No unit on an adversity-overcoming 2024 Ohio State football roster fought through more fires than its offensive line.
The unit lost midseason All-American (Josh Simmons), then Rimington Trophy winner (Seth McLaughlin) to season-ending injuries during the campaign. The base starting five received several shuffles, both from those absences and a few failed attempts to stitch a new quality front together. But the offensive line gelled one last time in December and pushed the Buckeyes to a national championship during a gritty four-game College Football Playoff run.
All but one player from last year's starting five is gone, but four contributors from that CFP climb return to fill three starting positions.
