schools Thursday — and Ohio State made the cut.

The No. 20 rated quarterback in the 2023 cycle according to the On3 Consensus Rankings also included Florida State, Auburn, TCU and LSU. Florida State has been the trendy pick to land Glenn for most of the last month.

Not only did Brock Glenn release his final five, but he also announced his commitment date for this Saturday.

Glenn has only visited the Buckeyes once, but the June 17 visit was an official and gave him a large behind-the-scenes view of the Buckeyes program and how he would fit in.

While the Buckeyes might have been late to the Glenn party, he spoke highly about them following his visit.

ICYMI: Tim May Podcast

Tim May is ready to dive into one of the hottest offseason topics at Ohio State and around the country: name, image and likeness.

No, the long-time Ohio State beat writer isn’t signing any deals or paying players. He’s just getting some details from the people involved. On the latest edition of the Tim May Podcast, The Foundation founder Brian Schottenstein and NIL Management player representative Zach Beebe break down every angle of the NIL front.

Brian formed The Foundation to help Buckeyes players with a collective effort. Zach represents some of the biggest stars on the Ohio State football team. That makes this one of the most intriguing Tim May Podcast episodes yet.

Brian, Zach and Tim have a multi-layered conversation about how good Buckeyes football can be with the full backing of the city of Columbus and the Ohio State ecosystem behind the program. It’s an interesting discussion.
