Second scrimmage update

Read from another person with some good insight on Buckeye Huddle (he was the first to say he heard about Siereveld being LT before camp kicked off):
Sayin looked really good, Lincoln made a couple of “wow” throws, but also made some bad ones. Expect Sayin to be named starter soon.
OL was consistently from left to right: Siereveld-Montgomery-Hinzman-Tegra-Daniels. Looks like Onianwa will be the swing 6th OL.

I know people have been asking, so I wanted to post a few things that I heard from Saturday. I'll add more as I hear and others can do the same.
It sounds like Julian Sayin put together another good scrimmage after doing so a week ago. I think he's found the type of consistency they've been looking for to match his ceiling. Monday's press conference should be interesting. I think he's starting to pull ahead. I still think there is confidence in Lincoln Kienholz, but Sayin is looking the part from my understanding.
Offensive line was highlighted to me. The first-team still seems to be (from left to right) Siereveld, Montgomery, Hinzman, Tshabola and Daniels. I'll have more on them in my notebook later, but Daniels has been a surprise this camp with his improvement. Oniwana is still competing at guard and could still win the job at right tackle.
Run game was described as "strong." That was all I got on that but that seems positive.
Based on a combination of things I've heard, I would say the defense is ahead of the offense at this point. Probably not a huge surprise but that could be the strength early.
If I can get more, I will post.

The buzz continues to grow around Ohio Statetrue freshman cornerback Devin Sanchez. But don't take our word for it. Just listen to what his teammates and coaches say about the No. 1 corner recruit in the country from the 2025 class, according to 247Sports.
"Devin Sanchez, he don't move like a freshman," senior cornerback Davison Igbinosun said after Tuesday's practice. "He don't move like a freshman corner. He seems very like, ready."
Igbinosun believes Sanchez will make an immediate impact in what is a very talented OSU secondary.
"I do, yes," Igbinosun said. "So, you know how you see young corners come in and they're kind of like floating and sinking; like trying to find their way? I don't see that with Devin Sanchez. He seems poised for the big-time moments."
The leader of the secondary is junior safety Caleb Downs, who knows something about playing right away as a true freshman. He was Alabama's leading tackler in 2023 with 107 stops (70 solo) and was named the SEC's Freshman of the Year. Downs is very serious about football and does not throw around compliments lightly. But he's been impressed with Sanchez.
"He's extremely talented and he's progressed a lot since the spring," Downs said. "And I know he's going to do what he's supposed to do when he gets his chance."

Secondary coach/co-defensive coordinator Tim Walton recruited Sanchez, so he's not surprised that the Houston-area native is turning heads. On Tuesday, Walton explained what he has been preaching to the 6-foot-2, 198-pound Sanchez the most.
"Work hard, focus on the details, learn the game," Walton said. "When you get in the game, there's a lot of stuff thrown at you. So, we always focus on technique, fundamentals, understanding the game, doing the little things right. So, that's the only thing I focus on right now with him. We're still a young group, so I like to make sure I emphasize that. And that's my only focus with Devin right now.
"And that's with all the young guys, you know what I mean? We have to make sure we're good at fundamental football. So, that's the main emphasis right now, getting better every day at the little things."
Walton is not going to make any grand proclamations about a true freshman cornerback who has not yet played a collegiate game. But you can tell he's very excited about Sanchez, who will wear the No. 6 for the Buckeyes this season.
"He's been here, he's had a chance to go through the offseason program and go through spring ball," Walton said. "He had a chance to understand the defense and physically is maturing a little bit and getting adjusted to college life. So, he's taking a big step forward in that aspect."

I think our secondary will be better than last year. 3rd year Downs and 4th year IGB will improve from last year. Matthews will be better than Burke. And there’s a lot of optimism with McClain and Hartford that I don’t think there will be a big drop off from Ransom. Plus you add Sanchez and Aaron Scott rotating in, along with Bryce West, man we’re loaded (pause) in the secondary.The buzz continues to grow around Ohio Statetrue freshman cornerback Devin Sanchez.
