Non-Apple folks like me, spreeker.com, hit us up there. Buckeye Scoop family, Buckeye Nation was good. I see y'all in the chat going hard per usual suspects. We're going to dive right into it. Going to talk about a generational five-star to a house state. A house state, excuse me, phenom. It's a familiar name. And there's been some updates with this prospect. We're going to talk about it as well. And so, remember, when you send us one of our super chats, it helps to go towards the pay of forward, which is our military and our first responders. We're going to look out for them because they always look out for us. Nevada, what's up, man? How are you feeling after this weekend? Busy sports weekend, and you know, I know you got some stuff coming up. What's going on? Yeah, just kind of sad that a house that to make the sweet 16. But, you know, hey, we're in the spring football. Lots of great things going on. And some recruiting stuff really starting to pick up for the Buckeyes as well.

And, you know, the Ohio State brands never been hotter. And, you know, they announced today, Jackson's fifth in Jigba is now the highest paid wide receiver in the history of the NFL. I think it was like 120, 130 million guaranteed, 42 million a year. This is a point of reference. Justin Jefferson's at 35 million a year. So that's 20% higher than Justin Jefferson for the great Jackson's fifth in Jigba. You know, unbelievable accomplishment. And obviously, all those things, whatever that happens, my first thought is always, how does that help Ohio State? And the answer is, you know, considerably. Because, you know, all these guys want to get paid. They want to develop. They want to go on to NFL riches. And, you know, it looks like, I mean, what's Jackson's fifth in Jigba going to make in the NFL? You're not 500 million dollars for something before he's gone. Great. I mean, that's what you want. That's the eye on the prize as opposed to an extra 100,000 here, an extra 100,000 there in NAL money, you know, developed your culture over cash.

And, you know, great day for the Buckeyes with Jackson's fifth in Jigba. And a great calling card for Ohio State recruiting in general. Yep. Reaching the agreement with Seattle on a four year 168.6 million contract extension that now makes it the highest paid receiver in NFL history. Like Nevada said, the deal of averages, excuse me, 42.15 million per year and includes over 120 million guaranteed both setting records for any wide receiver. So, yeah, listen, this is what we do. We do this, man. And so, for those who thought that, you know, Brian Hartline leaving would just, because there have been some hot takes, Nevada, of, oh, man, you know, we're about to fall off. Now, I don't, I ignore scum fans. They always, you know, try to cast our doom. They've been cast in our doom since, you know, Tressel was here, but even just some non-hater fans,

like, oh, well, it's over. Not so fast, my friend. Not so fast. We talked about this. Brian Hartline has had the power of the black hole behind him. And remember, the ride receiver coach before him was a pretty good recruiter, too. I mean, we've been wide receiver. You, we've been duking it out. Well, LSU and other schools for wide receiver, you for a long time. So, don't think things are just going to stop because Hartline is gone, especially when you got stuff like this happening, which is a good transition. And I will pull this up, Nevada, into the generational five-star phenom that we are referring to. And who is that? Nevada, you want to get into that? That'd be a jet Harrison, which, first of all, jet Harrison is one of the great football names of all time. You know what I'm saying? That it'd be like, if your name wasn't, it wasn't brand-in, but it was like, be hops, Moses or something like that. Or hold me, Moses. Hold me, Moses. Oh, yeah, what I heard.

I mean, like, hey, mom and dad, you shouldn't name me holy. That'd be great. Yeah, jet Harrison is an absolute fabulous name. Obviously, the son of the great White receiver, Marvin and Harrison, senior and the brother of the great Buckeye, Marvin and Harrison, Jr. So, you know, the early word from Ohio State, I mean, this has been kind of a continuing thing, but the word from Ohio State is that they, you know, confidence is high that jet Harrison's going to be a Buckeye. The word that we've gotten over the weekend from jet Harrison's camp is that's the way that that's turning it as well. So, this is, you know, a very familiar name for Ohio State fans, but this is a player that's come in. Probably much more, you know, heralded than brother Marvin. I mean, because I mean, Marvin came in and, I mean, I'm not saying he wasn't regarded a good White receiver, but it wasn't like, oh, wow, like this guy's the next, you know, the next big thing. Franky Cowell McCord was considered a higher recruit than Marvin Harrison was. It was almost like, hey,

this guy's almost like a package deal with his quarterback and this and that. The other thing like that, you know, it's funny how those things turn out. But yeah, jet Harrison, the next great Harrison White receiver, now a five star, five star White receiver, and definitely a guy that I could see Ohio State adding to their to their White receiver hall here, you know, coming up relatively shortly. So definitely good news going on on the recruiting front. For sure. Let me go out and go back into these highlights. But yes, jet Harrison is an incredible name. That's just stupid, like stupid, like fire. Like, that's a video game name. You know, when you're like playing Madden or something, you making a creative player, that's a creative player name. And so I'm going to pull those highlights up, but you're right. People forget, Marvin Harrison was like a four star. Four star kid, good prospect, but, you know, is he overhyped because of his name? I mean, you were getting stuff like that. Throw in with Kyle McCord, all that. But let me ask you, Nevada,

because I know you watch jet and I'm going to pull him up now. But I want your thoughts on the differences. I know the differences. Some of the differences I see. And I also see some similarities with him with Marvin. But there's some things that I feel like he is just low key better at. Jet is over Marvin. And so I wanted to get your thoughts on jet and then I'll jump in. Well, I mean, to me, you know, I mean, the one knock that I would have on Marvin, if you can, if you can possibly make a knock on a guy as great as Marvin Harrison was at Ohio State. I mean, you know, sure, he hasn't gone to the NFL and completely, you know, torn it up. But, you know, 12 or 14 TDs in two years, you know, 14 high yard, you know, 686 yards this year despite only playing 12 games. But I never felt like he was a big speed kind of guy, you know, like a guy that could kind of blow the top off there. And I just, you know, he, you know, you know, jet just looks twitchier and faster and more fluid

than Marvin did. And you know, Marvin was a great tactician. You know, great catch radius, really strong guy. But I think jet's more explosive. You know, I think he's a guy that could play in a number of different positions. And I think he could play in that slot that Jackson Smith and Jigsaw spot. But I also think he's a type of guy that could take the top off on the defense. So to me, just a little bit more, you know, more athletic Harrison, which that just sounds kind of crazy saying that. But that's how I, that's how I see him. And be interested to hear what your perspectives are on jet Harrison. No, I agree. I think he's clearly more explosive. But he also high points the ball just as well as Marvin Harrison was. Because Marvin Harrison in his high school film, he did a good job with 50, 50 balls. But also, look at the route. Let me go back here to about right here. Look at this route coming up. Hold on to the next clip. All right, here we go. Check out this route right here at the bottom of the screen.

Boom. And he gets held. Like stuff like that to me is just like, okay, yeah, because Marvin Harrison was very fundamental, very solid. He's bigger than jet. Jet is only 6-1. Let me see. 6-1-1-1-75. Marvin was like 16 and a half, 6-3, you know, in high school, taller. But his brother is high point in the ball just as well. His route running looks great. But he does look twitchier and more explosive. And so obviously with the smaller size, that might, you know, lead to that. But still, I mean, he might end up having a higher ceiling. The Marvin Harrison and clearly he's a five star. The rivals has him as the number one player. Right? So, I mean, look at this. Boom. I mean, he's just, he's running east and west to get north with great speed. He doesn't drop balls. I mean, to get him to come here.

Because, you know, a lot of times you'll see, not a lot of times, but sometimes you'll see some legacies or brothers say, I'm going to, you know, I'm going to do my own thing. I mean, if jet does come here, it kind of, to me, Nevada, you can tell what you think. It kind of confirms, like, you know what? Like, my brother was treated very well at that school. On and off the field. It's a great program. Craving the coffee flavor you love. But without the caffeine, Kachava's got you covered with their newest coffee flavor. This all-in-one nutrition shake delivers bold, authentic flavor, crafted from premium, decaffeinated Brazilian beans, with 25 grams of protein, six grams of fiber, greens, and so much more.

I've got Dan Morgan here on the pod.

Say hi, Dan. Hey, how's it going today? It's going good, man. Tell us who you are and what you do. I'm Dan Morgan. I'm an attorney and a managing partner at Morgan Morgan, which is America's largest injury law firm. That's pretty awesome. I think I saw billboarded years recently that said 20 billion one. 20 billion is an insane number. Yeah, 20 billion recovered. It's actually, I think, somewhere north probably closer to 22, 23 after this year. And each year we get bigger and better and our army grows, so the number will hopefully keep getting bigger and bigger as time goes on. Awesome. So how does someone get in contact with Morgan and Morgan? What would I do if I got to an accident? Probably the easiest way is dialing pound law. That's pound 529 from your cell phone. We are always open. Our call center is always waiting to take your call. 24-7-365. Wow, Dan Morgan. From Morgan and Morgan, America's largest injury law firm. Thanks for coming by the show. Thanks for having me. Visit forthepeople.com for an office near you. Access to affordable credit helps me pay my employees, but I don't really need it.

Infliction is killing me. What do cares? Big retailers and making record profits. That's why we support the Durban Marshall credit card bill. See, things in credit unions help small businesses make pay roll. This bill would cut the vital resources they need. While increasing Megastore profits. They deserve it. Don't they? Tell Congress stop the Durban Marshall money grab for corporate megastores. Paid for it by the Electronic Payments Coalition. Because, honestly, sometimes these family member brothers or whatever don't end up going to some schools because they like them. My brother was not a good situation, low key. The public might not know it. You know what I'm saying? So anyway, I'm just saying if we able to get jet here who might be even better, that just shows how dope the program. And that's without heart line, Nevada, your thoughts. Yeah, I think there would be a great endorsement of kind of for life after heart line that you could land, you know, a receiver of this, of this category. But, you know, if you're jet Harrison, you'd have, I mean,

Marvin would have had to have had a really bad experience. So I say for you not to want to come here, you know what I'm saying? I mean, because all these, these days are not stupid. They're looking at and kind of going, okay, Jackson Smith and Jigba, Garrett Wilson, Crystal Lobby, Marvin Harrison, Noah Brown. I mean, just go on and on and on and on down the list. And you got the best one of literally the best one of the bunch in J.J. Smith is the next one. So I, I don't, I mean, you never like to say that anything's immortal lock when it comes to recruiting because there's a lot of elements in there. But why on earth would you gamble with your future? Because Camino has to, it's a sure thing. You know, barn injury, you're going to have a great career. You're going to go on to NFL riches. And that's what these guys want to do. You go anywhere else and it's, I'm not saying there's no chance. I mean, that would be ridiculous. But it's less of a, there's a greater chance that it doesn't turn out the way that you want it to be. And you know, Marvin Harrison senior was obviously a very cerebral guy.

Hall of Famer, you know, Martin, you know, Marvin Harrison, you know, Jr. Certainly has, has out surpassed his high school recruiting ranking in terms of where he was drafted, the NFL draft and the kind of situation he's put himself in there. So I would, you know, it'd be shocking for Jeff to go, you're short of, you know, there'd be just one of the things where you just don't want to go into brother's footstep. You just don't want to go the same place your brother. But we're not hearing any of that. And I think that's really the big story. We're not hearing any of the, hey, you know, I just want to go blaze my own trail. Hey, I don't really want to go to Ohio State. Hey, Marvin didn't really have the best, you know, contrary to what you think. He didn't really have a great time at Iowa. We're hearing none of those things. And that, again, you know, that gives me that much more confidence that that Jet Harrison's going to end up as a bucket. Yeah. And so let me ask you, I was going to kind of go into a spill, but I want to tee it up for you. What is the common denominator, Nevada? What is the, and I'm a touch on really quickly in a second,

another receiver we got coming in, who could have left, who could have whatever, but, you know, they seem to be doing things to, to double down on being a buck, I even more. I'll touch on that briefly. What's the common denominator for a Jet Harrison and his family to want to stick and stay even though the all-world, you know, why receiver coach is gone? Well, I mean, to me, it's Ryan Day, you know, I'm saying to me, it's Ryan Day, and, you know, the fact that Ryan Day, you know, if you think about what could screw up a wide receiver, and what could screw up a wide receiver's development, and that is, you know, don't play in a system that throws the ball, or don't play in a system that is really effective at throwing the ball, and it gets the best quarterbacks. And you know that Ryan Day is going to have the best quarterbacks, and that's, you know, I think that's just kind of that extra security blanket that you have there. And, you know, as a wide receiver, that's why, you know, the quarterback position in college football is overpowered,

because when you get the good quarterbacks, well, you get all the other good players, because then everybody else wants to come there, and you most certainly get the best wide receivers, because the best wide receivers want to come where they're going to be throwing the ball to, and, you know, when you've got, you know, the list of quarterbacks that we've had in the recent past, and then a current roster where you've got Julian Sainte, you've got Taving St. Claire, you know, you're getting the ball. It's going to get thrown to you, it's going to get thrown to you often, and Ryan Day is certainly the, he's the common denominator. He's the one thing that's there that's not changed about Ohio State, and another reason why I think Jett Harrison ends up a butt guy. I agree. You said it. I didn't even have to say that, and that was not rehearsed. I knew he was going to say that, because it's the truth. And so, you know, he just, he knows how to, not only that, but the off-the-field stuff. I've heard Marvin Harrison and interviews just praise Ryan Day. Because even Ryan Day and interviews talking about his son,

he wants him to go somewhere where he know he's going to be taken care of on and off-the-field, because that's what he does. And so, I mean, all these relationships and things like that with Ryan Day at the helm, just being a legit, like there's nobody. Nevada, I know your contact, your people, people I know, you know, that no Ryan Day, like really no Ryan Day. Nobody be like, man, he's really a deback behind the scenes. Don't get it twisted. Like, he sucks. We hate him. Nobody. I mean, every now and then there might be a disgruntled parent whose kid didn't play, but like Ryan Day is that dude. He's the common denominator for sure. And so, that's just, I mean, as long as we have him, I think the players and parents know, regardless of who leaves, we're going to replace them with somebody just as good if not better, which is powerful because a lot of schools in Nevada would crumble lose in a heartline. Like, do you think that real quick, and I'm going to pull up a

quick clip of something, but let me ask you, is that an overstatement to you that other schools, most other schools would crumble losing a stud recruiter like heartline? No, I don't think that's, I mean, look, Ohio State was concerned about it. So, so concerned that they gave hotline the offensive coordinator position, even though he wasn't really ready or qualified to do it. But, no, you know, but and again, I want to say this very carefully. That's why I'm enjoying every moment that Ryan Day is here because, look, I'm sure, you know, you can say, hey, the school's bigger than Ryan Day, and of course it is, you know, you've gone from Woody Hayes, you're an in Hooper and Jim Trustle and Urban Meyer. Yeah, you've gone on most of great coaches in Ohio State, but it's not guaranteed that next step is going to be as good, you know what I'm saying? So, like, I want to enjoy every moment that Ryan Day is here because it's just, it's sureity, you know, it's sureity that your offensive scheme is going to be first right. It's sureity that you're going to be able to get great offensive

and defensive coaches to come work for you. It's it's sure that your academics are going to be in order that you're the quality of kids you're you're getting is going to be great that your recruiting is going to be first rate that you're always going to have great quarterbacks. You're always going to have great winters here. You know what I mean, there's just a lot that comes along with Ryan Day and will we survive when he inevitably moves on or whatever that is of course, but I don't want that to be soon because again, Ryan Day represents just a a guarantee of greatness for Ohio State and that you can't really say that about a lot of coaches and college football. Yep, preach, but you know, you'll still have people who want to fire, but it is what it is. That's just pretty much the world we live in, but I'm glad he's here too. This is Jamir Brown. I have on the screen and they're seven on seven. I'm bringing him up because he's another kid. He's in the 2027 class. He's the number one receiver in Ohio top 15 national player five star, a stud stud stud. Very fast. I will call him a friend of the show. He's been interviewed by dev.

I lost count. He's been on the show. Great kid, hard working kid, and an Ohio product. And I mentioned this as far as double. I said earlier doubling down. He moved from a Uber Heights Wayne where Braxton Miller went closer to my neck of the woods here in Columbus, in the Columbus area to a high school called Big Warner. Now, like I said, I said this before. I don't forgive you were on the show about it, but you know, programs have like over the past 20 years or so being in the Columbus area. There are some programs who have went down and some that have went up. Big Warner back. We scrimmaged him in basketball. We scrimmaged them. I can't. My junior year senior year. Anyway, we played at Big Warner and they wasn't like that. Like their program was cool. They were solid, but they weren't like a powerhouse. So I was surprised when I heard he moved to Big Warner. But then some others told me they they've been really good. In recent years and you know, they got a good program of stuff like that. But anyway, the point is

Big Warner is not that far from Columbus. So he was interviewed and asked why he did that. And wanted to main things he said is so he can be closer to a house date. I know there were some who are concerned about visits he might take in heartline leaving. But this kid Nevada doesn't seem to be wavering at all. In fact, he's putting his money where his mouth is by moving closer to a program so he can be closer to a house date. And I mean, that's his words. So I mean, this is another five star stud that could have left and demanded top dollar with heartline leaving. And so this is just more proof. Now listen, obviously there's time between now and signing day. But the evidence says he's not leaving barring something crazy happening. And so then you got jet in his family who's a stud and we're in we're still in on, you know, the milestones and the other guys. So I'm saying I have to say I'm laying it all out for y'all. It's not over till it's over.

But the evidence right now shows that we're still pointing in that trajectory. We ain't stopping this while receiver. We're crewing trained about it. Well, yeah, no, it's, you know, I think for a Ohio State, it's, you know, it's, you've got such a great reputation and, you know, it's, it's a great place for anybody to develop. And I think Ohio State isn't, you know, you're not breaking the bank. And I have, but they're not taking a vaccine. You know, they've got their focused kids where they're, they're putting out real money. I mean, JD Smith is making real money that you're dealing with saying that they're going to get real money. I've built, they'll pay guys for production and, you know, getting them in there and they'll develop the heck out of them. But for a kid like Jamira Brown, I always look at, you know, how, how is he reacting with the other recruits? And he's the guy who's one of our lead recruiters. He's the guy that's going to believe recruit, he's one of the guys who lead recruiting on Jet Harrison. So it's like, you know, I look at that and kind of go, well, you know, that's the kind of guy that I want as black guys. And, and it gives you a pretty good indication of where they're, where they're parts at, where they're

heads at in the sole process. But when they're out there trying to sell Ohio State to other people as well, to me, that really speaks volumes. Yeah, man, I'm getting excited thinking about these future kids because I told you, I'm a huge David Gabriel, Georgia's. I've got Dan Morgan here on the pod. Say hi, Dan. Hey, how's it going today? It's going good, man. Tell us who you are and what you do. I'm Dan Morgan. I'm an attorney and a managing partner at Morgan Morgan, which is America's largest injury law firm. That's pretty awesome. Um, I think I saw billboard of years recently that said, 20 billion one, 20 billion insane number. Yeah, 20 billion recovered. It's actually I think somewhere north probably closer to 22, 23 after this year. And each year we get bigger and batter and our army grows. So the number will hopefully keep getting bigger and bigger as time goes on. Awesome. So how does someone get in contact with Morgan and Morgan? What would I do if I got into an accident? Probably the easiest way is dialing pound law. It's pound 529 from your cell phone.

We are always open. Our call center is always waiting to take your call. 24, 7365. Wow, Dan Morgan. From Morgan and Morgan and America's largest injury law firm. Thanks for coming by the show. Thanks for having me. Visit forthepeople.com for an office near you. Access to affordable credit helps me pay my employees that I don't really need it. Inflation is killing me. But who cares?

Tell Congress stop the Durban Marshall money grab for corporate megastores paid for by the electronic payments coalition like fan like he is a stud and barring something crazy happening he's going to be a book guy. So imagine the speed on the outside with that type of NFL back and just the talent we got coming in is I guess what I'm saying y'all is I always preach this and so does Nevada appreciate what you have like we are we are recession proof as you can get we don't stop we lose I'm telling you there's been fans from other fanbases like man heartline going you're done for real you think so yeah I don't think so and that's no knock on heart line

it's just we we just we're not we're going to do whatever we need to do to stay on top you know I'm saying a higher you know whatever and so just depreciate it I'm telling the Nevada like we I thought about a Jay Z song it's the it's called the medley intro and before he starts rapping and he's like mocking people asking like well he ever fall off and he comes in like no and then he starts spitting he starts rapping his verse for those who know it's it's classic you know I'm talking about that's Ohio State it's like our haters is like are they ever goal fall off and we'd like no and then we hit you with the bars I mean that's just how it is and so appreciate what we got y'all in this football program because we are on the heck of a run as far as consistency and just being elite and obviously we all want more natties but three in my lifetime is more

than a lot of programs can say Nevada yeah and and yeah you sent me into David Gabriel George like that's a guy I said this before but I bears repeating I know I say get excited about every recruit and then I don't get sad about any way but if we don't get him I'm going to be sad to be true yeah he's really really good he's really really good if he could go somewhere else will we survive yes we'll football continue to be played most certainly but we've led this recruitment for a long time we've you know we've pulled out every stop on this one I feel it's like right where we need it to be and I really feel like we're getting him and when we do I'm gonna be I'm excited about every group but I'm gonna be really excited about that one because I agree with you I agree I think that that kid is a big time player and you know I I feel like you need that you need that at the running back position to really be you know like last year if I had a criticism

of our of our team last year and you know it's and again I know I'm spoiled from having Trey Henderson and Quintrat Jackins year before but I didn't feel like we were really explosive at the running back spot last year and in Bo Jackson's good and in a thousand and I know all those things but was he was he great and we expect kind of great at Ohio State you know those guys that every time they touch the ball you feel like they could take it to the house you know and that's how I felt Trey Henderson every time Trey Henderson touched the ball I'm thinking he could house this you know I'm saying like and if he gets a little cruised he's gone I didn't feel that way last year and I want to feel that way again about the Ohio State running back room and I'm frankly I don't know if I'm going to feel that way about the running back room this year because you know I think Bo Jackson Bo will most certainly be better Isaiah Wesley better Jacob sent isn't really that kind of a back and maybe Legend Bay's that guy you know maybe Legend Bay is that guy that can kind of make those things happen but but David Gabriel George is most

certainly that guy and and I want to see him in Starlight Gray you brought up some things that that trigger some thoughts I had a discussion with some buddies of mine about this and we'll get to Super Chat we're going to have a a harder stop tonight in a little bit and we'll get to Super Chat's but Nevada you brought up some things that we discussed so here's the deal I think one thing that contributed to the lack of explosion in the running back room is James peoples did not step up and do what we all hoped he would do right running back out of Texas we saw really good speed on film and and planning against good competition I mean physically he looked apart you know early on you know in the spring I mean he was doing well he was looking like he was going to be that guy and it just never came to pass he made some progression throughout the year you know he leaped over a guy and he started to wake up a little bit and be solid but he wasn't we need it more than

solid from him James peoples was supposed to be the guy and then you know the other guys chip in so with that said Bo Jackson the true freshman had to be the guy and of course CJ Donaldson was a short yardage guy whatever past pro guy but Bo Jackson was our our best to back and he wasn't quite ready he was coming off the injury you know like all of that takes time to get your legs under you now with that said Nevada here's the other thing me and my guys were discussing and I'm not saying he's equal to this person but I saw similarities and what was lacking JK Dobbins his freshman year he had a great freshman year remember he was called jump cut Dobbins I mean he was but his freshman year he was getting walked from behind at times but guess what he improved on that he got faster and he wasn't getting walked no more I mean when he was gone he was gone I'm pictured the Clemson game and that in that inside zone play nobody was catching him but his

freshman year he probably would have got walked maybe same thing with Bo Jackson Bo Jackson to me is a really good back he has good vision he leans forward he gets north very quick but he got walked okay he needs to to get what Mickey I'm sure he is this injury's not helping but I think just like JK Dobbins he can improve on that Nevada to where he is a breakaway back because he was almost there I mean like who was it against I forget the team but it was a 60 yard play all the way down to like the three yard line and he showed it was up the middle it was he squeezed through the hole and exploded down feel I'm like oh but he got walked so if he can do like JK and just get to that another level of speed and endurance and ability physically to go all the way I think he can be that guy because we see that he has it but he was only a freshman and every

freshman is not going to be trade Henderson with the speed but I have hopes for Bo Jackson to take it to another level of like where he can be really really really good for isn't about any thoughts on that well you also remember that Bo was coming off a pretty significant injury from his senior year you know I'm saying and so you know one year removed from that you're not going to be as good as you're going to be two years from it from that so yeah I to me that's the big thing so would have loved to see him in the spring see how bouncing spring is but again you're nursing a little bit of an injury unrelated to the high school one should be back you know full going the summer and then the fall but no I think it's a great point I think he absolutely got I mean he was that way in high school in high school man he was crazy you know I mean he was just running away from guy so I absolutely believe he can do it now I think I thought he was really close last year and if you pick some even just a little bit of speed a little bit of explosiveness you know a you know a little bit back you know running with a little bit sure you know again last year there's no way he's running with the same reckless abandoned coming off an injury then he will be this year you know his confidence

is going to be at a completely different spot so no I think it's a it's a good thing that we certainly could see more out of them and and hopefully we will yeah and then one other thing before we move to superchats the wild card within Nevada's explanation and criteria is turbo rogers turbo rogers has plenty of speed is he ready does he have the vision can he protect the ball you know is he able to be relied upon because we haven't really seen turbo play in a game we just know he was highly rated snatched him from Alabama he's a twitchy fast you know fast guy but he has the ability to take it to the house but is he able to do that within the confines of being a running back you know I'm saying because it's not like you just handed ball and it's just a straight line with nobody to tackle you you you said I'm saying Nevada so what about turbo real quick no I look I you know turbo's one of those guys that it's hard to get too excited about him because we just haven't been able to see him on the field but you know the players know

where the players are you know they say he's twitchy they say he's fast you know certainly he's high school film you know it's reflective of that as well so he's okay he's absolutely a wild credit and again it as I mentioned before legend bay another wild card of his thing you know what kind of guy like that do with the ball in his hands but yeah certainly you know turbo would be one that would that would be a nice surprise into 2026 if we get some amount of turbo rogers oh man it I mean to me I feel like he needs to I mean like listen you didn't play last year you've been you're the most experienced Ohio State running back on the roster as far as that's available right now like you know because you know Isaiah and and Bowie are not are not practicing so you got to step up and lead and do your thing and and carve out some playing time I mean come on man let's do it I want to see it all right real quick keep Gordon happy birthday said he's checking in live from Daytona Beach oh that sounds nice Nevada it was 85 here in Columbia yesterday kids out riding their bikes we're throwing the football around I might even have white white

the little bit of sweat and then it was 30 this morning here in Columbia that's crazy bro and it's supposed to be like 40s 50s and then go back up listen this is just Ohio weather this is what it is I've got Dan Morgan here on the pod say hi Dan hey how's it going today it's going good man tell us who you are and what you do I'm Dan Morgan I'm an attorney and a managing partner at Morgan Morgan which is America's largest injury law firm that's pretty awesome um I think I saw billboard of yours recently it said that 20 billion one 20 billion insane number yeah 20 billion recovered it's actually I think somewhere north probably closer to 22 23 after this year and each year we get bigger and better and our army grows so the number will hopefully keep getting bigger and bigger as time goes on awesome so how does someone get in contact with Morgan and Morgan what what would I do if I got into an accident probably the easiest way is dialing pound law it's pound
