Ohio State will be without two important players during spring practice
COLUMBUS, Ohio — Ohio State will be without the top of its running back room when it starts the spring.
Bo Jackson and Isaiah West are expected to be the RB1 and RB2 for the Buckeyes in 2026, but neither will be available for the 15 spring practices. Head coach Ryan Day announced during a radio hit that both will be recovering from offseason shoulder surgeries.
Jackson led OSU with 179 carries for 1,090 yards amd 14 touchdowns along with 22 catches for 161 yards and two scores as a freshman. West turned 59 carries into 310 yards and two touchdowns.
The absence of the two sophomore backs creates plenty of opportunity to build depth behind them in transfer Ja’Kobi Jackson, sophomore Turbo Rogers and incoming freshmen Favour Akih and Legend Bey.
Day also voiced his excitement, especially with Bey, whom the Buckeyes flipped from Tennessee.
“He’s dynamite,” Day said. “I’ve called him poor man’s Tyreke Hill. He’s lightning in a bottle, and he can do a lot of things for us.”

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.
