Justin Frye says you “can’t timestamp” naming starters, Donovan Jackson is learning to lead and Josh Fryar, Carson Hinzman, Tegra Tshabola and Zen Michalski are gaining confidence.
Ohio State's offensive line will look different without All-Big Ten honorees Paris Johnson Jr., Dawand Jones and Luke Wypler in 2023. But make no mistake, the front-line Buckeyes think of this offseason as an opportunity to reload rather than rebuild.
On Carson Hinzman, Frye said he’s impressed with how competitive he’s been in practice and that Carson is his own hardest critic. “He’s in extra film study all the time, he wants to be really good that way. He’s a high-level talent that’s just figuring out how to play at 296-pounds.” Hinzman says there was “some nervousness” about playing with the first-team Buckeyes at first, but that “after the first day, I’ve never felt more comfortable playing with the guys I do.” Hinzman says he’s leaning heavily on the rest of his offensive line and isn’t worrying about trying to be a “superstar” at this stage in his development.
Tshabola said he has tried to be more “calm” on the field this offseason, something Paris Johnson Jr. taught him as Johnson has prepared for the NFL draft in January, February and March. His initial desire as a freshman was to always be physical, but Johnson helped him learn that there is a time to be calm and a time to be violent as an offensive lineman.
