Ohio State is also going through some major OL injury woes.
Ohio State has suffered a second major injury to its offensive line.
Seth McLaughlin tore his Achilles on Tuesday, according to multiple reports, and is expected to miss the remainder of the 2024 season. Per the Columbus Dispatch, McLaughlin suffered the injury during Tuesday’s practice.
Ohio State has not confirmed the reports, though Ryan Day is scheduled to meet with reporters after Wednesday’s practice.
The injury forces Ohio State to replace its starting center going into a defining stretch of its season that begins Saturday with a top-five matchup against Indiana.
McLaughlin’s injury is a massive loss for the Buckeyes as his stabilizing presence in the middle of the offensive line has been seen as one of the biggest factors in Ohio State’s improvement in the trenches this season. The Alabama transfer earned midseason All-American honors from several media outlets and started all of the Buckeyes’ first 10 games this season at center.
He’s the second starter on Ohio State’s offensive line to be sidelined by a major injury this season. Ohio State left tackle Josh Simmons went down with a season-ending knee injury in the Buckeyes’ sixth game of the year vs. Oregon.
