Since Ohio State announced its nine captains for the 2017 season last week, some have questioned whether that number – the largest total of captains in school history – is too many.
Ohio State’s captains themselves, though, feel there could have been even more.
"Honestly, we could have had 12, 13 captains," said senior linebacker Chris Worley, one of the nine who was chosen as a captain. "There’s definitely 12 or 13 guys deserving of captain."
Senior defensive end Jalyn Holmes, also among the nine who were chosen, said he and his teammates felt this year’s captain vote was the toughest they had in their Ohio State careers.
