Former Ohio State wide receivers have publicly criticized the Buckeyes football program and head coach Ryan Day, according to a report published November 8, 2026. The criticism comes as Day enters another season leading the program, with a recent game against the USC Trojans at Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum on October 31, 2026, serving as a backdrop to the ongoing scrutiny.
Details of the specific complaints from the former players were not disclosed in the initial report. Day, who has coached Ohio State since 2019, has faced increased pressure following recent postseason disappointments. The Buckeyes' matchup against USC marked a high-profile non-conference game in the expanded Big Ten schedule.
