Ohio State football news: The outrageous NIL number for David Gabriel Georges could force Bo Jackson into the transfer portal. Running backs, David Gabriel Georges, Bo Jackson, and the risky running back math behind Ohio State football’s biggest roster decision.
In this episode of the Buckeye Huddle Podcast, JR breaks down the real danger in chasing David Gabriel Georges at the reported $6 million multi-year price tag. Bo Jackson’s camp was aggressive about money last cycle — those rumors were true and he got paid. Now the timeline creates a serious problem: Bo will be a junior in 2027, the exact year DGG would arrive.
JR explains why every team (including Georgia with Nate Frazier) is struggling to pay running backs right now, why losing a proven starter like Bo would be self-inflicted damage, and why Ohio State should never put itself in a position where it has to choose between elite high school talent and the guy who already delivered.
