There’s been a lot of talk about the Leo position since Jim Knowles made the move from Stillwater to Columbus, but up until Tuesday, very little of it had come from members of the Ohio State program.
In fact, when asked about the hybrid linebacker/defensive end position – a calling card of Knowles’ previous defenses at Oklahoma State and Duke – Buckeye players have been intentionally tight-lipped this spring.
“The Leo? Yeah, I don't know what the Leo is, I don't know what you guys are talking about, honestly,” sophomore defensive end Jack Sawyer said in jest last week.
