OL Jacoby Boren (2x Academic All-B1G, Academic All-American)

[TheStoicPaisano]

Stupid question.





How many reps on the bench?

Less than Holley Mangold.

But I believe Ms. Boren is only a freshman or sophomore in high school, so there's time to improve.

Freshman Jacoby Boren has been practicing full-go for two weeks and he's the No. 2 center behind Linsley. Warinner said he has all the faith in the world in him.

Not a peep about Jacoby yet this season...

Unfortunately, the second team offense hasn't seen the field since the Miami opener...hopefully that will change this weekend.

Baldwin and Decker are 6-6 in game participation because they're on the FG unit, but Farris, Underwood and Boren are stuck at 1 GP since they're strictly backup OL at the moment.

That's not to say anything negative about Jacoby as the special teams units are always going to have the short/long snap specialist over the ball.

Of course I would love to see him get some experience but it also made me notice how fortunate we have been to keep our starting OL healthy so far this season.

And on the plus side, perhaps he can get a redshirt? Everything is there for Jacoby except he could stand to put some extra pounds on (listed at 287 right now...he could play at that size but it would be nice to see him put on 5-15 pounds of good weight on). If not, I would love to see him get some time and prepare for next season. If we are to make a title run next year and have someone go down, it would be nice to have guys like Jacoby prepared with battle experience.

Nope, not for this year since he played in the opener. You'd figure that Boren would get at least some PT when possible in case Linsley gets hurt.

The youngest Boren is getting talked about more and more which gives me hope that after this year we will have a good offensive line.

Did Boren just get passed by Elflein today?

 

[TheStoicPaisano]

Today.

The staff is getting reps to guys who've earned it, but that's not an automatic bump up the depth chart.

I think they've tried at least 3 guys at the star and MIKE, for example.

Both of these guys should be starters next year.

Meyer said redshirt freshman Pat Elflein will be the first offensive lineman off the Buckeyes' bench, followed by sophomore Jacoby Boren.

What happened to the reports that Elflien passed Jacoby as the 2nd team center?
