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.

Dean Kindig

No. 1-rated guard in the country on Pro Football Focus (minimum 100 snaps played) with an 82.1 mark.. Played in 11 games as a reserve offensive lineman, especially snaps after star G Luke Kandra went down. Helped a Cincinnati offense that ranked sixth in the Big 12 in total offense (420.6) and paved the way for running back Corey Kiner to rush for a second consecutive 1,000-yard season. Cincinnati finished sixth in the Big 12 in total offense. On3: "Impressive looking offensive line prospect who shocks defenders with the power in his hands and buries them with no regard for their well-being. Stands in at 6-foot-4.5, 285 pounds with a 6-foot-8 wingspan and nearly a 10-inch hand. Solid foot speed and twitch off the line of scrimmage. Comfortable in open space. Ran a solid 4.63 shuttle and jumped a 22-inch vertical during the spring camp circuit prior to his senior season. Combination of punch and understanding of leverage is a vicious combo. Threw 128-foot-8 in the discus as a junior. Dominant wrestler throughout his high school career going a combined 26-6 including an undefeated 10-0 record as a junior. Has the chance to walk in and start along the interior offensive line for almost any program in the country and potentially kick out to tackle down the road."
