Episode Description

The 2025 Ohio State football team featured two of the greatest linebackers in Buckeye football history, as both Arvell Reese and Sonny Styles positioned themselves to be first-round picks in the 2026 NFL Draft.

Now, James Laurinaitis must replace both of those talented stars, and he has a lot of good options to choose from. 

In this episode of the Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning podcast, Tony Gerdeman of BuckeyeHuddle.com joins host Tom Orr to discuss who's next at linebacker for Ohio State, including last season's third linebacker, Payton Pierce, talented Wisconsin transfer Christian Allegro, second-year standouts Riley Pettijohn and TJ Alford, and potentially even Alabama transfer Qua Russaw.
