Tim May: Donovan Jackson happy to be back in lineup for Buckeyes

COLUMBUS — Ohio State got the gang back together again on the offensive line with the 2024 debut of preseason All-America left guard Donovan Jackson last week, and it appears Jackson was none the worse for the wear. After having to step aside the first two game to let what was believed to be a hamstring strain fully heal, the senior is raring to go as the Buckeyes point toward their Big Ten opener Saturday night at Michigan State. The smart thing for Jackson to do, as it turned out, was take the hiatus, enhanced by the team’s first of two off weeks this season before stepping back in last week in the romp over Marshall.
