COLUMBUS, Ohio — Ohio State football fans experienced déjà vu as they watched another highly-rated receiver glide across the field for a 49-yard touchdown during Saturday’s spring game.

He pairs his height with elite speed, strength and quickness. Reese will see his fair share of snaps on the Buckeyes defense in 2025. However, on Tuesday, head coach Ryan Day brought a dark horse name to the surface. That player is Payton Pierce.

The Buckeyes will take the field in a traditional spring game this Saturday. Hear from the team's coaches about where things stand.
