Before the season, Raekwon McMillan was the biggest name on the Ohio State defense.
A five-star recruit now in his third season at middle linebacker for the Buckeyes, McMillan figured to be the central attraction on a new-look unit.
Heading into Saturday’s game at Wisconsin, McMillan leads the Buckeyes in tackles with 33, but his statistical profile is fairly modest. He doesn’t have any interceptions. He doesn’t have any sacks.
Meanwhile, new starters such as safety Malik Hooker, linebacker Jerome Baker and cornerback Marshon Lattimore may have eclipsed McMillan in the limelight.
He couldn’t care less.
