  "summary": "Six Ohio players have made USA TODAY's top 100 college football players for the 2026 season, with five of them representing Ohio State. Jeremiah Smith, a wide receiver for Ohio State, leads the rankings as the No. 1 player overall, described as one of the best in college football. Kenyatta Jackson Jr., a defensive end for Ohio State, is ranked 97th and is expected to take on a larger leadership role on the defensive line. Terry Moore, a transfer from Duke and a free safety for Ohio State, is ranked 74th and had a strong spring after recovering from a torn ACL. Bo Jackson, a running back for Ohio State, is ranked 58th and is crucial to the offense due to questions about depth in the position.
