OL Carson Hinzman (Official Thread)

I'm really excited about Carson possibly being our starting Center with Cutler being our utility guy. I think we are going to have a solid two deep all across the line come Fall.
I think in the end, I can see Hinzman and James being the 2 main OCs, and Cutler is a swing player that can play all IOL positions.

  • Day confirmed that Josh Simmons will start at left tackle against Indiana, with Carson Hinzman leading at center and Josh Fryar at right tackle. He added that this has been the best football right guard Matthew Jones has played.
  • Beginning at center, redshirt freshman Carson Hinzman appeared to be the leading candidate throughout the offseason based on practices open to the media. There’s now official word from Day that he’s the frontrunner at the spot, though transfer acquisition Vic Cutler Jr. remains in the running.

    “Coming out of camp, Carson’s a little ahead of Vic,” Day said. “But that will keep working for the next couple of weeks, they’ll keep going at it in practice, we’ll keep evaluating.”

Bit of a nice profile on Cory.
The windchill had cratered to around minus-45 degrees, Carson Hinzman remembers, when the young man who is now Ohio State football’s starting center was a boy pulling his truck into his grandparents’ driveway in the middle of the night.

This is not a story about a teenager sneaking home in the middle of the night. It’s about a 10-year-old showing up for work at 4 a.m. on the family dairy farm outside Spring Valley, Wisconsin. Hard work had been the rule, not the exception, in that family for decades. By the glow of his headlights, young Hinzman watched the embodiment of that work ethic crawling across the icy, sloping driveway.
