As the start of spring football at Ohio State approaches at March 6, Eleven Warriors is taking a position-by-position look at the competitions to come when practices begin next week.
Ohio State enters the spring with a solid core on its offensive line, returning two linemen who have started every Buckeyes game for the past two years and two additional linemen who started at least six games for the Buckeyes last year.
That said, the Buckeyes also enter this spring have to replace their two most important offensive linemen from last season.
While Michael Jordan and Isaiah Prince will be expected to lead the line as third-year starters, and Branden Bowen and Demetrius Knox could also take on leadership roles after starting games last season, the biggest questions going into this spring for Greg Studrawa’s unit is how the Buckeyes will replace Jamarco Jones at left tackle and Billy Price at center, and whether those replacement options could shake up the rest of the Buckeyes’ offensive line, as well.
