Absolutely. The entire unit is what I probably should have said, no matter the rotation or position. Every man up mentality, every man up execution. Austin exemplifies it.

Absolutely! Jackson and Fryar of course we'll miss, but seeing Austin, Tegra, Carson and Montgomery excel at a high level has to make you feel good about the future, especially with the Portal OTs we picked up. Plus I do think any of Austin, Tegra or Montgomery can slide out to OT (probably RT). Austin along with those mentioned really saved us after crucial injuries and since OL never get the love, I am here to give him a shout out for playing great football that was really crucial in getting the Natty.

Agreed! Our OL as a whole is relatively young. What Frye has done with Carson, Austin, Tegra and Luke has been impressive. Think about these guys with another year under their belts. The addition of Daniels and Onianwa only solidifies what will be a strong OL. The fact that Onianwa will be a senior gives us experience at a key place on the OL.
Also excited to see/hear about the further development of Padilla, Moore, Van Sickle and the Armstrong twins. Out of all of these guys I'm most excited about Moore.

I can't pretend to know how it shakes out on the OL, but mark this cat as a guy that can start anywhere on the OL except center if needed. I know we have the portal guys coming in and Montgomery and Tegra are very good, but this dude will find his way here.

Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.
Speaking earlier in the spring, OSU head coach Ryan Day was asked if there could be a starting spot for Siereveld somewhere along the offensive line.
"I hope so, I hope that's his goal," Day said. "When you think about the guys who have come in that third year, a lot of those guys take the next step, and that's what we want with Austin. Usually, it's a good sign when you're an Iron Buckeye coming out of the winter.
"It's a great sign. We got done (with the playoff) on January 20th, and then you start up just a week later. But sometimes you can come in with a different demeanor, a different look in your eye, a different approach, and he's so far shown that look in his eye."
Tyler Bowen was hired from Virginia Tech to replace Justin Frye as the offensive line coach. He appreciates the fact that Siereveld can be a plug-and-play guy at nearly every O-line position.
"Austin's done a great job," Bowen said. "He's played both tackles this spring, both guards, played every position but center. It's a luxury if a guy can handle it, and he's certainly shown the ability to do that. I've been very impressed with him.
"Watching him on tape, he has very little missed assignments -- and that's in all four of those positions."

G-C-G for us this year is going to be elite. If the Tackles step up and become something, we will kill it again this year.
