Get to know Lakewood (Ohio) St. Edward three-star offensive lineman Devontae Armstrong, who signed with the Buckeyes on Wednesday.
Height, Weight: 6-5, 297
247Sports Composite Ranking: He is rated as the No. 462 overall prospect, No. 30 interior lineman and No. 19 recruit out of Ohio.
Commitment Date: Armstrong committed to Ohio State on March 27 along with his brother, Deontae Armstrong.
Other Offers: Akron, Boston College, Cincinnati, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Iowa State, Kentucky, Miami (Ohio), Michigan, Michigan State, Penn State, Purdue, Wisconsin.
How He Did In High School: Armstrong has lined up at left guard for St. Edward over the last few seasons, helping the Eagles to three consecutive state championships. This past season, he and the rest of St. Edward’s offensive line helped lead a rushing attack that averaged 116.1 yards per game and had 30 touchdowns on the ground.
Where He Fits For 2024: Depth is not as big of a concern for Ohio State on the interior as it is at tackle, even with the possibility of replacing Matthew Jones and Donovan Jackson, which makes a spot on the field difficult to envision for Armstrong next season. Two openings in the interior could present an opportunity for Armstrong to make his case on the two deep, but special teams and a potential redshirt are likely in Armstrong’s future for his first season with the Buckeyes.
