Seth McLaughlin, a senior center at Ohio State, was previously a notable recruit from Alabama, helping his team win a state title during high school. After limited action in his freshman year, he gained prominence in 2021, solidifying his role on the offensive line. Following a successful tenure at Alabama, he transferred to Ohio State where he achieved significant accolades, including the prestigious Rimington Trophy for the best center. Known for his strong build and mobility, he also faces challenges like flexibility issues and recovery from an Achilles injury as he enters the draft.
McLaughlin was a freshman when Alabama won the championship in 2020, but he did not see the field. 2021 was the year that he got his first chance to start in the middle of the Crimson Tide offensive line.
McLaughlin had arguably his best season while in Columbus, winning the Rimington Trophy for the best center in the country, and was named All-Big Ten, All-American, and Academic All-American.
His stout build makes it difficult for defenders to get around him, and he exhibits good mobility to pull and make blocks at the second level.
Despite his strengths, he struggles with flexibility, short arms can lead to challenges with defenders, and he's recovering from an Achilles injury.
