After the long-awaited return of EA Sports' College Football in July 2024, the series is set to return again in 2026 for the next edition of the game. Per a report from On3 on Wednesday, two Buckeyes — and coach Ryan Day — will be involved with the cover of the game.

All but five of the 26 high school recruits who signed with the Buckeyes in December enrolled in school for the spring semester, allowing them to participate in 15 practices that will be held through the middle of next month. Here are five to keep an eye on during the coming weeks.

Ohio State will have plenty of new faces as spring practices approaches as the Buckeyes turn the page from their national championship season.

One can argue that no Ohio State position group is dealing with more “new” in 2025 than its offensive line. OSU must find a way to replace four Day 1 starters from its 2024 lineup and the man in charge of doing that is new offensive line coach Tyler Bowen.

This spring is an important one as the Buckeyes have to replace starters Lathan Ransom, Denzel Burke and Jordan Hancock.
