Donovan Jackson says Seth McLaughlin “doesn't blink” at center, and the Alabama transfer's experience should bring a boost to Ohio State’s offensive line.
This year’s Ohio State offensive line opens the season with more than double the experience it had at this time last year.
“He doesn't blink,” Jackson said. “He's not jittery out there. He's played in about the biggest games that you can think of. So you can see his experience, his leadership at the center position, just communicating down the line and making sure everyone's on the same page.” The offensive line is one of the most developmental positions in football. Hinzman may still become a great player, but McLaughlin’s at a place now where he’s seen things before. He can make the calls. He knows how to approach his development, which is now in year five at a major college program.
“At this point, I don't feel like a new guy,” McLaughlin said. “I feel like I've been here for a while. Just with the relationship I have with the guys in the room, I don't feel new, and I think that's awesome. It's a testament to those guys welcoming me in here. I'm ready to go to work.” Ohio State’s offensive line has undoubtedly been its most criticized unit through 2023 and all of the 2024 offseason. The group as a whole is driven to improve on its results from last year and has taken said criticism to ever-so-slightly stoke theMcLaughlin is no stranger to catching flak. He had bad snaps pop up in some places last year, particularly in the loss to Michigan, and has worked to correct those slip-ups in the spring and summer.
