J.K. Dobbins Signs $2.75M Contract with Denver Broncos

Ohio State continues to solidify its reputation as a premier program for wide receivers, recently hosting Florida high school standout Brysen Wright, a 6-foot-3, 200-pound prospect who is already generating significant recruiting buzz despite being part of the 2028 class. Meanwhile, former Ohio State running back J.K. Dobbins has signed a one-year contract with the Denver Broncos, adding to a crowded backfield and bringing experience after a productive NFL career hindered by injuries. Illinois has bolstered its 2026 recruiting class by landing running back Nelsyn Wheeler, a former Northern Illinois commit known for his speed and recent commitment following an official visit to Champaign. In the NFL, former Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb is set to sign a one-year deal with the Houston Texans pending a physical, joining a backfield that includes Joe Mixon and a host of rookies, with hopes that new offensive leadership might diversify Houston’s attack. These movements highlight ongoing recruitment and roster changes across college and professional football, reflecting strategic team-building efforts and talent acquisition in 2025.
