Bo Jackson Injury: Will miss spring ball

Jackson (shoulder) will miss spring ball after undergoing shoulder surgery, per Ohio State writer Bill Landis.

Jackson is coming off a stellar true freshman season with Ohio State, in which he rushed for 1,090 yards and six touchdowns on 6.1 yards per carry, also reeling in 19 catches for 200 yards and a score. The tailback is the clear-cut RB1 for the Buckeyes ahead of the 2026 season, but he'll be sidelined for the duration of spring practices. This should lead to more opportunities for Ja'Kobi Jackson and Anthony Rogers.
