Ohio State freshman Dawand Jones is earning playing time, avoiding redshirt

So far, the Buckeyes have not been shy about getting their true freshman in. Six freshman have already lost their redshirt status, Garrett Wilson, Jameson Williams, Zach Harrison, Harry Miller, Craig Young and Marcus Crowley. Even the ones that were deemed long term projects are getting into games, and none are bigger (in both raw status and sheer size) than offensive tackle Dawand Jones.

The 6-foot-8, 360 pound true freshman has only been playing football for a few years, and definitely has a lot to work on in terms of technique.
