True freshman offensive tackle Dawand Jones turns heads every time he steps out on the football field. Standing at 6 foot 8 inches tall, weighing 360 pounds, the former three star recruit from Indianapolis looks more like the ‘Incredible Hulk‘ than a football player.
More than just his size however, his recent play has had me wondering if Dawand is the Buckeyes future at left tackle. Injuries to starter Thayer Munford and backup swing tackle Josh Alabi made room for Jones to see action last Friday night vs. Northwestern.
Jones proceeded to pancake half of Northwestern’s defensive line to open up a gap the size of the Cumberland to spring Master Teague’s 73 yard touchdown run.
