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

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.

On this episode of The Tim May Show featuring Clay Hall, Tim and Clay break down Ryan Day’s latest spring message for the 2026 Ohio State Buckeyes: “Make ’em miss or run ’em over.” It started as a running back credo, but it may define the entire identity of this Buckeye team as Ohio State gears up for another run at a national championship.

The guys dive into what that mentality says about the toughness, attitude, and offensive identity Day wants from his team this season. They also discuss why special teams and kicking consistency could become just as important to Ohio State’s title hopes.

Plus, Tim and Clay look at the bigger picture in the Big Ten, including the possibility of the conference sweeping the three biggest national championships in college sports — football, men’s basketball, and women’s basketball — if Michigan takes care of UConn.

New OSU receivers coach Cortez Hankton on what drew him to the job, his responsibility in coaching a talent such as Smith, and the pride he felt in seeing his long-time student Kyle Parker, who transferred from LSU, have his black stripe removed last weekend, meaning he's now a bona fide Buckeye.
