Ohio State Coach Ryan Day Delivers Shocking Claim on Offensive Line
Ohio State Buckeyes coach Ryan Day has opened up on a potentially significant change along the offensive line.
The Ohio State Buckeyes’ offensive line was terrific last season, and two of their linemen — Donovan Jackson and Josh Simmons — ultimately ended up being first-round NFL Draft picks. Ohio State also saw a couple of its other key players run out of eligibility.
Well, the Buckeyes plucked tackle Ethan Onianwa via the transfer portal earlier in the offseason, and the general consensus has long been the that he will start at left tackle. Buckeyes fans were excited about the four-star transfer, too. But is it possible that head coach Ryan Day could actually change Onianwa’s position?
That appears to be a legitimate possibility, as sophomore Austin Siereveld — expected to be the right tackle — has been getting in some work at left tackle during fall camp.
Day was asked about Siereveld this week, and he delivered a rather surprising statement on the situation.
“He’s getting work at left right now. Now primary positions, secondary positions, these things are all in play, but we believe that he can do that, he can play left tackle for us,” Day told reporters. “We certainly know he can play guard.
Ethan, (Philip Daniels), those guys are all playing, Ian Moore. So those guys are rolling and getting a lot of reps.”
So after losing so many integral pieces in the trenches, how will Ohio State manage heading into 2025?
