Max Riley brings rare interior-line upside and OSU pedigree
Max Riley is a 2026 freshman offensive lineman at Ohio State who arrived as a four-star, top-10 Ohio recruit and the nation’s No. 7 interior offensive lineman, which says a lot about his ceiling before he even takes meaningful snaps. In the 2026 season, he’s viewed as a versatile interior piece with strong work ethic, real punch at contact, and the kind of size-and-athleticism blend that could make him a multi-year starter. He’s also a shot-put standout, which hints at the explosive lower-body power coaches love in a guard.
