Availability Report: Seth McLaughlin, Josh Simmons Only Unavailable Starters Against No. 5 Indiana

For the Buckeyes third top-five matchup of the season, all starters will be available except Seth McLaughlin and Josh Simmons, who both suffered season-ending injuries.

For the first game McLaughlin is out, Ryan Day said that Carson Hinzman will be at center, where he started all 12 regular season games in 2023, and Austin Siereveld will start at left guard, where he replaced Donovan Jackson for the first two games of the season when he was dealing with an injury.

Will Kacmarek could make his return to the field against No. 5 Indiana as he is no longer listed on the availability report for the first time since Oct. 12 against Oregon, the game in which he injured himself.

Zen Michalski, who suffered an injury in the win over Nebraska, is still dealing with that and is still out against the Hoosiers.

Also out for the Nov. 23 matchup are wide receivers Reis Stocksdale and Nolan Baudo and running back TC Caffey, who is also out for the season.
