Ohio State hasn’t even completed its 2019 season and already the offense has received a boost for 2020.
According to Spencer Holbrook with Lettermen Row, three key offensive linemen are expected to return for the 2020 season. All-American guard Wyatt Davis and starting center Josh Myers are reportedly returning next season and passing on the NFL Draft. Both players are redshirt sophomores.

The third player mentioned by Holbrook as likely to return to Ohio State is starting left tackle Thayer Munford. Holbrook writes that Munford, a junior, did not submit his name for draft advice:
Sources indicated to Lettermen Row that Munford didn’t submit his name for draft advice, either, likely hinting at a return for the veteran starter as well.
Obviously, the focus at Ohio State is still finishing this season with a national championship. However, next season also looks good for the Buckeyes on the offensive side of the ball.

It seems likely Ohio State will lose running back J.K. Dobbins to the NFL, along with senior receivers K.J. Hill, Binjimen Victor, and Austin Mack. However, with QB Justin Fields returning, along with some talented receivers and offensive linemen, the offense should be in good hands moving forward.
