Ohio State Buckeyes left tackle-in-practice/right tackle, right guard, and left guard Austin Siereveld is already garnering 2027 NFL draft buzz. As one can imagine, Siereveld's versatility is something that will get him looks at the next level.
Bucknuts' Patrick Murphy predicted certainty in Siereveld's ability to have NFL franchises interested in him next April, amidst uncertainty about what position he'd play in Arthur Smith's offensive system this coming season in Columbus.
"In 2024, Austin Siereveld proved to be an NFL-caliber guard as the Buckeyes won the national championship. Last season, Siereveld moved to tackle, practicing at right before starting all year at left tackle," Murphy wrote.
"Heading into his final season of college football, the Scarlet and Gray will need to determine where Siereveld fits best within their group, but he has already shown he can play at either spot. Siereveld likely projects as a guard at the next level, but his ability to play right or left guard or right or left tackle makes him that much more valuable to an NFL team."

Siereveld started at left tackle during the 2025 season, but it looks like he'll be sliding over to protect the right edge in 2026.
Per Cleveland.com's Stephen Means, "Moore got every possible opportunity to show Tyler Bowen why he should be the left tackle this season. It wasn’t perfect, but he more than did his part to make his case. Now he needs to build on it heading into summer workouts and fall camp. OSU’s unlocking what might be its best starting five upfront depends on his development."
Moore had been knocking on the door of a starting spot, so it makes sense to see him nab it this spring. Siereveld plays his best on the interior, but NFL scouts would probably prefer to see him get reps as a swing tackle so they can determine whether the former Lakota East star is a true utility man across the offensive trenches.
Smith and Ryan Day are thinking about a title, not Siereveld's NFL future, but the two might have mutually beneficial goals.
