Tyler Bowen has added some quality depth to Ohio State's offensive trenches.
Former West Virginia offensive lineman Justin Terry committed to Ohio State on Saturday, beefing up the Buckeyes' depth at offensive tackle.

Terry spent one season with the Mountaineers and is from Pickerington, Ohio. He'll have four years of eligibility remaining. He was a three-star prospect in the 2024 recruiting class. Once he entered the transfer portal, he didn't want to play for any other team than his hometown Buckeyes, and now will get to develop under Bowen's tutelage in Columbus.
The Terry File
- Year: Redshirt Freshman
- Size: 6-5/338
- Pos: OT
- Previous School: West Virginia (2024)
- At West Virginia: Redshirted his freshman season
At 6-foot-5 and 338 pounds, Terry is likely to play offensive tackle at Ohio State, though he could also play guard. He redshirted in his freshman year at West Virginia, so with the lack of experience, it's unlikely he sees significant playing time for the Buckeyes in his first season.
Ohio State has been on the hunt for offensive line depth since the spring transfer portal opened, considering it was only at 14 scholarship linemen.
The Buckeyes also hosted transfer offensive tackles Jaden Ball and Orion Irving on visits Friday, and would be willing to take further additions to pair with Terry. Ryan Day said following spring football he believed OSU was down two offensive linemen in terms of where they'd like to be numbers-wise, so one further addition is likely for the Buckeyes. Ball won't be an option for the Buckeyes anymore, though, as the former Purdue product signed with Minnesota on Saturday.
