Seth McLaughlin was back at practice just one day after his season-ending injury and Ryan Day expects McLaughlin to continue to be a valuable leader for Ohio State.
Seth McLaughlin won’t be able to play another snap for Ohio State this season, but he isn’t letting that stop him from continuing to help the Buckeyes however he can.
“He knows these guys well. He knows what's going on in terms of the calls and knows the dynamics,” Day said. “It's one thing to have a coach. It's another thing to have a player or a peer that you can go to for certain things. There's some things you can talk to your coach about that are easier to talk to another player about. Just about preparation, guys who have been through it, been through it this year, know the team dynamics, things like that.
Ohio State safety Lathan Ransom, who was in a similar position to McLaughlin last year when his season was cut short by a Lisfranc injury in his foot suffered in Ohio State’s eighth game of the season against Wisconsin, said it meant a lot to him and his teammates that McLaughlin was back at practice so soon after his injury.
Senior left tackle Donovan Jackson, whose veteran presence on Ohio State’s offensive line becomes even more important now that McLaughlin and original starting left tackle Josh Simmons are both out for the season, said McLaughlin isn’t just a great player but an incredible person. And the rest of the Buckeyes’ offensive linemen will look to emulate McLaughlin both on and off the field as their season continues.
