Before he played his first football game for Ohio State, I wrote that Sam Hubbard’s journey to becoming a defensive end reminded me of J.J. Watt’s. They each played high school ball as skill position players and grew into defensive ends in college.
Now I think Hubbard may be evolving into a player similar to Ryan Kerrigan. If he were to become a combination of Watt and Kerrigan, that would be a nice situation for the Buckeyes wouldn’t it?
Watt was used in a myriad of ways along the defensive line for Wisconsin, but Kerrigan even more so for Purdue.
