Demetrius Knox brought size, toughness, and veteran reliability to Ohio State’s offensive line
In his final Ohio State season, Demetrius Knox was a steady interior lineman who started the final 20 games he played and logged 959 offensive snaps in 2018, earning third-team All-Big Ten honors before a lower-leg injury in the Michigan game ended his Buckeyes career early.[4] His value was less about splash plays and more about dependable pass protection, physicality, and staying composed in a high-volume offense that set a school record for passing attempts.[4] If you want a guard who was battle-tested, technically sound, and already proven in big-game environments, Knox was the kind of trench anchor coaches trust.[4][6]
