Now in his second season at Ohio State after transferring from San Diego State, Josh Simmons is spending his spring building upon an improved second half of 2023.
It’s always a Sisyphean task to quantify an offensive lineman’s play, but anyone paying close attention to it could see that Josh Simmons took strides in the second half of last season – line-wide struggles in the Cotton Bowl aside.grades, Simmons had his highest-marked game against Minnesota in Week 12. He only allowed three combined pressures in Ohio State’s final five regular season games.
“I think the game’s slowing down for him,” offensive line coach Justin Frye said. “Those mistakes that may have shown up or questions that he had through the fall and as we got going through the season, those are starting to erase a little bit, which is good.
“Physically, obviously, you’ve gotta be ready, but mentally, that’s where you’ve gotta start tightening up a little bit,” Simmons said. “You start playing in those Notre Dame games, those Penn State games, you realize a penalty like that can destroy the whole game. Once you look at it through that lens, you know that those are a no-no, it can’t happen.”
The biggest difference Frye has seen from Simmons this winter and spring is his ability to vocalize before and during plays. “Just about everything,” Simmons said of what he’s working on. “In terms of physical attributes, I can move really strong and stuff like that. But there’s a lot more to work on to even come close to what I can , for me being able to help the team. Technique, awareness, just everything. Communication, I think that’s the biggest thing. When you’re in those games you’ve gotta be able to call it out, a pressure might come.
