What we say about Munford

Munford drew rave reviews from Urban Meyer and his coaching staff before he rode off into the sunset just before Munford broke into the starting lineup. That was a couple of seasons ago, and now the 6-foot, 6-inch, 315-pounder has started 34 games and is solid at both run blocking and pass protection. He has a quick step and good anticipation on the edge, keeping Justin Fields’ blindside clean the last couple of years.

He is one of the most experienced and talented offensive lineman in the country and probably would have gone in the first three rounds of the 2021 NFL draft. Instead, Ohio State is happy to welcome him back, and his presence will no doubt help with ushering in a new quarterback this coming fall.
