Stock Up​

Riley Pettijohn​

Riley Pettijohn is making a strong case for a starting linebacker spot.

Following Ohio State's win over Kent State, Pettijohn recorded the first interception of his young career, and he also notched three total tackles. He ended as the highest-rated player according to Pro Football Focus, grading out as a 91.5 in his 27 snaps.

And through three weeks, he's the third-highest-rated player for Ohio State according to PFF, with a minimum of 50 snaps and a 90 rating, trailing TJ Alford with 90. 5 and Jeremiah Smith with 91.1.

He's logged 12 total tackles and a sack in addition to his pick, while also forcing pressure with occasional plays where he's coming off the edge. His role is increasing, and it's going to be hard to keep him on the field moving forward.

Gabe VanSickle Likely to Start Against Illinois With Phillip Daniels Potentially Missing Second Straight Game​

164097_h.jpg


Ryan Day was asked Tuesday if he expected starting right tackle Phillip Daniels to play against Illinois after missing the Kent State game due to injury.

Day didn‘t give a direct answer, instead deferring to the Big Ten availability report, which will be released for the first time this week at 8 p.m. Wednesday.

"We're going to have the new availability report that'll start towards the end of the week here, similar to the way that it's been done in the CFP," Day said. "So once we kind of get that going, we'll have the update. So, I don't know what the expectation is on the availability report when it comes out for the first time, but he will be practicing in some capacity today, and then we'll evaluate it from there."

When Day was asked later about Gabe VanSickle, however, Day indicated that VanSickle would likely make his second consecutive start at right guard, which would mean Austin Siereveld shifting over from right guard to play in place of Daniels at right tackle for a second straight week.

“He'll have an opportunity this weekend, most likely,” Day said of VanSickle. “And so this would be a great opportunity for him to grade out a champion against a conference opponent.”
