Larry Johnson Once Again Has All the Tools For a Scary Pass-Rush Rotation

The sky is the limit for Larry Johnson's pass rush.

Ohio State recorded 21 sacks in the shortened 2020 season. That's 2.6 per contest as Chase Young's absence was clearly felt in the trenches. The Buckeyes were able to provide some pressure, but oftentimes the pass rush was a half step away from getting to the quarterback. With Young leading the way, the 2019 team amassed an impressive 54 sacks, which was good for nearly four per game.

Jonathon Cooper is off to the NFL after leading the team with 3.5 sacks last season. Tommy Togiai got to the quarterback three times from the interior, but he too is preparing for the NFL draft.
