Welcome to Buckeyes Nation Ethan!!!

He’s played mostly RT at Rice, and could be next year’s starter on the right side. I’m not sure we have the answer for next year’s starter at LT yet.

Hot Damn! Welcome to Columbus, kid!

To clarify his position, per AG:

Ethan is LT and Daniel’s is RT.
I can still see OSU landing one more potentially to go with the guys they have

Feeling muuuuuuch better about next year's OL

 

[Bill Lucas]

Yep. Montgomery and Padilla seem poised to start and Hinzman will be good. Get those bookends and some depth and they’ll be just fine.

And Sievold (sp)

 

[Jaxbuck]

Get one or two more for depth.

Humor me.

I liked the NW guy because he also played Tackle. Would give us a backup plan.
