MotS&G Depth Chart: Offensive Line

Depth Chart: Offensive Line

Visit their fantastic blog and read the full article (and so much more) here




The Slobs are a pivotal group on every team, but for Ohio State, it could make or break the offensive scheme and what the team wants to do. Considering what they had lost coming into the offseason, this group had so many questions after the bulk of their experienced players left for an NFL futures.

In a time where a new quarterback will lead the offensive huddle, the O-Line is leaned on to block and help him make the adjustments throughout the game. This years team will have to learn together after losing their starting Center Michael Jordan, Left Guard Malcolm Pridgeon, Right Tackle Isaiah Prince and then there is the Right Guard Demetrious Knox to the pros. It is definitely a bunch of huge shoes to fill, but I think the talent remaining in the room and the talent coming into the fold will surely be up to the task during the Ryan Day era.

After the exits, the few Slobs that are left still have the potential to pick up where the others left off at. Thayer Munford and Josh Alabi operated well at Left Tackle a season ago, Brandon Bowen was a great blocker at Right Guard before being taken out with a devastating leg injury, and Wyatt Davis blocked well in starting duties at Right Guard after Knox was injured late into the season. The one player to watch would the Grad Transfer Jonah Jackson who came in after a stellar career at Rutgers leaving them as an Honorable All-Big Ten performer. Jackson will have to adjust to the team scheme, but he looks to be a plug and play type of player after it is all said and done.

Behind them are players who operated while in mop-up duties, but this is surely a talented group headlined by a trio former five-stars in OT Nicholas Petite-Frere, OL Harry Miller, and OC Josh Myers. Then there are a ton of high-end players that could contribute right away like Gavin Cupp, Ryan Jacoby, Dawand Jones, Matt Jones, Max Wray, and Vimahi Enokk. Walk-ons like Nathan Brock, Jack Jamieson, Brandon Pahl, and Kevin Woidke are also viable options and the needed depth to help develop the scholarship players.

The beauty about Coach Stud’s players is that they are interchangeable and they play where they fit–they will play the best five blockers and players regardless of their position. That is the beauty about the incoming 2020 class, they are mostly Offensive Tackles, but Coach Stud is pitching the idea of them playing all over the line. Headlined by five-star Paris Johnson Jr, he is joined by four-star OC Luke Wypler and a trio of highly talented three-stars, Trey Leroux, Jakob James, and recent Penn State flip Grant Toutant. They may or may not be done, but they could be picky with the one or two players left on their board.

The talent and depth that is building in this room is a great, competitive situation for the coaches to build upon and it is a great opportunity for the players currently in the rooms and for the inbound ones to develop against players of similar skillsets and talent. Iron sharpens iron and with the horses opposite of them, it will be fun to see the trenches strengthen each other for years to come.

Below isn’t set in stone, but I am just going off of experience and potential at specific positions. To me, the starters are solid, but they could be unseated by the younger players during summer camps, Friday Night Light and then fall camp, so buckle up Buckeye fans! It will be a grind for the slobs up until the season begins.

Projected Depth Chart:

LT: Thayer Munford, Branden Bowen, Kevin Woidke

LG: Jonah Jackson, Josh Alabi, Ryan Jacoby, Nathan Brock

OC: Josh Myers, Matt Jones, Harry Miller, Jack Jamieson

RG: Wyatt Davis, Gavin Cupp, Vimahi Enokk, Brandon Pahl

RT: Nicholas Petite-Frere, Max Wray, Dawand Jones

Future OL: 2020, Paris Johnson Jr, Luke Wypler, Jakob James, Trey Leroux, and Grant Toutant.

MotS&G Depth Chart: Tight End

Depth Chart: Tight End
Richard Tongohan
via our good friends at Men of the Scarlet and Gray
Visit their fantastic blog and read the full article (and so much more) here




If I could think of a position at Ohio State that is key, but is usually an afterthought, I would say Tight End. That isn’t a bad thing at all, so don’t misjudge my opening statement, but with all that talent, they are often underutilized in the passing game, but when they are used, it is like a punch that you cannot see.

Coach Wilson, the former Indiana head coach takes ownership of this group and he teaches them the importance of preparation and toughness to play without touching the football–which to me is very, very important in the Ohio State grand scheme of things. Think about it–without the Tight Ends sealing the edges or splitting out into the slot that is one less matchup nightmare for opposing defenses to worry about. Yes, they are barely called upon, but later in the 2018 season, they had a larger role and the players made the best out of their opportunities when called upon.

With 2019, I feel like the offense will evolve and this room will see an uptick in usage and see more opportunities in the passing game. The room did not lose a player from a season ago and Rashod Berry will be the clear leader in this group with a lot of talent behind him. A former number one player at his position in Jeremy Ruckert, Jake Hausmann and Luke Farrell make up the room with Cormontae Hamilton joining the team during the summer is quite the room, filled with high-end talent with an underrated, team-first player like Hamilton coming into the fold. And let us not forget the walk-on Brock Davin, who gives us more depth and flexibility to the Tight End room.

Like I stated earlier, this room is often underused, but the work we don’t see in the blocking game is a crucial piece of this offensive scheme that adds a ton of value to the offense. So what if they don’t get the stats, the heart of this room is evident and to me, they are as valuable as the offensive linemen.

Berry is often used as a lead blocker, playing in the long forgotten Fullback position. He excels at it and he and Hausmann often hurt the defenses downfield for huge chunks per reception and I think the gameplan for this season is to unleash the pass-catchers at the position. At a school like Ohio State, the position is usually not a part of a defensive gameplan, but it could be used to open up the offense and throw defenses off when the elements and the field conditions line up.

I could see Wilson pounding the table for his guys this year to bring more balance to the offense. If it happens or if it doesn’t, it won’t affect the work ethic of these players entrenched in the Buckeye culture. The players in this room are the unsung heroes of the offense and often the forgotten bunch, but their team-first attitudes will elevate their play of the other positional groups. Here is to hoping the Stoneburner shot plays resurface.

Projected Depth Chart:

TE 1: Rashod Berry, Luke Farrell

TE 2: Jake Hausmann, Jeremy Ruckert

TE 3: Cormontae Hamilton, Brock Davin

Future TE’s: No committed players.

The Buckeyes are loading up in the 2020 class.

Following an official visit to the Ohio State campus over the weekend, Pickerington Central rising-senior Ty Hamilton officially committed to play his college football for the Ohio State Buckeyes on Sunday afternoon. Hamilton becomes just the second defensive commitment to the Buckeyes’ 2020 class joining safety Lejond Cavazos.


I’m staying home......100% committed I’m ready #GoBucks #R2X pic.twitter.com/UhysG2nI8l

Hamilton had been considered a Buckeye lean for the past month after Ryan Day extended an offer just a few weeks back on May 28. Once that offer came through, then question was when — not if — the Pickerington star would commit to Ohio State. It seems that his weekend visit to Ohio State answered any questions he had, and convinced him to pull the trigger and join Ohio State’s 2020 class.

Hamilton is currently a three-star prospect, currently rated as the 31st best player coming out of the state of Ohio in the 2020 recruiting class. In addition to the Buckeyes, he was entertaining offers from Michigan, Penn State, Kentucky, Michigan State, Vanderbilt, and another dozen schools.

Ty Hamilton is the younger brother of OSU senior defensive tackle Davon Hamilton.

LGHL Ohio State men’s basketball set to lean on talent of Kaleb Wesson, leadership of Andre Wesson

It’ll be a family effort for the Buckeyes in the upcoming season

“I don’t have a ring,” Wesson said. “That’s something I really want, a ring, whether it’s Big Ten regular season or the tournament championship. That has been in the back of my mind.”


- Andre Wesson, via Stephen Means, Cleveland dot com

Ohio State’s success in the 2019-20 season is going to depend pretty heavily on the Wesson brothers. That seemed pretty unlikely a few years ago, as Stephen notes early in his piece, establishing the humble beginnings that Andre Wesson arrived at Ohio State from. Now, four years later, he may be the most crucial part of Ohio State’s roster, as the lone senior, and easily the most natural leader of the bunch.

I would expect that Andre will serve as a leader in the same way that Keita Bates-Diop did in 2017, keeping the team from ever getting too high or too low, and remaining a bit of a steadying force whenever the Buckeyes need it. There are more vocal leaders, and more experienced leaders, as mentioned in the piece, but Andre’s demeanor kept Ohio State calm last season, and should play an even bigger factor in his senior year.

If he can step up and continue his development as a scorer, that dream of a ring seems well within reach for Wesson and the Buckeyes.

“All you have to do to know the value of Wesson is look back to last season when he was suspended for three games. Ohio State lost them all. He came back and the Buckeyes beat Indiana to essentially earn an NCAA tournament bid. Wesson flirted with the NBA draft. He’s back and with him the Buckeyes should be in the NCAA tournament again. Without him, they would not.”


- Andy Katz, NCAA

While I’m not sold on Katz’s assertion that Ohio State would miss the tournament with Kaleb Wesson, I certainly agree that Kaleb is one of the most important players in the Big Ten, and on this list, he checks in at third, just behind Cassius Winston and Anthony Cowan Jr.


Top 5 most important @B1GMBBall players, according to @TheAndyKatz!

1. Cassius Winston
2. Anthony Cowan Jr.
3. Kaleb Wesson
4. Zavier Simpson
5. Nojel Eastern

— NCAA March Madness (@marchmadness) June 14, 2019

Just like with his big brother’s leadership, Ohio State will certainly need Kaleb to be the best version of himself if they want to compete for a Big Ten Championship, and perhaps even a national championship. The team will be significantly better around Kaleb this year than it was last year, but he is still an extremely dominant force, and having him on the court makes everything flow much smoother.

That last part, having him on the court, will be key. If Wesson can keep the fouls to a minimum, and avoid any suspensions, he could be in for an All-American caliber season. If not? The Buckeyes may be headed for the NCAA tournament bubble for a second straight season.

Lonsway grabs another award


Buckeye freshman phenom pitcher Seth Lonsway has been recognized quite a few times already for his excellent play this past season, but yesterday he picked up another accolade, as he was named a Freshman All-American by Rawlings. This is his fifth postseason accolade, according to Ohio State Buckeyes dot com.

He has also been recognized as a second team Freshman All-American by the NCBWA, on the Big Ten All-Freshman team, Third-Team All Big Ten, and on the Big Ten All-Tournament team. In just his first year of college baseball, as a redshirt freshman, Lonsway made quite the impression, leading the Big Ten in strikeouts and putting up an 8-4 record with a sub-4 ERA. He’ll be one of the core pieces of Ohio State’s rotation next season.

LGHL Ohio State recruiting: staff continues to send out new offers hoping for big return

The Buckeyes staff keeps with the trend of sending out more new offers this week.

With prospect football camp season underway, the Ohio State Buckeyes staff has had their fair share of chances already early this summer to host several of Ohio’s (and top national) kids from the 2021 class and beyond. Each week the Buckeyes are putting on their summer camps, and while not all names are new to the recruiting scene, Ryan Day and his crew are sending out new offers almost daily, hoping to see it pay off in the near future. With big time visitor weekends on the way in the coming weeks, Ohio State’s recruiting efforts have really been ramping up.

2021 offensive tackle earns Buckeye offer


In the current 2020 Ohio State recruiting class, there are already five offensive lineman in the fold for Ryan Day. A priority for this class to say the least, the offensive staff knew they needed to restock the shelves a bit. While this current cycle is already large in number, top programs know that you have to recruit for the offensive and defensive lines each and every year. While many 2021 guys have already gotten the Ohio State offer, more offers have been sporadically sent out the last few weeks with the Buckeyes hosting one-day football camps in Columbus. This week was much of the same story.

Yesterday, 2021 offensive tackle prospect, Michael Gonzalez (Monroe, NC /Sun Valley) announced via his Twitter account that his latest offer was from Ohio State. A 6-foot-4, 290-pound tackle, Michael does not currently hold a 247sports ranking due to his class status, but with an impressive Ohio State offer now in the fold, you can bet that his ranking will likely follow suit. Currently, Gonzalez holds just over double-digit offers from the likes of Illinois, Virginia Tech, Georgia Tech, Wake Forest and Louisville. As stated though, with the Buckeyes now being arguably his most notable offer to date, it’s just a matter of time before other top programs come calling his name as well.


Honored to have EARNED an offer from The Ohio State University! #GoBucks pic.twitter.com/A7tJfRqW1T

— Michael Gonzalez (@mgonzalez_71) June 13, 2019

Gonzalez camped at Ohio State last week, and while he didn’t leave with the offer in hand, he obviously impressed the staff enough as — a week later — he earned that Buckeye offer. With many other prospects still on the market for the Buckeyes in the 2021 class, it’s hard to say how serious this recruitment is with it being this new. Look for the Buckeyes to really start ramping up their efforts with Michael, and if another unofficial visit comes soon, that will really tell how both parties feel about each other.

4-star 2020 prospect ready for OSU official


One area where the Buckeyes always recruit well is on the defensive line. With Larry Johnson, who is thought by many to be the best coach in college football at his position, and the Buckeyes more than proven track record at developing their defensive lineman, it’s easy to see why the cycle of success continues to repeat itself. Sure enough, this fall with Chase Young already projected to be a first round talent for the 2020 NFL Draft, it would be just another notch in Larry Johnson’s belt and testimony for Ohio State as the king of defensive line play and recruiting.

This weekend, a prospect that could keep the success train moving right along will make his official visit to Ohio State. Houston native Vernon Broughton, a 6-foot-5, 285-pound defensive tackle arrives later today for his weekend stay in Columbus. Thought by many experts to be the highest Ohio State target at the position besides the in-state Ohio guys, Vernon will surely see the red carpet rolled out for he and his family while on their stay. Ranked as the nation’s sixth best at his position, Broughton is also the 10th best player in an always loaded state of Texas for the 2020 cycle. A high four-star prospect, Vernon holds over 20 offers from many of the top elite programs.

— Vernon Broughton ll (@Broughto1Vernon) June 13, 2019

For the Buckeyes to receive one of his five allotted official visits, it proves Ohio State is a serious contender in his recruitment. With the 247sports crystal ball predictions all in favor of Texas, Larry Johnson and Ryan Day will make sure this official visit weekend lasts in his mind and gives him serious reason to pick Ohio State for his college destination. With the events set to start today, this will be one to watch closely in the coming days.

Quick Hit:

  • Pickerington (OH) native Ty Hamilton, a 6-foot-3, 250-pound defensive end starts his official visit to see the Buckeyes later today. A three-star and top-30 in-state prospect, this visit will tell how he sits with the Buckeyes and their plans for the 2020 class.

usa_today_12525581.0.jpg

In just four months on the job as Ohio State football head coach, Day has had to deal with a number of players transferring in and out of the program.

“There are parts of it that I completely understand. There are other parts that make me very, very nervous about where the future of college football is going with it. But there’s not an easy answer.”

Ohio State football head coach Ryan Day on transfers via Dan Hope, Eleven Warriors


New Ohio State head coach Ryan Day is doing some serious work on the recruiting trail during his short time as Buckeye head coach, but his first season as the man in charge in Columbus will be defined by transfers. Coming into the Ohio State program are Georgia transfer quarterback Justin Fields and offensive lineman Jonah Jackson, who previously played at Rutgers.

Fields and Jackson will have an instant impact for Ohio State, but a number of Buckeye players who have transferred out of the program will test Day when it comes to depth for the next couple of seasons. Quarterbacks Tate Martell and Matthew Baldwin both decided Ohio State wasn’t the place for them during the offseason and have moved on, leaving the Buckeyes with a serious lack of depth at quarterback. The loss of Baldwin especially hurts Ohio State, since he was seen as someone who would test Fields, as well as take the reins from the former five-star recruit when he left the program. The Buckeyes turned to Kentucky transfer quarterback Gunnar Hoak to give them another scholarship quarterback on the roster.

Even though Day has benefitted with some of the big names he has brought to Ohio State via transfer, the whole transfer system still has him nervous. Ohio State has seen a number of players transfer out of the program over the last few years, especially at quarterback. Day knows the trend of increased transfers means he’ll have to be even clearer with communication with recruits.

Even though a number of transfers have put Ohio State in the headlines during the offseason, in reality the Buckeyes have done a great job at keeping talent in Columbus considering the retirement of head coach Urban Meyer and a number of changes on the coaching staff. With the honesty and poise that Day has displayed so far as Ohio State head coach, it’s hard to imagine transfers will become a big problem in the program.

“A golfer golfs, fishermen fish. A coach looks at film. I don’t fish and I don’t golf. I watch film.”

New Ohio State quarterbacks coach and passing game coordinator Mike Yurcich really enjoys his job. Some coaches might try and get away from the game a little bit during their time off, but Yurcich finds enjoyment in watching film. The dedication to his craft has helped Yurcich rise up the coaching ranks. A decade ago, Yurcich was the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at Edinboro University in Pennsylvania, and now he is one of the minds in charge of creating the game plan for one of the most prestigious college football programs in the country.

Now that Yurcich has joined Ryan Day’s staff at Ohio State, he is even more passionate about his work. With being at such a high-level program, Yurcich knows he has to be on the cutting edge to help Ohio State’s offense continue to excel. Working with strength and conditioning coach Mickey Marotti and some of the other experienced Ohio State assistants has also driven Yurcich to put forth his best work.

With the regular season still over two months away, Yurcich has plenty on his plate to keep him busy. Even though Ohio State has quarterback recruits in the fold in the 2020 and 2021 recruiting classes, Yurcich will be scouring summer camps to try and find some more talented recruits that could come to Ohio State in the future. With all the film Yurcich will have to look at trying to not only prepare for Ohio State’s 2019 season, but also beyond, the new Buckeye assistant should be in heaven with the amount of film he’ll be tasked with breaking down.

“I think whoever was going to get him, when he was deciding, was going to get a really good football player and a really good person.”

Tim McFarlin, high school football coach of Ohio State running back Steele Chambers via John Brice, Letterman Row


If his career at Blessed Trinity Catholic high school in Georgia is any indication, expect to hear Steele Chambers’ name early and often at Ohio State. The running back started what is believed to be a Georgia High School Association record 58 games during his high school career, and he didn’t just excel at running back. Not only did Chambers run for 244 yards and three touchdowns in the Georgia 4A state title game, but he also threw for a touchdown pass. Chambers also took over at middle linebacker after JD Bertrand, who signed with Notre Dame, was injured in the semifinals.

Luckily for Chambers, Ohio State will only expect him to focus on excelling at running back, since the Buckeyes are loaded with talent at linebacker. Even though Chambers won’t be expected to be out there making tackles for Ohio State, his performance in the state title game not only showed his will to win, but also displayed just how talented he is. The fact that Chambers could step in on the other side of the football and excel in his team’s most important game of the year shows how special of a talent Ohio State has in the fold.

Running back J.K. Dobbins will get the bulk of the carries in the backfield for Ohio State this year, but it’s going to be hard to keep Chambers off the field in 2019. Chambers was a workhorse in high school, running the football 30 times in four of his last six games in his senior season. While Ohio State won’t need him to tote the rock that many times, it’s reassuring to know they are getting a durable, physical running back who will likely play a major role in the Buckeye offense in the future.

LGHL Ohio State sends offer to offensive tackle, tight end

Ohio State sends offer to offensive tackle, tight end

usa_today_9639674.0.jpg

An offensive tackle, and tight end from the 2021 class are the latest to pick up Buckeye offers.

Already this week, we’ve mentioned how the Ohio State Buckeyes are poised to have a big June on the recruiting trail. Tuesday brought good news that three-star 2020 tight end prospect Joe Royer (Cincinnati, OH / Elder) put the Bucks in his top-6 schools list, and Wednesday followed up with a set of offers to 2021 prospects.

Let’s take a closer look at what the future could hold for Ryan Day and the OSU program.

To Cedar Rapids we go


One recipient of an OSU offer was offensive tackle Connor Colby. While he doesn’t have a full recruiting prospectus yet, that didn’t stop the Bucks from hosting him—and giving him the chance to suit up in Columbus. Colby tweeted out his offer Wednesday afternoon.


Extremely blessed to receive an offer from The Ohio State University! Thank you @CoachStudOL for this opportunity. #GoBucks pic.twitter.com/BJR3R1hNQC

— Connor Colby (@ConnorColby77) June 12, 2019

Already, this will be an uphill battle for Day and offensive line coach Greg Studrawa. Over five schools have made the Cedar Rapids, Iowa, native an offer, including home schools Iowa and Iowa State. With two years remaining in his recruitment, there’s six 247sports crystal ball predictions made, and all are pointing to the Hawkeyes.

Colby has a long way to go before making a final decision, but his recruitment (and potential) is shaping up to be one of the big ones as the calendar flips to 2021. 247sports has issued their own recruiting rating for the 6-foot-5, 270-pounder—and it’s really good. He’s pegged as the 25th best offensive lineman in the class, and second best prospect in Iowa for the ‘21 recruiting cycle.

If OSU misses on Colby, it’s not the end of the world. Day and company are recruiting Ben Christman (Richfield, OH / Revere), the No. 3 OT in 2021. Early predictions point to the Buckeyes winning that battle, but you’d like to have options just in case a team gets him.

Another TE


If tight end was the focus this week, then things must be looking good at OSU. Fresh off the news of Royer adding the Buckeyes to his list of top schools, 2021 prospect Nick Elksnis (Jacksonville, FL / Episcopal) made the announcement on Twitter that not only did he have a “great visit” to Ohio State, but he picked up an opportunity to play for the Big Ten power.


After a great visit in Columbus, I am blessed to have earned a scholarship offer from The Ohio State University!! Go Buckeyes!! #formygoodbutHISglory @ryandaytime @OSUCoachKDub @OhioStateFB @ReturnOfJamez @proimpact904 pic.twitter.com/Iq6pM4TkSz

— Nick Elksnis (@NickElksnis) June 12, 2019

At 6-foot-5, 220 pounds, he’s got an early three-star grading from 247sports. Will that star grading go up or down when more outlets unveil their grade for Elksnis? Who knows. But what we do know is that Ohio State isn’t the only big-time school to come knocking.

Florida State, Miami (FL) and Michigan are just three of the 11 reported offers for the Floridian. Especially if teams want a TE down the line, they better start now. 247sports has Elksnis as the No. 11 TE in the class and No. 51 overall recruit in Florida.

We don’t really know how the TE position will be utilized by Ryan Day, but after his inaugural season wraps up, we’ll definitely know how big (or small) the TE’s role will be on the offense—which will inevitably influence who gets recruited to Columbus.

Heads or tails, Ohio State or Michigan? Jerry Krall let the coin decide
Nov. 24, 2018; Toledo Blade

Waiting at the front door of his tidy Rossford ranch the other morning, Jerry Krall greeted us with a wave and a pumped fist.

“Go Blue!” he shouted.

Then the 91-year-old former Ohio State star and resident cut-up smiled.

“Nah,” he said, motioning a photographer and I [sic] inside the house, where he lives with his wife, Helen, and their basement guest, a female department store mannequin wearing his old leather football helmet atop a dirty blonde wig and a Varsity ‘O’ sweater. “Go Bucks.”

cont.

Good read but this made me chuckle. He may have misjudged a bit.

“I think it’s going to be a matter of few points,” Mr. Krall said. “It could go either way, the way I’m seeing it.”

Is refusing pennies legal?

Every toll booth that I've come across did not accept pennies.

I don't know about the credit card minimum, but as long as pennies are considered legal tender, I'll use them whenever necessary. I guess if someone is being stupid and paying with a pile of 200 pennies, I can see them expecting them to be rolled.

Well, shoot them sme quarters:
