Ohio State’s 2026 recruiting class is underrated, and I’m here to explain why.

The Portal - Daily College Recruiting and NIL Podcast ·

2025/08/30

The Auburn Tigers ran over the Baylor Bears, with quarterback Jackson Arnold leading the way with 137 yards and 2 touchdowns on the ground. The offensive line, led by All-American candidate Connor Lew, did a tremendous job of pushing the Bears off the line of scrimmage. Baylor’s defense definitely has problems, and that’s a reason Dave Aranda is likely to end up being on the chopping block until further notice. The offense is great but Aranda is supposed to be a defensive specialist. Finally,
