Justin Frye Helping Paris Johnson Jr., Dawand Jones Maximize Potential at Tackle Before What Could Be Their Final Season at Ohio State

As far as their projected career trajectories, Justin Frye can’t quite relate to Paris Johnson Jr. and Dawand Jones.

A five-star recruit in the class of 2020, Johnson has long been pegged as a potential first-round NFL draft pick. Josh Myers once said something would have to go wrong for the Cincinnati native not to win an Outland Trophy during his collegiate tenure.

At 6-foot-8 and 360 pounds, Jones has physical gifts that make NFL scouts salivate and a year of starting experience under his belt at the highest level of college football to boot.
