The Buckeyes’ challenging opener means the team’s new players and lineup combinations must jell quickly, in time for what could be a series of close games this season.
On Friday, a potential future star running back on the Buckeyes’ roster shared his thoughts on Ohio State’s offensive line with two players mentioned as training camp standouts.
“(Ohio State running back) James Peoples said there are a lot of Ohio State offensive linemen who have stood out during preseason camp, namely Austin Siereveld and Minnesota transfer Philip Daniels,” reporter Chase Brown of ElevenWarriors.com wrote.
Siereveld played in 16 games with the Bucks last season and started six games for coach Ryan Day’s team.

He has the flexibility to play both the left and right guard spots and played right tackle in the 2025 Spring Game, showcasing his versatility.
Daniels is a native of the Cincinnati area who stands 6-foot-5 and could be the best newcomer on the Buckeyes’ offensive line this season.
He played in 12 games for the Minnesota Golden Gophers last year and spent two years with PJ Fleck’s program before getting the call to transfer to Ohio State.
He is expected to battle Ethan Onianwa and others for playing time and has three years of eligibility remaining.

The Peoples comments came as Ohio State was ranked surprisingly low in Greg McElroy’s preseason rankings. Meanwhile, Michigan fans began calling out the Buckeyes for allegedly stealing a program slogan.
The Buckeyes have a chance to continue their winning ways on August 30 in what should be a memorable slate of college football action. With so much to play for this season from August to November and beyond, these two linemen will be worth keeping an eye on as the Ohio State’s season progresses toward what fans hope will bring more championship trophies to the Buckeye State.
