Nothing’s official quite yet.
Next week, with just days separating him from Ohio State’s Oct. 24 season opener against Nebraska, head coach Ryan Day plans to sit down with offensive line coach Greg Studrawa to set the five-man starting lineup. Together, they’ll determine who else could get meaningful reps up front in the season’s first game.
But as of now, redshirt sophomore Nicholas Petit-Frere has the edge on freshman Paris Johnson and sophomore Dawand Jones to start at right tackle.
“I would say that Nick, right now, is taking most of the reps with the ones,” Day said on Tuesday afternoon.
