After leaning on his teammates and coaches to cope with the loss of his father in November, Enokk Vimahi is feeling “a lot more confident” entering his fourth season at Ohio State.
Enokk Vimahi says he wouldn’t be at Ohio State right now if not for everything his father did for him on and off the field.
“Once he was sick, I’ve always started to play for him. But I mean, now that he's not here, it's added motivation, but I also can feel him,” Vimahi said. “I know that sounds really cheesy. But I know like, if I do something wrong, I can just hear his voice. Take a better wide step, or punch with your outside hand first.
“Everybody has literally surrounded him to help him out and to support him, just because we're so far away from him. He literally has family there now with all of his teammates and their families and how they continue to support him because they know Mom can’t come out as often,” Lori Vimahi toldLori Vimahi became emotional as she talked about how Ryan Day and his assistants, including former Ohio State offensive line coach Greg Studrawa, have helped her son deal with losing his father.
“My heart, my mind, it was scattered everywhere. And honestly, that was me trying to rely on others at that point. And not doing that earlier – it could have helped if I opened up earlier.” Through his first three years at Ohio State, Vimahi has played only 158 total snaps and has yet to start a game for the Buckeyes. But Day named Vimahi as an offensive lineman who made a push this spring for a spot in the lineup.
Even with the adversity Vimahi has dealt with in his personal life, he’s continued to bring a positive attitude to practice that has rubbed off on his teammates, according to center Luke Wypler.
