Offensive Line Recruiting Updates
“We've got Sam Greer in the boat, Carter Lowe. You've got to have those big tackle sides. These past two years we're used to seeing essentially guards go out and play tackle for us.”
“You sign a high schooler, you give him half a million dollars, he shows up. And you can kind of see that he's probably not going to be contributing his sophomore year anymore. You're letting him go. Well, that's $500,000 gone down the drain.”
“The Buckeyes are going to be ponying up for this defensive line class and Larry Johnson will be sticking around for this defensive line class.”
