Carson Hinzman Finding Footing at Left Guard for Ohio State Despite Plenty of Turmoil Since December​

Oh, the difference 11 months can make.

This past December, Carson Hinzman, then Ohio State’s starting center, was benched ahead of the Cotton Bowl in favor of right guard Matt Jones, who slid in to take his spot as Enokk Vimahi plugged in at Jones’ former position. The Buckeyes’ offensive line proceeded to put on perhaps its worst performance in recent memory during a 14-3 loss to Missouri.

That’s ancient history at this point. Recency bias trumps all in the hearts and minds of fans, and most recently, Hinzman swapped in at left guard to help save an offensive line that seemed to be on a downward spiral due to injury and is growing his confidence for the stretch run of the season.

“Just trusting God’s process,” Hinzman said. “I definitely did not have left guard in my mind coming into this year or last year. But just trusting the plan, trusting that I'm going to do everything I can for this team. My brothers (are playing well), I’m not gonna be petty in any way. So, just giving all I can no matter what position I play.”
