veteran Buckeye lineman who built value the hard way
Aaron Parry has been a classic Ohio State grinder: a former walk-on who switched from defensive line to offensive line and earned his keep through versatility, toughness, and academics. In the 2016 season, he was listed at 6-foot-5, 290 pounds and had played in 23 of 25 games over his previous two seasons, including all 12 games that year, while also earning Academic All-Big Ten honors and two OSU Scholar-Athlete awards. He’s the kind of steady, team-first lineman coaches trust—more depth-and-development fit than instant-star splash.
