One offensive player and one defensive player who could take OSU from good to great in 2026.
The amount of time that Iman Oates has been held in limbo is a complete joke.

With it still being up in the air this close to the beginning of the season I would have to assume he gets the extra year no? Telling a guy he can’t play with barely over a month before the initial depth chart is released has to open up another can of worms the NCAA probably doesn’t want to deal with.
“Work past these lineman with ease.” After watching our O-Line the past couple years, I have to wonder how much of the above statement is about how good the player is vs. how bad our O-line has been.
Why aren’t they suing for Oates like the b.ball player who recently successfully sued to gain another season?!
It’s NOT the same O-line though. 
What is there, one guy left?
True, but it is absolutely an unknown offensive line, and unfortunately, I’ve seen firsthand how bad an O-line at OSU can be.
Probably because he hasn’t been denied yet I don’t think. If he is I’d imagine the lawsuit is filed immediately.
I think Johnson is referring to this past spring, meaning Brigsby was working past our current O Line. Not a comforting thought….
