Phillip Daniels

Dean Kindig

Earned PFF's highest grade among the Buckeyes' OL in the Texas game for shutting down Colin Simmons; Colin Simmons reportedly called Daniels "trash" between plays in the second quarter, and on the very next play, Simmons ripped Daniels' helmet off after the play was over, drawing a crucial 15-yard facemask penalty. The penalty extended a drive that resulted in the game's first touchdown, setting a physical tone for Ohio State's offensive line.

Carter Smith

Dean Kindig

Best pass blocking grade after not allowing any Iowa pressures in scouted win. Trusting the Process started playing tackle in third grade, and joined a travel squad in middle school. Some balance and lean issues Kromer can fix. Favorite song is from Footloose: Holding Out For a Hero by Bonnie Tyler. Sparks: "one of the most reliable trench players in the class, even with some length questions that will need answering.".
