Ohio State Football Insider: 3 Things We Just Learned About The Defense

The Ohio State football team just wrapped up its 9th practice of the 2026 spring football schedule, and some big things are happening on the defensive side of the ball. 

Monday, following practice, OSU head coach Ryan Day met with the media to discuss some of his biggest takeaways from spring ball, including:

• How sophomore linebacker TJ Alford has forced his way into the lineup
• What they've seen from transfer safeties Earl Little and Terry Moore
• What else Alabama DT transfer James Smith still needs to show this spring.

Tony Gerdeman of BuckeyeHuddle.com joins host Tom Orr to discuss that and more on this episode of the Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning podcast.
