Austin Siereveld

Dean Kindig

One of PFF's consistently highest-rated players in the Buckeyes' scouted games. "SAIR-uh-veld" will likely be a swing guard in the pros. Strength, power, and finesse in blocking are his trademark strengths. Siereveld has been free from injury since becoming a starter, and has practiced at LG, LT, RG, and RT in spring drills. Siereveld helped Ohio State's offense rank 7th nationally in fewest TFLs allowed per game (3.75) and 10th in fewest sacks allowed per game (1.0) --despite having played No. 7 Tennessee, No. 1 Oregon, No. 3 Texas, and No. 5 Notre Dame.
