Ohio State freshman Austin Siereveld sheds black stripe

Black stripe alert! On Wednesday, freshman offensive lineman, Austin Siereveld, became the latest Buckeye to lose his black stripe. Siereveld comes to Ohio State from Middletown, Ohio, and Lakota East High School.

A three-star prospect in the 2023 class, Siereveld is said to be one of the hardest workers on the team. Standing at 6-foot, 5-inches and 320 pounds, the young lineman fits the bill for what it takes to succeed in the trenches of Big Ten football.
