BREAKING Ohio St. center Seth McLaughlin Injured at practice today

[JustNeedMe81]

" Confirmed. Ohio State’s starting Center and best offensive lineman, Seth McLaughlin, tore his Achilles in practice today and is out for the year. "

 

[crimsonaudio]

Hate that for him.

 

[rolltide_21]

Oh man that stinks. Hope he has a full recovery.

"Best lineman"? is that satire or for realsies?

 

[Jack Bourbon]

Apparently he fixed the yips and was doing well. Achilles, horrible

That's real. Even with Booker, he was probably our best IOL blocking (i.e. not considering whatever the heck was going on with snaps) simply because he was more versatile in being able to execute at multiple levels and in multiple approaches equally as well whether it was power, zone or gap. He's got an exceptional feel for combo blocks as well; knowing how long to hold at the first level before going to the next.

Really hate the young man is injured. Not sure if he has any more eligibility to try to make another run, otherwise it's probably going to drop his draft grade down without much of a chance to recover.

I hate to hear that, hope he has a full recovery.

I had Achilles tendinitis repair with a donor tendon in January, then full tendon rupture and donor tendon tore out in March with another surgery in April. This is one injury I wouldn’t wish on anyone. Hopefully his youth and tier one orthopedic surgeons can give him a full recovery.

For real.

This was a rare case of a transfer improving both teams. I regret his injury for him extremely.

 

[davefrat]

That's awful for him.

 

[cdub55]

The way he was treated after the Michigan game, I can't blame the guy for transferring. I hope he has a speedy and successful recovery.

Not sure that is 100% true. If he had stayed and moved over to guard with Brailsford at center I think we would have seen a much better O-Line here, especially in those early season games.

Some people would still blame bad snaps on him if he played guard or tackle.

Not me...anything bad that happens with Alabama I instantly and always blame Dennis Franchione.

I don't know what the problem was between he and Milroe. But since the two no longer work together we haven't had snap issues and Seth didn't have them at OSU. So the problem had to be between them. It just wasn't a good fit.

I think it was probably a yips type deal. A reset elsewhere helped him I think

Sorry to hear for the young man....

We will find out on a podcast in about six to ten years.

Yep, I think we'll find out a lot about the 2023 team at some point.
