OL Brady Taylor (Official Thread)

Love the kid's attitude. He's right, the C'bus kids don't seem to get the attention, nor the pub, or the minutes on the Buckeyes. Would love to see the City League reassert itself with some stars/starters on the football team. Baseball's had a few, as has basketball, but none on the football team. I'd include Upper Arlington in that mix as well. Guess all of the parents have fled the city limits to Dublin and Pickerington. Go Bucks - wherever you come from.

SPRING PREVIEW: CLOCK IS TICKING ON THESE FIVE OHIO STATE PLAYERS TO MAKE AN IMPACT ON THE PROGRAM

With roster attrition prevalent at every college football program in America in the form of NFL departures, graduation and transfers, coaches face varying degrees of separation between what they believe their team should look like and its reality. Part of that has to do with the NCAA-mandated scholarship restriction of 85.

Urban Meyer and Ohio State currently sit at 89 players on scholarship with a little more than a week left before spring practice commences at the Woody Hayes Athletic Center. They remain unconcerned with being over the limit and frankly should be — programs don't need to be at the 85 limit until the first day of class in Autumn Semester or first practice of training camp, whichever comes first.

“We will be at 85 come August when we need to be,” Director of Player Personnel Mark Pantoni said on National Signing Day.

Below are five Buckeyes that must show they can become worthy contributors in March and April in order to make sure they are still around come August.

BRADY TAYLOR, OFFENSIVE LINE
Taylor is about to enter his redshirt junior season at Ohio State and though he was listed as Pat Elflein's backup at center all season, it was pretty widely known that if anything happened to the All-American and Rimington Trophy winner that Billy Price would take over. That was pretty much affirmed with Price's move to center ahead of the 2017 season.

The Buckeyes recruited and signed Jack Wohlabaugh in 2016 with the idea that he would be the center of the future. While that appears on hold for another season with Price taking over at the position, it drops a bit of a question mark on Taylor's future.

The Columbus native worked at multiple positions during fall camp, at least that we saw in the brief times the media was allowed to view practice. He redshirted during Ohio State's 2014 national championship season and since has only seen time during blowouts. Is this the spring Taylor can assert himself and perhaps grab the open job at guard? Maybe. If he doesn't show something he is likely to get passed over once again.

OHIO STATE OFFENSIVE LINEMAN BRADY TAYLOR UNDERGOES ARTHROSCOPIC KNEE SURGERY, PER REPORT

96907_h.jpg


Ohio State interior offensive lineman Brady Taylor underwent arthroscopic knee surgery on Saturday and "hopes to be back in about four weeks," according to a report by Doug Bean of the Catholic Times.

“We have those big games down the road (against Michigan State and Michigan in late November) and I’m definitely working to get back for those,” Taylor told Bean. “I’ll come back and I can pretty much play any position on the line. If anything happens, I’ll be there to go in and take care of my job.”

Taylor, who competed for Ohio State's starting center job this offseason, began the season as the Buckeyes' backup left guard but did not play in either of the last two games. According to Bean's report, the fifth-year senior began having knee problems during fall camp in August, and "tried to play through the swelling and pain, but eventually the injured joint limited his mobility to the point that Ohio State coaches moved left guard Michael Jordan to center."

The knee didn’t improve over the next few weeks, and so, last Saturday morning, while the Buckeyes were preparing to play Tulane in Ohio Stadium, he underwent arthroscopic surgery to remove a loose piece of cartilage in the knee and repair a meniscus tear.

Taylor said Monday that he has begun rehabilitation and hopes to be back in about four weeks.

With Taylor sidelined, Michael Jordan and Josh Myers have been the top two centers on Ohio State's depth chart while Malcolm Pridgeon and Gavin Cupp have been the top two left guards.
