Which current Ohio State player is poised to have a breakout year in 2017?

Reid Fragel began his Ohio State career as a mediocre tight end, remaining in that position for three years until moving to right tackle in Urban Meyer’s first year as head coach. Fragel went on to have such an impact that, just a year into swapping positions, Fragel was drafted by the Cincinnati Bengals in the seventh round of the 2013 NFL Draft. His improvement and the addition of his skillset to the offensive line proved to be an important contributor to the 2012 team going undefeated. Meyer later commented that there would be a “Fragel award” for such players who showed significant improvement from one year to the next.
