Most intriguing transfer portal options at guard

Most intriguing transfer portal options at guard #GoBucks

We already broke down our expectations for how Ohio State could handle the quarterback position and then dived into the possible running backs and recently covered the wide receiver position (if things break a certain way), tight ends, and offensive tackle, but now we need to discuss one of everyone’s favorite positions, guard.

I read the social media comments and I get it, Ohio State fans understand the importance of adding offensive line talent and as noted from the offensive tackle list, there is only one guy left on that list that would provide any kind of improvement, but perhaps there are more options on the interior side of the line.

It is pretty clear the Buckeyes are going to add talent to the offensive line from the portal, but the biggest questions are who and when?

In my opinion, there is a high likelihood that Ohio State will add two offensive linemen from the portal with one coming during this current opening and the other during spring, but we will see. The following are the five most intriguing guard options in the transfer portal.

Toledo OL Vinny Sciury schedules visit with Auburn

Scuiry was one of the nation’s best pass blockers in 2023 according to Pro Football Focus.

Auburn football is looking to boost its passing efficiency by adding wide receivers and possibly another quarterback from the transfer portal. The Tigers are also trying to add protection for pass plays to develop correctly.

 According to a report by Christian Clemente of Auburn Undercover, former Toledo offensive lineman [autotag]Vinny Sciury[/autotag] is set to visit the Plains this weekend.

Sciury was considered to be the No. 67 overall recruit from Ohio during the 2020 recruiting cycle, and the No. 113 overall guard according to 247Sports. However, the Massillon, Ohio native has boosted his stock in the four seasons that he has been a part of the Toledo Rockets’ roster.

Sciury was the Rockets’ top-graded pass blocker this season according to Pro Football Focus, with a grade of 89.4, which ranks No. 12 nationally. He was second on the team in snaps with 838, and he was involved in 378 plays where quarterback pressure could occur. He performed well in those situations by allowing just one sack and seven total quarterback pressures.

Auburn had great success in boosting its offensive line last season through the transfer portal and is looking to continue that success this season. Auburn has added JUCO offensive line transfer Seth Wilfred to its 2024 class and has also hosted Memphis OL [autotag]Mack Pounders[/autotag] for a visit.
