Good evening Bucknuts subscribers! There is plenty going on with Ohio State football recruiting so let’s get started! I will of course have plenty more throughout the night and tomorrow.
1) Now that the dust has cleared in regards to which Ohio State players are leaving for the NFL and who is staying, the offensive line has come more into focus. Tackles Thayer Munford and Nicholas Petit-Frere are back which is a very strong start. Harry Miller, the starting left-guard is also back, though I have long said that I expect Miller to be the Buckeyes’ starting center when Josh Myers leaves which has happened with Myers headed for the NFL. I continue to expect Miller to be the guy at center next season for the Buckeyes.
Miller had to move to center for the Michigan State game as the Ohio State offensive line was hit hard by Covid. Snaps were shaky initially for Miller, but he improved as the game went on. What most people didn’t realize is that Miller was primarily a tackle and played some guard in high school. He played very little center before arriving at Ohio State, his most experience was when he started at that position in the All-American Bowl. Miller was the back-up center to Myers when Miller was a freshman, but moved to guard this season. To then move back to center and step in against Michigan State with all of the bullets flying so to speak like Miller had to do is not an easy task. In fact, it is very difficult. And as the game went on Miller got better and better. He was a part of an offensive line that helped the Buckeyes score 52 points against the Spartans and rack up 521 yards of total offense including 322 rushing.
Though Miller was a left-tackle coming out of high school he was projected as an interior lineman in college and was ranked as the country’s No. 2 center in the final 247Sports rankings his senior year. Miller is very smart and a very hard worker and I look for him to be a very good center next season for the Buckeyes.
