Ohio State's running back room may quietly be one of the deepest position groups in college football heading into 2026.

In today's Daily Buckeye Blitz, we break down everything we learned from spring football about the Buckeyes running backs:

• Why Bo Jackson remains the clear RB1
• Isaiah West's growing role
• The rising hype surrounding freshman Legend Bey
• Ja'Kobi Jackson's underrated importance
• Why Carlos Locklyn suddenly has TOO MANY weapons
• Injury concerns at the position
• The biggest unanswered question entering summer workouts

Even with injuries limiting the room all spring, Ohio State still came away feeling stronger at running back than it did entering camp.

If Legend Bey becomes what coaches think he can become… watch out.
