Just a schlub from Y-town
Granted it was against TCU, but he looked sharp. He looked like OSU fans thought he would look like in the Scarlet & Gray.

Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.
Former Ohio State Buckeye looks like a star with new college football team he transferred to in exciting debut
Former Ohio State TE Jelani Thurman looks like he found the perfect home after leaving Columbus if his first game in the ACC means anything.

Thurman hauled in four receptions for 94 receiving yards in his Tar Heels debut, a Week 0 win over TCU in Dublin, Ireland, that put his name on the map in the ACC if it wasn’t already.

Definitely. OSU's offense never fit him. He was never going to be a blocking TE, and he needed an offense that would feature him. OSU will never have an offense where the TE is a consistent target. They will primarily block and catch the occasional first down or TE or something in traffic. But a big game for an OSU TE is 3-4 catches in a game. And thats not consistent, that may be the most he has in 4-5gms.
He'll be fun to watch in an offense that utilizes him a lot in the passing game.

Yeah, Ohio State definitely likes "blocking TEs" that can catch the ball. He was here for 3 years waiting his turn and Ohio State kept bringing in transfers (like Will Kacmarek and then Max Klare) that leap frogged him on the depth chart. Apparently blocking wasn't his forte; if it was he probably would (at least) have been used more on specular teams.
