Ohio State's linebacker corps is chocked full of talented upperclassmen, putting together one of the deepest units in all of college football.
It hasn't gotten as much attention looking ahead to the 2020 season as some of Ohio State's other position groups, like wide receiver, but with two returning starters, two former five-star recruits and three four-star juniors occupying the top seven slots of the depth chart, the Buckeyes' linebackers – the bane of their defense just two years ago – has quickly become one of their greatest strengths.
Ohio State's defense lost seven starters from last year's top-ranked defense, including two potential top-three selections (Chase Young, Jeff Okudah) in the NFL draft.
