The best, most impactful player on Ohio State’s Big Ten championship-winning defense on Saturday was a sixth-year senior.
A former five-star recruit whose college football career continues as he steadfastly remains chasing his NFL dreams despite suffering a multitude of injuries that have ended playing careers, including a torn Achilles and torn biceps in both arms. A backup linebacker who sat out the first game with an injury, missed the second one due to a false positive and only got the start against Northwestern because Baron Browning was deemed unavailable. A veteran who graduated from the university last weekend making his first start of the season with his position coach missing due to a positive coronavirus test.
