I am good with gifts falling from the sky. I am hoping this works out:

Price also dropped a bit of news. Joshua Alabi, a 2015 three-star defensive tackle prospect out of Cass Tech, is playing with the offensive line this spring. Apparently he's been tearing it up at left tackle.

From Eric Seger, whom you should follow on Twitter: "Josh Alabi’s killing it right now. We switched him over to the offensive line from defense. Kid’s just going. He’s playing hard."

JOSH ALABI FIGHTING FOR A SPOT AS HE ENTERS SECOND SEASON ON THE OFFENSIVE LINE

92190_h.jpg


Since Urban Meyer arrived at Ohio State, a number of Buckeyes have had success switching positions in order to earn more playing time.

This has been especially true along the offensive line, where the likes of Darryl Baldwin, Chase Farris and Billy Price have all switched from defensive to offensive line in an effort to see the field more.

All three ended up starting at least one season for the Buckeyes, and Josh Alabi is hoping to become the next player on that list.

Originally recruited as a defensive lineman, Alabi spent two years in Larry Johnson's room before making the switch to offensive line in the offseason before the 2017 season. The move was understandable considering Ohio State's crowded defensive line unit, which had as many as eight players consistently rotate during games last season.

"Coach J just told me that we have had a lot of people that played defensive line that went over to offensive line and that I looked like I would have an opportunity over there," Alabi said. "When I heard that, I knew Coach Johnson just wanted the best for me, and it just went from there."

Thayer Munford, who left in the third quarter of Saturday’s game against Minnesota, has not practiced this week. Studrawa said he hopes to have Munford back for practice before the weekend, but wasn’t sure if he will be able to overcome the hip issue that has bothered him.

If Munford is unable to play, Joshua Alabi will earn his first career start at left tackle. He entered the game for Munford when the starter left with his injury and impressed his position coach.
