OT: Alabama transfer center Seth McLaughlin is expected to make a visit to Ohio State this weekend
Alabama transfer center Seth McLaughlin is expected to make a visit to Ohio State this weekend, a source tells On3Sports. Not on campus yet. He's played in 36 career games and made 25 starts with the Crimson Tide.
I really, really, really hope this happens.
January 4th, 2024 at 11:48 AM ^
Yes please!
January 4th, 2024 at 11:49 AM ^
I imagine he'd be useful as a guard?
January 4th, 2024 at 11:51 AM ^
No, he'd be more useful to us playing center for OSU.
January 4th, 2024 at 11:52 AM ^
With Day as the head coach :)
January 4th, 2024 at 12:01 PM ^
What did you see from his pass pro that makes you think he would be useful as a Guard?
Man, I hope this guy picks Ohio State.
January 4th, 2024 at 12:59 PM ^
In support of your question: He graded out in the low 40's vs us in the Rose Bowl. Not great.
January 4th, 2024 at 12:42 PM ^
A quick pitch FROM 3rd base?
January 4th, 2024 at 11:49 AM ^
Maybe he can get on their basketball team as well.
January 4th, 2024 at 12:01 PM ^
As a guard or as a center?
January 4th, 2024 at 3:44 PM ^
Point tackle
January 4th, 2024 at 10:04 PM ^
already mastered the bounce pass
January 4th, 2024 at 11:49 AM ^
The gift that keeps on giving.
January 4th, 2024 at 2:10 PM ^
He enjoyed facing Mason Graham so much the first time he wants to do it again. Freak!
Thank you sir, may I have another?
January 4th, 2024 at 11:50 AM ^
Imagine him trying to snap it in the snow in November...
January 4th, 2024 at 11:52 AM ^
Has he seen snow on football fields?
January 4th, 2024 at 12:17 PM ^
Hopefully he won't have a cold or flu, that could be disastrous for them.
January 4th, 2024 at 11:54 AM ^
this must be satire
January 4th, 2024 at 11:57 AM ^
Cmon.
April 1st isn't for a few months.
January 4th, 2024 at 11:57 AM ^
We may get to see bad snaps again? And it'll be for OSU?
January 4th, 2024 at 11:58 AM ^
Could be a good guard but since Ryan Day would be his coach I’m 99% sure they’re going to trot him out at QB
January 4th, 2024 at 11:58 AM ^
he wants to lose to us, again?
January 4th, 2024 at 12:03 PM ^
OSU has a bowling team?
January 4th, 2024 at 12:11 PM ^
Apologies
THE
Ohio State Bowling Team
January 4th, 2024 at 12:18 PM ^
I thought WE were that team up north, not them???
January 4th, 2024 at 12:19 PM ^
....or is that the directional ohio state university, in Toledo, as opposed to THEEEEE ohio state university in columbus.
January 4th, 2024 at 12:28 PM ^
Their signs are way too easy to steal.
January 4th, 2024 at 2:29 PM ^
I don't know what I expected ohio state bowling shirts to look like, but a sideways skyline of Cbus that ends up looking like a bad design from the 80s wasn't on my radar for some reason.
January 4th, 2024 at 12:05 PM ^
Please do.
January 4th, 2024 at 12:06 PM ^
I'm not saying this was or was not a factor for McLaughlin, or in the case of Kyle McCord transferring away from OSU, but the coincidence of easy transfers plus toxic fanbases with easy access to players via social media seems like a very bad combo.
I'm sure players have heard plenty of awful things from both opposing and their own fans over the years. God knows that Black athletes from George Jewett through the Fab 5 and Devin Gardner heard awful slurs. But I have to imagine that there is a difference in what you hear and internalize on the field, or through spittle-covered letters in the mail, and what today's guys have to go through just to be on X/Instagram/TikTok or whatever they're on. Without actually looking, I can guarantee some Bama yahoo blamed the loss on McLaughlin, which is unfair and unkind. I'm sure it sucks and I feel for these kids, and I understand why they would rather just get out of the situation rather than take the abuse.
January 4th, 2024 at 12:21 PM ^
I imagine it came more from his own team and coaches. Nobody talking to him after the game or on the flight home. He hit the portal as soon as the flight landed.
January 4th, 2024 at 12:07 PM ^
If the fan base at Alabama was difficult to bare welcome to Columbus...
January 4th, 2024 at 12:15 PM ^
Yes, please!
January 4th, 2024 at 12:17 PM ^
Couple him with a 5' tall QB and they may be on to something.
January 4th, 2024 at 12:17 PM ^
lol
lmao even
January 4th, 2024 at 12:19 PM ^
Wow, he likes getting his ass whooped by Mason Graham, I guess.
January 4th, 2024 at 12:19 PM ^
Waiting for tomorrow's post to be "Seth McLaughlin signs Connor Stalions as his agent"
January 4th, 2024 at 12:20 PM ^
ha, ok
January 4th, 2024 at 12:22 PM ^
I feel like this is the start of OSU collecting everyone with a grudge against Michigan in an attempt to form a supervillain collective.
January 4th, 2024 at 12:50 PM ^
'spectre', but for CFB, not james bond
January 4th, 2024 at 12:23 PM ^
desperate times call for desperate measures
January 4th, 2024 at 12:23 PM ^
I'm sure this will go over really well with Buckeye fans lol...
January 4th, 2024 at 12:30 PM ^
Glutton for punishment. This is the last place he should go.
Toxic fan base and environment. Marginal OL coaching.
He will get blistered before he arrives on campus.
January 4th, 2024 at 12:37 PM ^
This is wild. I assume he just decided this after the game, since you wouldn't expect the starting center on a playoff team to transfer.
I feel bad for him if the backlash has been that bad. But if I were looking to get away from that, OSU is about the last place I'd transfer.
He might want to give McCord a call.
January 4th, 2024 at 12:43 PM ^
He's just visiting because he thinks he'll be able to use Zach Smith's old ball lifter to help get his snaps up.
January 4th, 2024 at 12:46 PM ^
Please, Ryan Day. Please overthink this and take this guy.
I will happily send you all of my MgoPoints to take him.
January 4th, 2024 at 12:46 PM ^
I still feel awful for the guy, even more so now if this is what he's resorting to. Imagine things being so bad that you think you'll find refuge in Columbus.
January 4th, 2024 at 12:46 PM ^
Grant and Graham are ready to feast again.
January 4th, 2024 at 12:53 PM ^
If fan backlash drove him out he might want to check out 11W.
January 4th, 2024 at 1:00 PM ^
Dear sir,
Grant and Graham will be a year older and a year more ingrained in Herbert's S&C program.
If you thought last week was bad....
