Fast-Rising 2024 Ohio Offensive Tackle Ben Roebuck Hoping for an Ohio State Offer

St. Edward High School coach Tom Lombardo remembers the moment he knew 2024 offensive tackle Ben Roebuck had arrived.

In the first two weeks of the 2021 season, the 6-foot-7, 320-pound Roebuck played for St. Edward’s junior varsity squad, but was thrown into the fire as a varsity starter in Week 3 against Mentor High School. That was no small task, as Mentor deployed Ohio’s second-highest rated player in the class of 2023: Defensive end Brenan Vernon, a Notre Dame commit. And yet, Roebuck more than held his own in St. Edward’s eventual 47-7 thrashing of Mentor.
