Ohio State is still in shock after its big loss to Michigan this past weekend, but to beat its rivals down the road, it will need to acquire even more talent.
December 4th kicks off National Signing Day when players in the 2025 class can start to sign with teams. On Wednesday morning, the Buckeyes flipped one of the best running backs in the country.
Ohio State Flips Alabama Running Back
According to Hayes Fawcett from On3.com, “Four-Star RB Anthony “Turbo” Rogers has Committed to Ohio State; the 5’9 190 RB from Montgomery, AL, was previously Committed to Alabama.”

Flipping a running back who was committed to Alabama is major for the Buckeyes, and taking him away from his home state is even more impressive.
247sports.com has Rogers as the 11th-best running back in the 2025 class, and as of right now, Ohio State has the 5th running back, Bo Jackson, and 25th, Isaiah West, in 2025.
Ohio State will be building its running game back up, which will be exciting to see over the next few years. We will have to see who the head coach is going to be if Ryan Day gets fired or leaves on his own after losing to Michigan for a fourth straight season.
