Draft Profile: Bio
Austin Siereveld's path from overlooked recruit to Ohio State captain tells you everything about his trajectory. The Cincinnati-area product from Lakota East High School landed in Columbus as a three-star prospect in the 2023 class after a recruitment that included Alabama, Notre Dame, Penn State, and Michigan. His high school tape showed a physical lineman who dominated in a triple-option offense, earning comparisons to Mongo from "Blazing Saddles" for his ability to knock defenders backwards. After redshirting in 2023, he became critical during Ohio State's 2024 championship run, starting six games at guard and helping the Buckeyes allow just four sacks across four College Football Playoff games. When coaching staff moved him to left tackle for 2025, he handled the transition with understated confidence, earning back-to-back Iron Buckeye honors and a captain's designation across his 1,102 career snaps.The self-described quiet guy who grew up on Lego and video games has matured into a vocal leader, maintaining Academic All-Big Ten status while majoring in sport industry. His nickname "Piggy" traces to his father Clay's wrestling days, which teammates adopted after seeing his Xbox gamer tag. Character markers suggest a mature, coachable prospect whose professionalism was reinforced through mentorship from former Buckeye All-American Donovan Jackson, who taught him how to prepare and compete at the highest level.
Scouting Report: Strengths
- Zero sacks allowed across fourteen starts at Ohio State's left tackle.
- Moves people in the run game at 325 pounds, with grades among the class's best.
- Second-team All-Big Ten in his first season on the blindside.
- Guard-tackle flexibility already proven across three college seasons.
- Voted a 2026 captain, the program's highest internal endorsement.
- Heavy, settled anchor that turns bull rushes into stalemates.
- Only Buckeye starter up front without a sack on his ledger.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- The Miami playoff game was a pass-blocking disaster, five hurries in the loss.
- Texas opener was nearly as rough, bookending the season with his two worst tapes.
- Hurries pile up against true speed; the sack column flatters the protection tape.
Scouting Report: Summary
Fourteen starts at left tackle, zero sacks allowed, and run-blocking tape among the best in the class: Siereveld's first season on the blindside made him second-team All-Big Ten and the only Ohio State starter up front with a clean sack ledger. At 325 pounds with a settled anchor and proven guard-tackle flexibility, he wins with mass, placement and patience, and the program answered any character questions by voting him a captain for his return.The bookends of the season are the case against. Texas stressed him badly in the opener, and Miami's playoff edge rush handed him a genuine disaster, five hurries on a night his pass-block tape cratered, which together suggest the zero-sack line owes something to scheme help against the fastest rushers he faced. Thirteen hurries across the year confirm the pattern: power is handled, speed gets home to the doorstep.
How teams weigh that split decides his position and his round. Inside, the speed problem mostly disappears and the people-moving plays every snap; outside, he needs a cleaner answer to NFL edges than the playoff tape showed. Either way the floor is a long-term starter at one of four spots, and a captain's senior season with better bookends would push the conversation back to the first round, where the rest of his film already lives.
