No. 43, Big Ten and National Champion Linebacker, Darron Lee

We're counting down the days to kickoff with “99 Warriors,” the greatest Ohio State Buckeyes by jersey number, as voted by the staff of Eleven Warriors.

No. 43 Darron Lee

Born in Chattanooga, Tenn., Darron Lee moved to New Albany, Ohio in middle school and it wasn't long before he became a football sensation in central Ohio.

  • National Champion (2014)
  • Big Ten Champion (2014)
  • Sugar Bowl Defensive MVP (2015)

Just a three-star recruit out of high school, Lee was not exactly sought after by Ohio State.
