Guy will always be a legend to me.

Mixed reviews about his character out of the WHAC…..some praise him for his truthfulness in lead up to Mizzou debacle. Others say his candidness changed how the coaching staff approached big games…

Bottom line…..dude is a Center. Those guys are a different breed. He stepped in and won us a Natty.

JMO, but Carson is a little loose…..just from things I’ve heard…..I think his heart is in the right place but sometimes emotions get better of him.

I’m glad we have him coming back and it’ll be interesting to see how his leadership jives with what is likely a very young QB.

Seems to have grown up a lot from that experience as well. If he gets his snaps up he’ll be a good one here and the next level.

Carson Hinzman Returns to Home State of Wisconsin With “A Lot More Confidence” Than Two Years Ago​

A look back at Ohio State’s game film from when it last played Wisconsin showed Carson Hinzman just how far he’s come over the past two years.

“It was rough,” Hinzman said, laughing and shaking his head. “I had no idea really what I was doing. I was just kind of playing ball and hoping stuff didn't go wrong.”

While Hinzman was Ohio State’s starting center for the Buckeyes’ October 2023 game at Camp Randall Stadium, that 24-10 win in Madison came amid a roller-coaster first season in the lineup for the Wisconsin native. Thrust into starting duty a year earlier than expected after Luke Wypler entered the NFL draft, Hinzman struggled throughout the 2023 season, ultimately leading to his benching for the season-ending Cotton Bowl.

Now that he’s the experienced veteran of Ohio State’s offensive line, Hinzman returns to his home state as a far more confident player this time around.

“Two years ago, I mean, playing a lot more reactionary. I didn't really fully understand why things were going on or what was happening. I kind of had to rely a lot more on the guys around me,” Hinzman said. “But now it's a different position where I get to kind of step into a little bit more of a leadership role and have a lot of the guys kind of rely on me and what I'm looking at and how I can see what's happening and kind of diagnose that. So it's the same position, but completely different feel for the game.”
