The RJ Young Show

Katy Mullins joined me on our Bookish Club podcast to review Salman Rushdie's "Quichotte." The novel follows an Indian American on a quest to win the heart of woman he's never met. This novel is a work of meta-fiction that borders on the surreal and continues to connect us to the trials of present day. I'd recommend you reading it.

I spoke with KJRH sports director Cayden McFarland about his favorite college football team: The Notre Dame Fighting Irish. I dig into Ohio State's move to shut down voluntary workouts in Columbus, and I got to speak with Caleb Williams about his commitment to Oklahoma.

In this episode, I spoke with Lettermen Row Ohio State football beat writer Austin Ward about the upcoming 2020 season for Ryan Day, Justin Fields and the Buckeyes. I also unpack what five-star quarterback Caleb Williams' commitment to Oklahoma's 2021 recruiting class means for Spencer Rattler, Lincoln Riley and the Sooners in the coming years.

2020 Ohio State Preview: Ryan Day, Justin Fields and the 2020 Ohio State Buckeyes winning the College Football Playoff national title is clear. And it's win-now mode in Columbus. 2021 four-star defensive end Dallas Turner committed to Nick Saban and the Alabama Crimson Tide. 2021 five-star corner back Tony Grimes committed to Dre Bly and Mack Brown's North Carolina Tar Heels. The case for Oklahoma making the 2020 College Football Playoff begins with Lincoln Riley, goes to Spencer Rattler and ends with a schedule where the Sooners will be favored in all 12 of their games. Also, I spoke with Dave Campbell Texas Football writer Shehan Jeyarajah about the best college football players in Texas.
