Ohio State's offensive line is the most debated unit of the 2026 Buckeyes roster, and Ryan Day made a bold decision: no high-priced transfer portal starters.

In this episode of The Daily Buckeye Blitz, we break down the full Ohio State offensive line roster reset, including snap-count context, returning starters, depth chart battles, and why the Buckeyes chose development and continuity over portal spending after last season's results.

We cover:

• Why Ohio State passed on elite transfer portal offensive linemen
• Ryan Day's comments on experience, continuity, and OL development
• What went wrong late in 2025 and why the staff believes it's fixable
• The right guard battle and why it's the biggest concern
• Projected 2026 offensive line depth chart and flexibility
• How this decision impacts Arthur Smith's offense and the run game

Ohio State returns four veteran starters, including Carson Hinzman and Luke Montgomery, and is betting that another offseason together will fix the breakdowns that showed up in the Big Ten Championship and College Football Playoff.

Is this smart roster management — or a gamble that could define the season?
