## Resource

With every football season comes renewed opportunity. Just ask Jordan Hall. The Class of 2027 Princeton (Ohio) running back committed to Miami (Ohio) dominated a season-opening win over Cincinnati Moeller. Penn State offered the following day. Ohio State invited him to visit for the season opener against Ball State. If only we had video from that Princeton-Moeller tussle to see what all the fuss is about. Oh, wait ... we do. In fact, both Garrick Hodge and Mark Porter were there. Stick around until the end of the show for the festivities.  So we have that for you today. We also get into Garrick's 'State of Ohio State Recruiting' series that will make you a far more informed 'Nutter. Plus, our guys let you know which games and prospects they will see this weekend.  Spend 5ish with us this a.m., 'Nutters! (0:58) INTRO (2:40) Tranard Roberts or Jordan Hall?
