Massive Buckeye lineman with a resilient backstory
Steve Rehring was a 6-foot-8, 345-pound Ohio State offensive lineman whose value came from size, toughness, and versatility, starting multiple games at both guard spots in the 2007 season after overcoming a major illness that wiped out most of his freshman year and cost him 30 pounds. Reliable team coverage notes he entered 2008 with 23 career starts and had become a proven veteran presence for the Buckeyes, the kind of physical, battle-tested trench player coaches trust when the games get nasty.
