  "account": "After Ohio State's first 2026 practice, head coach Ryan Day highlighted the offensive line as a key concern for his eighth season. The coach expressed his interest in seeing how the offensive line settles in, as well as the tight end room, backup quarterback and receiver slots, the running back position, and the defensive secondary. Four starters will return on the offensive line, but new starters might emerge, particularly at left tackle with Ian Moore joining Austin Siereveld. At tight end, Bennett Christian and Nate Roberts will be back, with Mason Williams and Hunter Welcing also joining the group. With All-American Jeremiah Smith and senior Brandon Inniss returning at receiver, and a strong offseason for running back Bo Jackson, Day emphasized the need for the team to see how these positions develop.",
  "summary": "With those high expectations in mind, he had a relatively long list of concerns after coming off the practice field Thursday for the first time this preseason.",
