Without a clear-cut option to replace him in 2022, Dawand Jones' decision to return to Ohio State was a crucial one for the Buckeye offensive line.
from the class of 2019 had only started one game entering 2021, and that was as a replacement due to a COVID-19 outbreak along the Ohio State offensive line ahead of its Dec. 5, 2020 matchup with Michigan State.
Soon after, Ohio State unveiled a lineup with Petit-Frere and Jones at tackle and Munford at left guard during an open practice period in August. Studrawa said at the time that the lineup was not set in stone, but it ended up prevailing as the front five of choice for the Buckeyes, affording Jones an opportunity to shine as a full-time starter a bit earlier than most might have expected.
Ohio State gave up the 14th-fewest sacks in the country and the third-fewest in the Big Ten in 2021. But the Buckeyes had occasional issues, particularly against Michigan, when pass-rushers Aidan Hutchinson and David Ojabo had a field day against the Ohio State front. It was far from a banner performance for Jones, who took that game into consideration when mulling over his draft decision and will now use it as fuel for his senior season with the Buckeyes.
