Segment 1: Welcome to the GSMC College Football Podcast by the GSMC Sports Network — your go-to source for everything college football. From Power Five headlines to under-the-radar transfer portal gems, we break down the latest news, hottest takes, and rising stars in the game. In this episode, we spotlight top transfer portal talent, including massive tight end Tanner Koziol, blindside protector Joe Cotton, relentless edge TJ Bush, bruising back Josh McCray, and the freakishly athletic Elo Modozie. Whether you're a recruiting junkie, casual fan, or college football diehard, we deliver the insights you crave. Segment 2: Get ready for a deep-dive into one of the most anticipated teams of 2025 in this episode of the GSMC College Football Podcast by the GSMC Sports Network. We preview Ohio State football and break down the quarterback battle between Julian Sayin, Lincoln Kienholz, and Tavien St. Clair, plus a loaded receiver room led by Jeremiah Smith and Carnell Tate. We look at potential breakout stars like James Peoples, Bo Jackson, and Mylan Graham, and evaluate how the Buckeyes will reload on both sides of the ball. From the trenches to the secondary, we analyze key returnees, portal additions, and the must-watch matchups on the Buckeyes’ 2025 schedule — including the monster Week 1 clash vs Texas and the season finale in Ann Arbor. Segment 3: In this episode of the GSMC College Football Podcast, we dive deep into the 2025 Penn State Nittany Lions and what’s next for Drew Allar and James Franklin’s squad. With Allar back at QB and the return of Nick Singleton and Kaytron Allen — arguably the best backfield in the country — expectations are sky-high in Happy Valley. We break down key positional battles at wide receiver, where transfers Kyren Hudson and Devonte Ross are set to step up, and tight end, where Khalil Dinkins and five-star Luke Reynolds lead the way. The O-line brings back almost everyone, and the front seven will lean on Dani Dennis-Sutton and Zane Durant to carry the defense. Can Penn State make another run at the CFP with big matchups against Oregon and Ohio State on the 2025 schedule? Segment 4: On this episode of the GSMC College Football Podcast, we spotlight the top NFL Draft prospects who are built to make an immediate impact at the next level. We kick things off with Abdul Carter, a freak athlete off the edge whose versatility and motor scream Day 1 contributor. We also break down Grey Zabel, the North Dakota State standout whose dominant Senior Bowl performance proved he can hang with the big boys — whether at guard or tackle. At linebacker, Carson Schwesinger turned heads in his one year at UCLA, consistently making plays behind the line with elite effort and violence. And don’t sleep on Andrew Mubuka, a smart, instinctive safety with 4.4 speed and a true tone-setting mentality. Segment 5: In this episode of the GSMC College Football Podcast, we break down the major NCAA rule changes for the 2025 season — and how they’ll impact strategy across the board. From penalties for fake injuries to new timeout restrictions in overtime, the NCAA is cracking down on tactics that disrupt the flow of play. We discuss the implications of these changes on fast-paced offenses, defensive signals, and special teams, including new formations on punts and a clarified fair catch rule. Plus, with coach-to-player communication expanding to FCS, we explore how technology is reshaping sideline strategy. Whether you're a fan, coach, or player, this episode delivers everything you need to know about the new college football rules and why they matter.
