Urban Meyer, the former head coach of Ohio State, recently predicted that the Buckeyes will capture a national chapionship under current head coach Ryan Day. Meyer, who led Ohio State to a national title in 2014, expressed his confidence in Day’s ability to guide the program to future success, citing Day’s exceptional leadership, offensive brilliance, and the high-caliber talent he continues to recruit.
Meyer noted that Day has built upon the foundation Meyer laid, while also adapting and evolving Ohio State’s strategies to maintain its dominance in college football. Under Day, the Buckeyes have remained competitive, consistently ranking among the top teams in the nation and securing multiple Big Ten championships. Meyer emphasized that Day’s commitment to developing players and his ability to make crucial game-time decisions are vital attributes that will help the team succeed on the biggest stage.
One of the key reasons Meyer is optimistic about Ohio State’s chances for another national title is the depth of talent Day has been able to attract to Columbus. From top-tier recruits to elite transfer players, Ohio State’s roster is stacked with skill at every position. Meyer also highlighted the strong quarterback play, which has been a hallmark of Ohio State’s success in recent years, with players like Justin Fields and C.J. Stroud leading the charge.
Although Meyer acknowledged the fierce competition in college football, including rivals like Alabama, Georgia, and Michigan, he remains confident that Ryan Day’s leadership, paired with the Buckeyes’ elite roster, will eventually result in a national championship triumph. According to Meyer, it’s only a matter of time before Ohio State reclaims the pinnacle of college football.
