Ohio State's nickname for its defensive lineman is the Rushmen.
Similarly with Ohio State's cornerbacks and BIA, however, the Buckeyes' defensive ends and tackles haven't lived up to the moniker in recent seasons.
From 2014-19, Joey Bosa, Nick Bosa and Chase Young made Larry Johnson's position room one of the best units in the nation, regardless of position. However, Johnson and the Buckeyes were unable to continue the unprecedented success in 2020, 2021 and 2022, as talented players like Zach Harrison, Tyreke Smith, Taron Vincent and Javontae Jean-Baptiste and others came and went without having the same impact as their predecessors.
