Scarlet Sunrise: Former Buckeyes guard Jonah Jackson gets Pro Bowl nod

Good morning, Ohio State fans, and welcome to the Scarlet Sunrise.

Former Buckeyes guard Jonah Jackson gets Pro Bowl nod

Yet another former Ohio State star is heading to the Pro Bowl.

Former Buckeyes offensive guard Jonah Jackson was named to the Pro Bowl this week. Jackson replaces Washington Football Team guard Brandon Scherff on the Pro Bowl roster, after Scherff opted out due to personal reasons.

Jackson joins Nick Bosa, Marshon Lattimore, Cameron Heyward, Joey Bosa and Denzel Ward as former Buckeyes to be on the Pro Bowl roster this season, and he’s the only Lions player named to the Pro Bowl.

After graduating from Rutgers, Jackson transferred to Ohio State and started on the Buckeyes offensive line for the 2019 Big Ten title team — and trip to the College Football Playoff.

Now in just his second NFL season, he is among the Buckeyes heading to the Pro Bowl.

Buckeyes cap off top-5 recruiting class with second signing period

Ohio State capped off its 2022 recruiting efforts on Wednesday, signing two more players with superstar potential.

Offensive lineman Carson Hinzman and defensive end Omari Abor both signed their letters of intent to the Buckeyes during the first day of the signing period.

It was a much more quiet inside the Woody Hayes Athletic Center for this signing period than the last, when Ohio State signed 19 players last month. But after getting Hinzman and Abor in the fold, the class is all but wrapped up with a top-five grade nationally, according to every major recruiting service.

Hinzman gives the Buckeyes an impressive offensive line class, especially given the coaching change for that position group after the season ended. And Abor, along with Caden Curry, Kenyatta Jackson and Hero Kanu, shows that Larry Johnson is still a force on the recruiting trail.

ICYMI: Lettermen Live hosted by Roosters

The storylines never stop for the Buckeyes. And Lettermen Live hosted by Roosters is back for a jam-packed edition of the show to break down every angle.

Lettermen Row senior writer Austin Ward hosts a group that features former Buckeyes linebacker Bobby Carpenter, former Ohio State quarterback Justin Zwick, Nicole Cox from Roosters and Lettermen Row director of recruiting Jeremy Birmingham.

The Cincinnati Bengals are Super Bowl bound for the first time since 1988, and it’s on the back of former Ohio State stars at every level of their defense — and some on the offensive side of the ball.

That got the crew thinking: Who are their favorite former Buckeyes players currently making noise at the next level? They break it all down.

The panel also makes sure to dive into the coaching changes made for the Buckeyes, how the new assistants can win their introductory press conferences and which ones can make the biggest instant impact on the staff.
