Kayden McDonald Emerging As Third Defensive Tackle in Buckeyes' Rotation

It's hard to judge exact rotations when a team has spent roughly two-and-a-half quarters of football playing backups two weeks into the season as Ohio State has.

Even with that being noted, a clear No. 3 is emerging at defensive tackle behind the starting duo of Tyleik Williams and Ty Hamilton.

Sophomore Kayden McDonald has seen 31 snaps through two games, including a decent amount of first-half action in the Buckeyes' victories over Akron and Western Michigan. Redshirt sophomore Hero Kanu has played the next-most snaps among backup defensive tackles with only 16 snaps.
