DAWAND JONES NOT EXPECTED TO REDSHIRT DUE TO UNEXPECTED RISE AS OHIO STATE FRESHMAN OFFENSIVE TACKLE

108036_h.jpg


The first time Dawand Jones stepped onto the field as a Buckeye, special teams coach Matt Barnes had no care in the world about his future as an offensive lineman. All Barnes wanted from the 6-foot-8, 360-pound first-year offensive tackle was to help Ohio State block a field goal.

It happened against Cincinnati in the second week of the season, though Jones wasn’t the one to get his hand on the football. Chase Young blocked a kick for the first time in his career. Yet that was almost less interesting than the mere presence of Jones.

A similar situation played out on Friday, when Master Teague scampered for a career-long 73-yard touchdown that got overshadowed by Jones, who made a key block by using all of his weight to move a Northwestern defensive lineman and open up a running lane.

If there was ever a kid I was certain would redshirt it was Dewand. That he might not in a season where he is clearly not needed speaks volumes.

Ditto, this is pretty remarkable. I think the coaches might throw him in as a 6th OL or in situations where we need brut force to move someone on the DL. If he gets engaged, it's over for whoever he gets ahold of. Stories Luke Dawand are why I love college football. 3 star that was viewed as a huge reach and project, to first OL in his class top not redshirt and plays immediately.
