Poison in a Pretty Glass
That was my first thought. But then I replayed it and I think he may mean Jaden is helping the OL prepare as a scout team DL. Hard to tell.

At the end of his black stripe video he thanks his unit coach, Coach J; who we all know to mean Larry Johnson (even if Jenny Taft doesn’t)

WHAT TO EXPECT IN 2020 AND BEYOND FROM OHIO STATE'S 10 FRESHMEN WHO REDSHIRTED LAST SEASON
DT JADEN MCKENZIE
2019 in review: McKenzie appeared in two games, playing 11 snaps late in wins against Miami (Ohio) and Maryland.
A look toward 2020: Due to the loss of three outgoing seniors, Ohio State will have to figure out how to replace its three defensive tackles who took the most snaps in 2019. McKenzie, though, remains on the outer fray of those conversations. At 3-technique, Taron Vincent and Haskell Garrett are viewed as the two most likely starting candidates, with Jerron Cage also in the mix. McKenzie will likely be behind all three of them on the depth chart, though he’ll get opportunities to prove otherwise in the offseason.
Long-term outlook: McKenzie, a late addition to Ohio State’s 2019 recruiting class, has floated under the radar ever since signing as the No. 765 overall prospect. Eventually, though, he’ll have an opportunity to earn a spot in the rotation. The Buckeyes don’t have quite as much depth among underclassman defensive tackles as most would expect, meaning he’ll be counted on to come through eventually.

Head Down, Ohio State DT Jaden McKenzie Ready for Important Spring
As a true freshman last season, Ohio State defensive tackle Jaden McKenzie saw action in just two games while dealing with injuries and a loaded depth chart.
He was the lone defensive tackle signed by the Buckeyes in the 2019 class, and didn’t even commit until the early December signing day.
As a late add to the 2019 class, McKenzie also held offers from in-state North Carolina, as well as Clemson, Tennessee, South Carolina, Wisconsin, and others.
With upwards of seven other defensive tackles ahead of him on the roster, playing time was going to be sparse for any true freshman. Which is why most of his rookie year was spent simply learning from all of the veterans ahead of him.
“It’s been really fun, just the whole ride,” McKenzie said. “Our training staff really did a great job helping me get better. It’s been great working with the veterans and learning from them. Those guys have been here a while. They have a lot of experience, so I think just having conversations with them on the regular helps me develop. They’re great guys and great leaders.”
McKenzie enrolled last summer, so he has yet to experience a spring camp at Ohio State. While this will be a new experience for him, it will also be a very important time in his career. Gone are three fifth-year senior defensive tackles in DaVon Hamilton, Robert Landers, and Jashon Cornell, which means the depth chart is wide open right now.
“I can’t wait. I can’t wait,” McKenzie said. “Spring’s going to be a big factor in my college career. So I’m doing everything I can to prepare for that moment.”
