Tyler Bowen has added some quality depth to Ohio State's offensive trenches.

Former West Virginia offensive lineman Justin Terry committed to Ohio State on Saturday, beefing up the Buckeyes' depth at offensive tackle.



Terry spent one season with the Mountaineers and is from Pickerington, Ohio. He'll have four years of eligibility remaining. He was a three-star prospect in the 2024 recruiting class. Once he entered the transfer portal, he didn't want to play for any other team than his hometown Buckeyes, and now will get to develop under Bowen's tutelage in Columbus.

At 6-foot-5 and 338 pounds, Terry is likely to play offensive tackle at Ohio State, though he could also play guard. He redshirted in his freshman year at West Virginia, so with the lack of experience, it's unlikely he sees significant playing time for the Buckeyes in his first season.

Ohio State has been on the hunt for offensive line depth since the spring transfer portal opened, considering it was only at 14 scholarship linemen.

[Go Bucks!!!]

You can’t teach size… I hope he’s ready to work his way up the depth chart.

Welcome to the Buckeye Family, Justin!!

 

[Captain Buckeye]

Very good size and from the Columbus area… interesting kid.

Welcome back to Ohio!

 

[RB07OSU]

At the very least this should provide really nice depth on the OL. Won't probably play much this year, but after a year of development he could be competing for a spot in the coming years. Welcome back home Justin!

I'm counting 9 now I believe for depth on the line that we'll be ok with. Anyone agree with that or have a different number?
