Per Eickholt, Logan Jones will return for one more year.
Logan Jones returning
- Thread starter squeezebox
- Start date
Beat writers have been reporting that Jones and Hurkett are expected back for about a week now
I suspect he did not get good feedback from the NFL. Hawk's offered NIL to give him another year to improve.
Wonder if this will move another O-lineman to the portal. Myslinsky looks to have Colby's spot for next year, that would have been my first guess.
Huge portal get!
I'd be surprised if Pieper didn't have the upper hand right now. Myslinski only played 25 snaps all season. Pieper played in 10 games and had over 100 snaps.
solid run blocker but she'd to get beat often in pass blocking, especially with blitzing teams
last I saw he was slated as a 5th or 6th ound guy

I wonder if there's any chance Ellsberry comes back. Would be huge if we had four veteran guys returning. I think he is eligible.
Yeah because this offensive line looked so dominant against Nebraska, Michigan State, and UCLA second half of season.
O-line is definitely a concern next year so this is good news. Captain obvious.
O line did very well for having no passing attack several games. Use some common sense.
No NFL future might as well play another year
You don't want a returning 1st team all big ten player back to the team? Coaches voted him 2nd team, which tells you all that you need to know, as they know a heck of a lot more than we do. Sometimes I wonder what some of you are watching on gamedays. He was solid, he is solid and he will stick on a team to play on Sundays.
The OL is better with another returning starter w lots of experience. They need that next year.
Logan Jones was the 9th highest rated offensive lineman in the B1G according to PFF's ratings. Gennings Dunker was the #1 rated offensive lineman in the B1G. Beau Stephens was in the mid 30's. That's a pretty good starter kit for the OL for next year. Slide Pieper into the other guard spot and then figure out who's the best between Dotzler and Lauck for the LT spot and I'd say that's a pretty good OL for 2025. The key, as always, will be the depth behind them.
We were severely limited against Nebraska. The other two, I can't argue with. The UCLA game continues to be an embarrassment. Considering the same guys have been in the lineup continuously for the last three to four years I would hope we have brighter prospects that have developed inside the program. I would hope 4* Lauck, who had offers from Michigan and TOSU to name a few, and was highly ranked nationally at his position is able to make a statement next year. That being said, I would like to get a starting OL from a power 4 conference.
Well one could say they had no pass game because QBs rarely had time to get the ball to any WR that happened to get open.
Not saying it was all on them, but that group has been bad in pass protection for awhile.
Against MSU we did not have a running threat qb. We did at UCLA and we scored on our first possession and moved the ball but turnovers stalled the offense. Shaggy's big pass completions showed in the 2nd half of that game how a better passing game can open things up for the hawks.
MSU, UCLA, and Nebby all sold out to stop the run, big time and it worked. Still the hawk offense had a very good 2nd half at MSU.
We didnt have the qb run threat against Nebby.
I am just hoping the passing game improves by at least 50% next year but really a 100% improvement from about 100 yards per game to 200 yards per game is what is needed
So our line play hasn't been good the past 5 years, but you don't want an all big ten performer back?
We don't need a QB run threat to beat Debbie. Hell, we don't need an offense. They find away to lose to us.
It's weird but I'll take it.
