S7E14: Ohio State Reloads, Cincinnati Bengals Under Pressure: 2025 Breakdown with guest Drew Crabtree

Hosts Brad Fowler and Alex Higdon are excited to be joined by Drew Crabtree, credentialed Ohio State and Bengals beat writer at LastWordOnSports.com and editor at Pro Football and Sports Network. We kick things off with college football—Drew breaks down how a Week 1 showdown vs. Texas could reshape Ohio State’s season, what makes Jeremiah Smith and the Buckeye receiver room so elite, and what to expect from new QB Julian Sayin in 2025.

We also dive into Ohio State’s loaded 2025 recruiting class, AD Ross Bjork’s controversial stance on the transfer portal, and which freshmen could make an immediate impact in Columbus.

Then we shift to the NFL and a deep dive into the Cincinnati Bengals. Drew reacts to Zac Taylor landing on the PFF hot seat list, the Trey Hendrickson contract talks, and the Shemar Stewart minicamp holdout. The Bengals defense heading into the season plus more!

Don’t miss this dual-threat breakdown of two programs from a plugged-in reporter who covers both every day.
