Ohio State offensive lineman misses practice

Ohio State football kicked off its first day of camp on Thursday and most of the focus was on the quarterback battle between Devin Brown and incoming Kansas State transfer, Will Howard. A bit more focus was spent on the receivers and star freshman, Jeremiah Smith, but what should be making more news is the absence of a returning starter on the offensive line.

Carson Hinzman missed the first day of camp due to an “illness” according to head coach, Ryan Day. Hinzman is not expected to be the starter this season due to the arrival of incoming Alabama transfer, Seth McLaughlin, but that doesn’t mean he won’t have a role or won’t even start at another spot.

Although I am confident the Buckeyes will be rock solid at offensive line, most pundits view this positional group a mystery and a guy like Hinzman could use every rep.
