Ohio State '20 IN OL (RS JR) - Josh Fryar

• Fryar said it hasn’t been hard for him to switch from right tackle to left tackle because he has experience lining up all over the offensive line and playing the Bison role as a sixth offensive lineman.
• On protecting the quarterback’s blind side: “I feel like it’s a huge responsibility, but I’m willing to take that responsibility.” He said it’s an “extreme honor” to be trusted with that responsibility.
• Fryar said his first three years at Ohio State have been “rough” between COVID-19 impacting the 2020 season, tearing his ACL in 2021 and waiting his turn to start last season, but he believes he grew a lot last year and said having to wait for his chance to start has made him “a lot more hungry.”

 

Josh Fryar has seen the concerns about Ohio State’s offensive tackles this year. That’s only giving him more motivation to prove he’s ready to start at left tackle. https://t.co/tUt8DM5Zcr

There's been no official announcement, but Josh Fryar believes he is the #Buckeyes' starting left tackle this season.

“I think coach Day said it takes 10,000 reps to become comfortable at that and I think I’ve exceeded that amount of reps.”https://t.co/XvHFVo3gFQ pic.twitter.com/QLUK9RpeS4
