Ohio State Football Insider: Young Buckeyes Breaking Out In Fall Camp · Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Welcome to Buckeyes tomorrow morning for Tuesday, August twenty fifth.
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: I' your host, tom or the ball state game in
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: eleven days, the gaming it's Michigan in ninety five days.
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: We're sponsored Toadia by our friends at Jeff Ruby's of Columbus,
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: probably offering nationally acclaimed USDA Prime Stakes, seafood and sushi,
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: and peckable service, live entertainment, and an attention to detail
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: that is simply unmatched. Just go to Jeffrubery dot com
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: slash Columbus to check out the menu and make a
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: reservation today. All right, so we just got a chance
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: to talk to Ryan Day. I'm joined by Juck Maletti
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: of Buckeye Insiders dot com and Juck I wanted to
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: talk to you about some of the young players who
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: certainly seem like they have made a big leap during
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: fall camp. And a lot of these names are names
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: you've probably heard us talking about this month, which you know.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: That's good.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: That means we know what we're talking about, which is
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: always a positive. But we'll start at the most exciting
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: or most examined position on the field, a quarterback position.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: Everyone kind of knows what they've got with Julian saying,
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: what's really interesting is that it seems like they're sort
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: of figuring out what they've got with true freshman Luke Fahey.
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: It's extremely interesting. And you know, we talked to Ryan
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: Day last Saturday and he said that Luke Fayhee is
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: pushing tav in Saint Clair and he said, he really is.
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: You know, he really wanted to enforce that. And now
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: we roll into today and I think the speculation was
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: that for most of us that he would probably name
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: the backup quarterback. That has not happened. The backup quarterback
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: position has not been named. They will continue to battle
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: for that backup spot rolling into through this week here,
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: and when we talk about Luke Fayhee, a five foot
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: eleven freshman from Mission Viejo in California who ran an
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: accelerated offense, one of these guys like Julian Sayan, who
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: had a quarterback coach at a young age, who just
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: comes in more prepared, and Day praised his awareness, situational
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: awareness down in distance clock, that he comes in early,
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: that he stays late, and apparently he's just been doing
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: fantastic and that's great. He was also, of course asked
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: about Tavy and Saint Clair. Is he doing anything wrong?
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: And the answerest now is just experience. And I still
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: think Tavian ceiling as high as it ever was. He
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: just came in at a different level. And you know,
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: we'll see what happens this year. But it is very
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: interesting that Faye's doing so.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: Well and promising.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and you know, when he talked about the offensive line,
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: everything you said about the offensive line was we all
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: know who the starting offensive lines can be, but we're
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: gonna you know, we're not gonna announce it yet. The
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: quarterback situation was really interesting because he talked about giving
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: both Luke Fahie and tav and Saint Clair reps are
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: the ones that to me, you're not just throwing reps
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: around at this time of year. This is that's like
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: the most valuable asset you have is practice reps and
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: the ability to then watch film off of those and
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: learn from those and all that kind of stuff.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: You're not throwing that around.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: If this is well, we're gonna just let everyone feel
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: like they're still a part of the battle like that.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: That to me was kind of telling that this is
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: really potentially a really interesting positional battle. Another interesting positional
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: battle is at wide receiver, where you know they've got
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: Jeremia Smith, they've got Brandon Ennis. Feels like Devin McEwan
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: has certainly earned a spot in that starting rotation or
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: you know that starting lineup of the top three. Kyle
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: Parker has not played yet. So then he did say
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: they're going to be looking at a rotation of maybe
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: six or so guys. And so the four guys that
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: that leaves in terms of battling out for that spot,
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: Des Jones, who we know had a good camp, Philip
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: Bell who's had a good camp, and Brock Boyd and
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: Chris Henry, the two true freshmen that we've been talking
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: about since the spring. All four of those guys sound
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: like they've made a real move this fall for sure.
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: And Tony asked him, you know, you know we're looking
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: at six and they said, yeah, we're looking at six.
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: And Tony said, so the veterans, meaning that the four
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: that you just named, and then Brock Boyd and Chris
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: Henry Jr. Ryan Day said yes, but then he also
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: did bring up my name. Philip Bell and Des Jones
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: both play the slot, both who have looked really good
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: this camp. Matter of fact, Phil Bell, we were talking
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: about last year at this time, about just you know,
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: a guy who was just making play after play after play.
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: It hasn't really gotten a shot at Ohio State yet,
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: but he's continued to do well. And I think a
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: lot of people will be surprised about Dez who you know,
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: there's been not much mention of him coming into this year,
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: but he's had a great camp and to get that
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: shout out from coach Day and you know, he did say,
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: you know, these guys are gonna earn some playing time
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: this year. So we're now talking eight deep and we
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: haven't even talked about Chreck Quaidon Gilford, the five star
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: freshman who was ranked higher at Rivals than Chris Enry Jr.
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: The wide receiver room depth is unbelievable. Ryan Day said,
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: better than last year, and I think that's pretty easy
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: to see.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they don't necessarily have a Carnel Tait, but you know,
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: positions three, four, five, six, it feels like you would
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: take a lot of the twenty twenty six guys in
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: those positions as compared to the guys who were there
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: in twenty twenty five. Other side of the ball, another
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: guy who he mentioned by name. That was kind of
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: an okay, Like if you get asked about a guy
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: and the coach talks about the guy, that doesn't tell
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: me that much. When Ryan Day gets asked about the
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: defensive tackle rotation on the whole and mentions all the
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: names you're sort of expecting him to mention and also
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: says Tomorrow.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: Simeon's name, I go, okay, I'm listening.
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: Certainly not surprising the Buck Eye insiders, Tony and I
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: have been telling everybody since the since the spring, that
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: this was the guy that stood out to us, you know,
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: not that Emmanuel Ruffiner Jamiir Perez didn't also look very good,
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: but it was Damori Simeon who was making the plays.
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: And Damari Simeon the first one out of Coach Day's
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: mouth when we talk about these young guys. He didn't
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: mention any other of the young guys with them, so
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: very exciting stuff. And I noticed from the spring to
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: the fall what mc muratty did with Damari Simeon's body,
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: and obviously some hard work by Mick, but Damari, who
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: was a little undersized compared to the other two, certainly heightwise,
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: now looks like a you know, built like a sought
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: off sowt off dude, and that is some big news.
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: And Damori certainly sounds like he's going to get some
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: play this year, so that's awesome.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: So from Damari Simeon to Simeon Cold this could be
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: one of those old the wheel of fortune before and
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: after tomorrow. Simmyon Caldwell, simmyon Caldwell, Jay Timmins two more
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: names that we've been talking about a bunch on our
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: insiders board, but you heard him come out of Ryan
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: Day's mouth. Those are two true freshmen who sound like,
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: based on what they've done this month, they are going
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: to be playing meaningful reps, not just Week one against
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: ball State, but presumably week two at Texas.
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: Jay Timmins is certainly not going to surprise anyone, as
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: that's been obviously the big time defensive freshman of this
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: season and the guy who's you know, potentially going to
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: earn a starting role when we at least play a lot,
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: and we've all known that for a while. But Simeon
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: Caldwell is one that probably going to surprise some people.
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: Simmy and Caldwell, a you know, top two hundred guy
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: from outside of Jacksonville at the Bulls School, Tim Walton's
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: sister's son, his actual nephew, And you know, that's a
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: guy that came in and a lot of people were thinking,
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: this guy's probably gonna end up just moving to linebacker
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: and we wouldn't see much from him this year. Not
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: the case, Sime and Calwell a really intelligent, smart player
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: and certainly has been making his Hey to get that
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: mentioned from Ryan Day, that was serious, that that's a
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: guy that's gonna play and that that surprised me to
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: hear him say that, to single him out out of
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: that group. You know, Blaine Bradford we've not heard about yet.
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: So yeah, Simmy and call about the first safety that
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: we've really heard Ryan Day talk about playing.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and that may be almost a he's got a
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: role kind of thing where you know, that's probably like
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: in the dime package or like a big nickel kind
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: of thing where he's.
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: Got a little bit more size.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: He might sort of fit in a little bit of
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: a different role because they have plenty of other talent
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: in that safety room.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: You know, he was asked what Terry Moore and Lee.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: Roy Roker, But it feels like SimMan Colewoll might fit
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: a little bit of a different niche than those guys do,
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: which that will, obviously, in addition to being intelligent and
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: athletic and all of the other stuff, will help get
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: you on the field relatively early. So you want to
