So far, Pat Elflein’s career at Ohio State has been a spectacular scene. He’s one of the offensive line juggernauts that protects J.T. Barrett and helps allow the running game to take off. Elflein has been nominated for numerous awards for his football contributions, but his biggest contributions are ones that focus on life off the gridiron: brother and spokesperson.
In a recent story by Austin Ward of ESPN.com, Ward goes in-depth with Elflein about the substance abuse battles his brother, Matt, went through – a battle that was occurring when Pat was beginning his time in Columbus, Ohio, with the Buckeyes.
