2020 In-State Players to Watch



Great place for Lachey to land.

FWIW here is Eleven Warriors' opinion.....Lachey is best known to Ohio State fans as the son of former Buckeye tackle Jim Lachey, but Lachey has also been in recruiting discussions lately because he competed with Cincinnati tight end Joe Royer for an Ohio State during the Buckeyes’ one-day camp June 6.

Royer received his offer the next day and then committed to Ohio State on July 2.

With Iowa’s recent success in developing tight ends – T.J. Hockenson and Noah Fant were both selected in the first round of the NFL Draft in April – some fans are concerned turning Lachey away might come back to hurt Ohio State. Seeing both tight ends compete in the camp June 6, it was fairly obvious that Royer was the most immediately prepared tight end for the Power Five level.

With that said, Lachey has the potential to develop into a productive pass-catching tight end. He just doesn't bring the versatility to block from the tight end position that Royer offers.
