Episode Description from the Publisher

Ohio State Primetime 85 – “SCARY” Buckeye Offense & Wyatt Smith Commitment Host: Garrison Gaddy Platform: OhioStateVOCFB (YouTube/X/Facebook) Length: ~1 hour 21 minutes (excerpted in transcript) Key Highlights Show Format Update Permanently moving from Mondays to Tuesdays. Call-in show shifts to Thursdays (host coaches Friday nights). Encourages likes, shares, subs, and merch at vocfb.com/shop. DG (Dylan Every Day) Shoutout Praised for being ahead of the curve on Ohio State facility upgrades. Confirmed new top-of-the-line turf for 2026 season (August install). Hopes for clean, early-2000s style design + full turfing of sidelines. Also credited with pushing video board, sleeve uniforms, etc. Garrison notes fan pressure (including “Lunatic French”) helped drive changes. Wyatt Smith Commitment (Class of 2027) Defensive End, son of NFL veteran Justin “The Cowboy” Smith. Rankings: Top ~70-100 overall, #11 Edge, #9 in Florida (St. Thomas Aquinas, Fort Lauderdale). Size: 6'6", 250 lbs. Strengths highlighted: Excellent hip flexibility/sink for his height. Strong change of direction, closing speed, long arms. Violent hands, “eyes don’t lie” (tracks the ball). Dominant vs. elite HS competition (Modern Day, American Heritage, Chaminade-Madonna). Tight battle vs. Missouri (dad’s school) & Indiana; committed before final Missouri visit. Pairs with DJ Jacobs — potentially elite edge duo for Larry Johnson. Other Recruiting Notes May 29 official visits: Nate Campbell (DT, strong lean) & Mason Osby (TE, Kansas lean but multiple visits to OSU). Optimistic 2027 class trajectory (currently ~top 5-7 range). “Scary” Buckeye Offense (Steve Helwig/Isaiah West) Discussion of new offensive schemes under new staff. Running back Isaiah West comments suggest the offense could be explosive and difficult to defend in 2025-26. Ohio State vs. Texas 2025 Breakdown Big neutral-site opener. Texas Strengths: Elite secondary (possibly best in country), talented DL/edge (Colin Simmons, Lance Jackson), returning QB Arch Manning. OSU Strategy: Test Texas run defense early (undersized LBs). Smart passing vs. elite DBs — take what’s given. Dictate tempo on defense, pressure Arch. Betting notes: OSU ~1.5 pt underdog (essentially a pick’em); over 47.5 likely. Monologue: NAACP “Out of Bounds” Campaign Strong opinion segment on NAACP urging top Black football/basketball players to withhold commitments or transfer to HBCUs over gerrymandering/voting issues in certain Southern states. Garrison’s stance: Keep politics out of college athletics; campaign won’t work due to massive resource/NIL/facilities gap between Power programs and HBCUs. Emphasizes athletes should choose what’s best for them, not political pressure. Overall Tone Positive and energetic on Ohio State recruiting/facilities/recruiting momentum. Detailed film-style breakdown of Wyatt Smith and Texas preview. Ends with a passionate off-field monologue. Signature Close: “O-H-I-O!” Great episode for Buckeye fans wanting recruiting intel, facility updates, and early 2026 opponent scouting. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
