Stock Up/Down: Kye Stokes, Evan Pryor and Jordan Hancock turn heads while Julian Fleming and Mitchell Melton see their momentum stalled by injuries.
Of course, their ability to block may be even more important than their pass-catching skills as far as their usage in the Buckeye offense is concerned, but both players impressed in the spring game, which is a good sign on its own.Julian Fleming has now been on Ohio State campus for more than three years, but he still has yet to play a snap in a spring game.
What is significant, though, is that Emeka Egbuka and Marvin Harrison Jr. continue to make the most of the reps they’re getting as first-teamers in the Buckeye offense, which only makes the competition for a starting role all the more difficult for Fleming.
Knowles said after the game he didn’t know what Melton’s status was as of yet, but given the time he missed last season, it could be cause for concern for a player that had been gaining steam fast early in the offseason.It’s been a repeated lament of Ryan Day’s this spring, and the Buckeyes’ lack of offensive line depth was evident at times in Saturday’s exhibition.
The Buckeye offensive line also committed three penalties during the scrimmage. Noah Potter, who has yet to record a sack in a regulation game at the college level, finished with a pair on Saturday. Depth up front will be an area to improve on for the Buckeyes moving forward, although getting several contributors back healthy should help in that regard before the fall.
