Video: New Buckeye Sam Longo learned what he needs to work on at Ohio State
by Doug Lesmerises
Wednesday June 24, 2009
Ohio State has four freshmen offensive linemen in this class. If form holds, I'll guess that two will redshirt and two will not.
Jack Mewhort, who enrolled for spring ball, has a leg up on the competition, and Marcus Hall is the most highly-rated recruit among the other three, leaving Corey Linsley and Sam Longo as the more likely redshirt candidates at first blush.
Linsley said he needed to work on his technique. Longo said he needs to get stronger, believing he's behind some of his teammates in the weight room.
But there are always surprises. After standing next to the 6-foot-5 Longo and seeing his frame, he looks like he's a guy who has the ability to really muscle up. At the moment, he's a leaner athlete than Hall, who is also 6-5 but about 30 pounds heavier.
"I don't really have expectations," Longo said. "They said they need two offensive linemen to break the two-deep, and I'd like to be one of them, so I'm really preparing myself for that."
