An unnamed former NFL tight end has criticized the characterization of Ohio State quarterback Luke Fahey as "elite," according to a report published Saturday by Heavy.com.
The commentary comes as the Buckeyes prepare for the 2026 season under head coach Ryan Day. Ohio State most recently defeated Illinois 42-19 on September 26, 2026, at Ohio Stadium in Columbus.
Details of the former player's specific objections were not included in the initial report. Fahey's statistical profile and performance metrics that prompted the "elite" designation were also not specified.
