    The Ohio State Buckeyes are set to have a massive season in 2024. They’ve brought back perhaps the most NFL Draft-ready talent and even lured a handful of stud transfers out of the Deep South. As we approach Week 0 and eventually Week 1, the Buckeyes have been racking up preseason honors.

    It’s not uncommon to have a handful of Ohio State players land on various watchlists and honors but this year, it’s been quite a lot. This preseason, 18 Buckeyes landed on at least one preseason honor list with another earning both a captainship and the prestigious Block O jersey for the 2024 season.

    With a lineup as talented as Ohio State’s it’s certainly “Natty or Bust,” as a handful of players put it. Ohio State is expected to contend for not just the Big Ten but the College Football Playoff as a whole. This unit is loaded.
