Freshman Offensive Lineman Toby Wilson Loses Black Stripe

Toby Wilson is the latest Buckeye to shed his black stripe.

A true freshman walk-on and the son of Ohio State offensive coordinator Kevin Wilson, Toby Wilson has seen time as the Buckeyes' backup center in each of the past three games.

Wilson played 16 snaps against Akron, seven against Rutgers and 15 against Maryland for a total of 38 so far in his first year in the program.

"It's amazing, he's a coach's kid. That's the first thing I can say," offensive line coach Greg Studrawa said Tuesday. "He's been around the game, he's grown up in the game, we've had injuries with the rest of the backup centers and Toby's played the position.
