Carnell Tate became the surprise first NFL Draft pick from Ohio State when the Jets passed on Arvell Reese, but the Giants did not, and by NFL draft pick 11, which was the Cowboys trading up to wrangle safety Caleb Downs, four Buckeyes had gone, including Sonny Styles to the Commanders. Dillon Davis and Tim chop that up. Plus Ryan Day speaks on the great night for his Buckeyes, but then he talks about the growing reach of the Nina and Ryan Day Foundation, focused on mental health issues and help for young people. The cause is so righteous.

Ohio State expects to see four players taken in the top half of the first round of the 2026 NFL draft, possibly in the top 10. And after LB Arvell Reese, LB Sonny Styles, S Caleb Downs and WR Carnell Tate, DT Kayden McDonald has a chance to be a first-rounder, too.

MMQB Albert Breer joins Tim to talk about all that and who might be next to go from OSU.

Then there is a conversation with former OSU and NFL star center LeCharles Bentley, who was named one of Ohio's finest at the OSU football coaches clinic last week, who talks about several things, including how life changes abruptly for a player once he's in the NFL. Bottom line: It's a business, it's a job now, baby.

Ohio State has been pegged by some oddsmaking services as the favorite to win the 2026 national championship ... on, uh, Jan. 25, 2027. Is that legit? Former OSU All-America and national title-winning/Super Bowl-winning linebacker Matt Wilhelm offers his assessment after studying the Buckeyes through the spring, which for the first time included his son Mason being on that practice and playing field. Plus we hear post spring game from Ryan Day, Julian Sayin and Kenyatta Jackson. Set. Hutt!!

Super Bowl-winning coach Jon Gruden wears his passion for the game like a Technicolor trench coat.

Though he is quite funny at times, he's also serious as an IRS audit in the desire to see football coached and played at a high level.

So we've got stuff from his appearance at the Ohio State football coaches clinic, while Clay and Tim also review the practice they were allowed to watch in Ohio Stadium Friday and preview the Spring Game coming Saturday.

Enjoy.

Interim CBJ coach Rick Bowness held nothing back in his post-game assessment of the Blue Jackets' efforts over the past month, which saw them fall short of making the NHL playoffs, plus leaving a sour taste with their loyal fans with the way they schlepped through the season finale loss to the Capitals. Clay and Tim react to that, and Tim asserts that a little of the Urban Meyer way of doing things would go a long way toward boosting the "culture" in the CBJ locker room. Plus, they talk OSU offensive line things. Game on!!

Caleb Downs is the best player in the draft, according to Tim. Dillon Davis joins, and sorta, kinda agrees.

They talk about the Columbus Blue Jackets (Did we hear Taps on Thursday night), The Masters, and Ohio State spring practice.

Dillon likes the way transfer safety Earl Little Jr. is stepping up. Enjoy!

Ohio State football is reloading in the secondary, and this episode of The Tim May Show featuring Clay Hall dives into two of the biggest names stepping up this spring: Earl Little Jr. and Devin Sanchez.

With Caleb Downs and Davison Igbinosun off to the NFL, the Buckeyes had major holes to address in the defensive backfield. So far, Earl Little Jr. has made a strong impression after transferring in, quickly emerging as a leader in the Ohio State secondary.

At the same time, former 5-star corner Devin Sanchez looks ready to make a serious push for a starting role after flashes of talent during his freshman season.

Clay Hall and Tim May break down what Ohio State is getting from both players, what it means for the Buckeyes' defense in 2026, and why this secondary could still be one of the strengths of the team despite key NFL departures.

If you’re an Ohio State Buckeyes fan, this is a must-watch spring football episode.
