COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) -- When Phillip Daniels gets to the line of scrimmage on Saturday night against Minnesota, he'll see more than a few familiar faces on the other side.

The Cincinnati native transferred to Ohio State from the Golden Gophers in the offseason, playing in 12 games in 2024 and making three starts.

With the Buckeyes, Daniels started in all four games at right tackle. Coach Ryan Day said he's earned his spot as a starter.

"He's made great progress. He's an Ohio player who has a lot of pride in this state. He knows what it means to be a Buckeye," Day said. "We love the intensity. We love the passion. We love how hard he plays. He gives us an edge. He continues to get better in everything that he's doing and he has a higher ceiling than where he's at right now."
