5. Caleb Jones

It was a performance to forget on Saturday for Jones as he failed to do much blocking at all against the Ohio State defensive line.

Granted Jones was matched up with Ohio State’s Chase Young at times, one of the best defensive linemen in the country, he barely slowed him down which led to two sacks.

His play will be even more crucial moving forward as he will be blocking the blind side for Michael Penix. At 6-foot-8 and 350 pounds, Jones should be a force up front, but just hasn’t been that so far this season, and his mistakes were on full display against the Buckeyes.

Going up against a UConn team that has six sacks through two games will be another test for the right tackle, and he needs to bounce back with a better job protecting the QB than last week.
