Every year following Ohio State spring football we recap what happened position by position. Who stepped up, who stepped back, what got fixed, and what didn’t? With 12 of the 15 spring practices cancelled due to the pandemic, however, essentially nothing happened, nothing got fixed, nobody stepped up, and no questions got answered.
Yesterday, Tom and I were taking part in a teleconference about water coolers when I mentioned to him that a better version of a water cooler would have Diet Dr. Pepper in it. Unfortunately, what I said went over the entire call, enraging the various water cooler salesmen who were trying to up-sell us on their latest and greatest wares.
Jonah Jackson came to Ohio State as a graduate transfer from Rutgers. He didn’t arrive on the OSU campus until the summer, but soon after his arrival he was running with the first team and before long became a team leader. His ability to integrate into the offensive line room spoke volumes of both Jackson and the rest of the linemen who welcomed him…
Freshman C Harry Miller discussed his growth and development, as well as some of his other interests. Those include Nicaraguan politics (really!), life as a mechanical engineering major, and more.

Harry Miller came to Ohio State from Buford High School in Buford, Georgia, where he was a 5-star offensive line prospect and the No. 2 center in the nation per the 247Sports Composite.

On day four of Ohio State’s fall camp, a group comprised mostly of freshmen offensive linemen were off practicing on their own.
Twenty yards away, the first and second-team offensive lines were working together. Among them was true freshman center Harry Miller. Miller certainly came to Ohio State with premier recruiting accolades as one of the nation’s top high school centers, but he only arrived in June, which usually means August is a Scarlet and Gray blur.
The Ohio State recruiting class of 2019 hit a milestone today, as its first two summer enrollees said goodbye to their black stripes. Thursday, offensive lineman Harry Miller and wide receiver Jameson Williams became the first freshmen to go from black to scarlet in fall camp.
Any time a college football team signs a 5-star recruit, the expectations for that player generally include immediate contributions. This can be difficult for some positions, like quarterback and offensive line. Quarterbacks need to have enough of an understanding to lead an offense, while linemen have to be strong enough to hold up…
Ohio State started a pair of fifth-year seniors last year at guard in Malcolm Pridgeon and Demetrius Knox, which means that they must now both be replaced.
