The Ohio State Buckeyes arguably have the most talented roster in the country for 2024, and former Ohio State coach Urban Meyer is well aware of that.
However, Meyer went one step further.
In a recent episode of the show “The Triple Option,” Meyer said the Buckeyes team is one of the best he has seen in years.
“I’ve talked to Jim Tressel about it. I’ve read about them. I’ve watched them,” Meyer said. “This might be the best roster in college football in the last decade. As far as NFL talent and depth. They have the second-string running back, whoever it is, probably a first-round draft pick. I mean, they’re loaded.”
The running back Meyer was referring to is TreVeyon Henderson, who will now be Ohio State’s No. 2 running back behind Quinshon Judkins, who transferred from Ole Miss.
Meyer himself coached some pretty strong teams in Columbus and led the Buckeyes to the national championship in the 2014–15 season.
This was the last time Ohio State won the title.
Meyer added that because of the Buckeyes’ relaxed schedule in the first month of the season, he doesn’t expect the starters to play too much at the beginning.
Of course, that will all change in October when Ohio State enters the core of its schedule, playing three ranked teams in four weeks between October 5 and November 2.
We will see if the Buckeyes can live up to their enormous expectations this year.
