Putting in some work, strong af

Given the 'apparent' lack of tOSU participation in the OL portal recruitments, are one or all of the above guys good enough/ready enough to compete at the B10 level? Always thought that QB and OL needed time to 'season' and/or learn position. Certainly OL needed time to mold their bodies, build strength, learn blocking schemes, etc before they were put into the fire. PS, Day cannot afford to have a mediocre OL enlistment from the portal this year, given last year's bust(s). And 2025's performance on the field. Surprising, since our OL went up some pretty darn good DE's on a daily basis. Go Bucks!

Better Know a Buckeye: Sam Greer’s Massive NFL-Ready Size Could Allow Him to Be Next Prototypical Left Tackle at Ohio State​

Scouting Report​

While the Buckeyes have had some problems consistently landing pure offensive tackle prospects in past cycles, Greer is the exact archetype one would look for as a prospect at the position.

At 6-foot-7 and 335 pounds, Greer possesses not only the size but also the violence, strength, and quick hands to dominate opposing defensive linemen. Greer's quickness allows him to get to the second level with ease as a run blocker while he’s also an excellent pass blocker.

His initial punch and quickness off the line give him the initial leverage, while his hand-fighting ability, size, wide base and combativeness allow him to block all types of defensive linemen, no matter their strength(s).

Depth Chart Outlook​

While most offensive linemen need a season or two of development and strength training before they are ready to contribute regularly at the collegiate level, Greer has the size and physical attributes to contend for immediate playing time. That said, with Ohio State returning four of five starters on the offensive line, including left tackle Austin Siereveld, the top of the depth chart is close to being locked in heading into the 2026 season.

Greer can continue to develop his game while adding muscle to his already elite size, as he will likely start his Ohio State career as either the second- or third-string left tackle. Then, he will compete with tackles such as Carter Lowe to take over for Siereveld and solidify the left side of the offensive line in his second season as a Buckeye in 2027.
