This Week in Twitter is a look at some of the week's best and most entertaining tweets from Buckeyeland and beyond.
The week began with The Best Quarterback Room in College Football™ exporting another surplus pupil out into the world, this time with the unmulleted but excellently named Jagger LaRoe:

Jaylen Harris' final final Ohio State stats: Five catches, 54 yards and one college degree.
SO proud of this HOWL mentee: Jaylen Harris, a former WR on our football team. Injuries forced his out of the sport, but he kept up w/his studies, we stayed in touch & now he's now a graduate for THE Ohio State Univ. He's sent me the grad photos I requested. #GOBUCKS pic.twitter.com/h4vNJpTqrN

That GIF from The Wolf of Wall Street is quite literally a message that says:
I'm Not Leaving, I'm Staying to Commit More Crimes Which Will Make the SEC Mad
...and we're all about that action here, good look Mitch.
Former Buckeye QB and fellow Lake Travis HS alum Matthew Baldwin has prudent Garrett Wilson thoughts.
Theres that.. and the fact that his football iq is Qb level and he also happens to be able to jump 40+ inches and beat pretty much anyone 1on1 to the ball. @GarrettWilson_V https://t.co/b4Pm0np9GX

For the uninformed, Sanjay Lal is to WR coaching what Bill Davis is to LB coaching, with one exception. It involved a tuxedo.
Speaking of former Ohio State linebacker coaches:

From the announcement:
“(Al) Washington comes to the Irish after spending the last three seasons at Ohio State. In his final season at Ohio State, Washington and the Buckeyes’ defense ranked in the Top-20 nationally in defensive touchdowns and turnover margin.”
Ah, yes of course. That's exactly what Buckeye fans remember about the 2021 defense.
Luke Wypler got t-boned, and not in the good Lawry's The Prime Rib kind of way.
