Ohio State offensive line coach Justin Frye is going to add some pretty large feathers to his cap in April. Three from his position group, Paris Johnson Jr., Dawand Jones and Luke Wypler, are expected to hear their names called early in the NFL draft.
That clout is only going to help on the recruiting trail, not just for this cycle but also beyond. Frye will use that with Tennessee lineman Chauncey Gooden, who was recently offered a scholarship.
