Bo Jackson has become Ohio State’s headline back for 2026
In the 2025 season, Ohio State’s Bo Jackson rushed for 1,090 yards and 6 touchdowns as a true freshman, then entered 2026 as the Buckeyes’ clear RB1 after a breakout year and a strong preseason buzz. He stands out for his burst, power, and improving ability to make defenders miss at the second level—an area Ryan Day said he emphasized this offseason. The only real flag is health: Jackson had shoulder surgery in the offseason and missed spring, but reports say he’s back on track and still looks like a feature-back fit.
