Is Ja'Kobi Jackson being overlooked in Ohio State's crowded running back room?Tony Gerdeman and Tom Orr continue their running back expectations series by examining one of the Buckeyes' most difficult players to project for the 2026 season.Jackson appeared in only four games last year before an injury ended his season, but his previous work at Florida included productive performances against Georgia, Texas, and LSU.

They also explore his potential as a third-down back, pass protector, and receiving threat out of the backfield.Could Jackson become this year's version of C.J. Donaldson? Might he finish third in snaps but fourth in carries? And is a 400-yard rushing season a fair expectation—or evidence that he is being overlooked?Let us know your Ja'Kobi Jackson projections in the comments.0:00 — Projecting Ja'Kobi Jackson's 2026 season0:36 — Why Jackson is so difficult to evaluate2:17 — His productive stretch against top SEC defenses4:43 — Could Jackson play more than his rushing totals suggest?7:59 — His potential impact in the passing game10:15 — Are Ohio State's rushing projections getting too high?Subscribe to the Buckeye Weekly Podcast for daily Ohio State football news, analysis, predictions, and discussion.Join the conversation at BuckeyeInsiders.com.

Before Ohio State takes the field against Michigan once again, we're looking back at last year's victory to understand exactly why the Buckeyes were successful. In this episode of the Daily Buckeye Blitz, we rewatch Ohio State's dominant performance and break down the five biggest reasons the Buckeyes beat Michigan. From controlling the line of scrimmage and shutting down Bryce Underwood to Matt Patricia's defensive adjustments, Julian Sayin's efficient play, and a physical running game led by Bo Jackson, we examine the blueprint that still applies heading into the 2026 season. We'll also revisit standout individual performances from Kaden McDonald, Caleb Downs, Kenyatta Jackson, Kaden Curry, Sunny Styles, Arvell Reese, Jeremiah Smith, Max Klare, and more while highlighting the biggest lessons Ohio State can carry into this year's edition of The Game. If the Buckeyes follow the same formula, Buckeye Nation has plenty of reasons to be optimistic.
