Suppose to be an excellent blocker, which is a high priority at this point.

It most certainly is. Thurman is a huge receiving threat that could develop his blocking, but for next year this is the best bet to set the edge like Vannett and Heureman used to. Add Howard and I think this is a deliberate beat ttun next year formula by smashing them back. And I like it. Nice pickup.

PLAYING FOR OHIO STATE “A DREAM COME TRUE” FOR FORMER OHIO TIGHT END WILL KACMAREK, WHO ALWAYS BELIEVED HE COULD PLAY AT HIGHEST LEVEL​



Kacmarek has nothing but good things to say about his time in Athens. But he chose to enter the transfer portal after his redshirt sophomore season because he believed he could play in a major conference.

“I'm trying to play the best football as possible. I'm trying to be the best player as possible. So I think that was just in the back of my head, knowing that I believe that I can be at this level,” Kacmarek said.

That belief was quickly validated when Kacmarek received a call from Keenan Bailey and Ohio State.

Kacmarek said he also heard from several other Big Ten and SEC schools who were interested in adding him to their teams. But it didn’t take long for Kacmarek to decide he wanted to be a Buckeye. Just two days after entering the portal, Kacmarek announced his commitment to Ohio State.

“It's a dream come true,” Kacmarek said this week in his first interview session as a Buckeye. “Ever since I've been young, it's been a dream to play at the highest level. And now that I'm here now, it's real exciting. I'm pumped for this opportunity.”
