Ohio State Players Seeing “Championship or Bust” Urgency, “Incredible” Leadership in Summer Workouts

Playing in a college football program with national championship expectations is nothing new for Seth McLaughlin.

While McLaughlin is in his first year at Ohio State, the Buckeyes’ new center spent the last four years at Alabama, where he played for legendary coach Nick Saban. As a redshirting freshman, McLaughlin was part of Alabama’s 2020 national championship team.

Even so, McLaughlin said the level of discipline he’s seen from his Buckeye teammates during this year’s summer workouts led by Mickey Marotti and Ohio State’s strength and conditioning staff is the best he’s ever seen in his football career.
