GOOD GUY SETH MCLAUGHLIN. Like Will Howard, Seth McLaughlin is a Good Guy™. This month, the Ohio State center has sold “Run the Damn Ball” hats and will donate 100 percent of the sales to feed Central Ohio families on Thanksgiving. Here’s a three-part update on where McLaughlin stands with his hat sales:
On Nov. 1, McLaughlin announced he would sell the hats.
When asked Wednesday what inspired him to sell the product, McLaughlin said his heart aches for those who can't afford to consistently put food on the table.
"Being a lineman, I like eating food. It's heavy on my heart that some people don't have the amount of food I've had growing up," he said. "Anything that I can do to help people out and be a blessing with the platform that I have is what I try to do. The 'Run the Damn Ball' project, the acronym RTDB, is a play on 'Run to the Donation Box.' We're donating all the proceeds from those hat sales. I'm working with the Mid-Ohio Food Collective. ... I'm super appreciative that people would kind of hop on this project with me and do a lot of good for this community."
One of 16 finalists for the William V. Campbell Trophy, McLaughlin combines academic and athletic success with commendable leadership qualities at Ohio State.
With his nomination for the award, McLaughlin became a member of the 2024 NFF National Scholar-Athlete class and received an $18,000 postgraduate scholarship. If he wins the Campbell Trophy, the scholarship will increase to $25,000. The Buckeyes have had two Campbell Trophy winners all time: quarterbacks Bobby Hoying (1995) and Craig Krenzel (2003).

On Nov. 1, McLaughlin announced he would sell the hats.
On Nov. 3, the morning after Ohio State’s win over Penn State, McLaughlin announced the hats were sold out.
On Nov. 6, McLaughlin announced the hats are back in stock.
McLaughlin said fans who purchase a hat will receive it before the Indiana game, which will occur on Nov. 23 after Ohio State faces Purdue (Saturday) and Northwestern (Nov. 16). He also plans to create a link where fans can donate to his efforts even without purchasing a lid.

I don’t have access to the rumor mill but apparently had a bad injury today.
If true what a huge blow for Seth and the team.

yeah it’ll be on Day and Kelly to figure out how to move the ball. I’d like to see them take more chances to score fast. We likely won’t be able to just churn out score after score with this OL.
We’ve always had good fortune on the OL injury wise over the last few decades. Finally paying for it now it seems.
Really going to be tough to win in the playoffs though with these issues looming. TCUN game too could really be a struggle to score with the DL they have.
Just beat TCUN man. Anything more than that is icing on the cake.

Hinzman will probably have to go to center and they will have to plug somebody in at guard. They will have to scheme it up.

This may be the downfall of Frye if Day doesn't bolt for the NFL.
