How NCAA’s ‘Five Years to Play Five’ Rule Could Reshape Ohio State’s 2027 Roster | Buckeye Weekly Tony Gerdeman and Tom Orr discuss a pending NCAA rule that would allow players five years of eligibility to play five seasons and how it could impact Ohio State’s 2027 roster by potentially keeping 2026 true seniors for an extra year. They run through possible returnees—WRs Devin McCuin and Brandon Innis, TE Mason Williams, LG Luke Montgomery, DT James Smith, LB Christian Allegro, and CB Jermaine Matthews—debating draft projections, NIL tradeoffs, positional needs, and whether retaining veterans could replace portal additions. They highlight the value of continuity and frame the change as a way to re-sign in-house “free agents” before turning to the portal. 00:00 Welcome Back Banter 01:22 NCAA Five Years Rule 02:43 Wide Receiver Decisions 06:43 Tight End Return Case 09:22 Luke Montgomery O Line 13:18 James Smith D Line 16:18 Christian Alliegro Outlook 20:28 Jermaine Mathews Debate 23:17 Portal Style Roster Building 26:12 Wrap Up And Subscribe
