Former Ohio State QB Will Howard Makes Huge Recruiting Pitch For Buckeyes
Quarterback Will Howard knows the power of choosing Ohio State. He entered the transfer portal ahead of the 2024-25 season after four successful seasons at Kansas State. He was looking for a place where he could cement his legacy as a college football quarterback and perhaps win a title.
Howard committed to Ohio State via the transfer portal while also considering Miami and USC. Ultimately, his decision proved to be the right one. Not only did he help lead the Buckeyes to a College Football Playoff National Championship win, but he also found himself drafted into the NFL. He’s now a member of the Pittsburgh Steelers.
All of Howard’s dreams and goals came true when he committed to Ohio State, and that’s one heck of a recruiting pitch for the Buckeyes moving forward. In fact, speaking on a podcast with former Steelers’ Super Bowl-winning quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, Howard broke it down as simply as can be.
“You want the beach and money, go to Miami. You want to play for National Championships, come to Ohio State!” Howard said.
Ryan Day needs to hop on the phone with his marketing department and get that line on a t-shirt as soon as possible, because that’s a home grown recruiting pitch if there ever was one. That’s not to mention the fact that OSU is a college football blue blood and the Buckeyes have one of the best pipelines to the NFL Draft in the country. They’ve produced a ton of great NFL players, including some of the best quarterbacks, defensive ends and wideouts in the league.
There’s a lot to like about Ohio State, but if you’re a top recruit looking to develop a championship mindset, there a few better choices in the country.
Another state is jumping into the fray to put the brakes on non-domiciled CDLs, with roughly 5,000 commercial drivers in Ohio facing the potential of having their licenses downgraded.
On Friday, May 29, the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles announced it would be contacting approximately 5,000 non-domiciled CDL holders to verify the status of their credentials under updated rules from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration.
According to the Bureau, non-domiciled license holders in the state will receive one of two notices, depending on the type of documentation they initially used to obtain their CDL.
For drivers whose documentation meets current FMCSA standards, their licenses will remain valid until their expiration date. For those who do not meet current standards, the process is a bit more complicated.
As for CDL holders whose original documents do not meet current FMCSA guidelines, they will receive a notice of downgrade, and their CDLs will be downgraded to a Class D license 30 days after receiving the notice.
Drivers who receive a downgrade notice can request a hearing with the BMV to dispute the downgrade, and can provide additional documentation to prove their eligibility. According to the Bureau, those documents include:
- An unexpired Employment Authorization Document issued by USCIS, valid on the most recent CDL/CLP issuance date
- An unexpired foreign passport with an unexpired USCIS I‑94 form, both of which must be valid on your most recent CDL/CLP issuance date
Officials said the Ohio BMV has not issued or renewed any non-domiciled CDLs since FMCSA put new standards in place in 2025, and that it does not intend to resume issuing non-domiciled CDLs in the future. Additionally, the BMV will not renew revalidated non-domiciled CDLs after they expire.
All notices will be sent by mail to the address listed on file with the Ohio BMV. The Bureau emphasized that the reverification process does not apply to full CDL holders or CDL holders with legally established permanent residence. LL

COLUMBUS, Ohio (WSYX) — A Central Ohio family has filed a lawsuit against a Hilliard funeral home after their mother was accidentally cremated, despite plans for her to be buried.
According to court documents, Tidd Funeral Home cremated Nancy Anders in June of last year against the family’s wishes. The lawsuit states Anders died a week earlier in May.
The family says Anders had planned and prepaid for funeral arrangements two years before her death to be buried with her late husband. The arrangements did not include cremation because, the family says, she did not believe in the concept.
The lawsuit says the family was told a week after her death that she had been accidentally cremated. It also accuses Tidd Funeral Home of cremating her even though the proper authorization form was never signed.
The family says they have suffered physical illness and emotional trauma and are seeking $25,000 in damages. They are also asking for the case to be decided by a jury.
ABC 6 reached out to the funeral home for comment but had not heard back.
