Before Ohio State was known as DBU or even WRU, it was often seen as LBU because of players like A.J. Hawk and James Laurinaitis.
More recently players such as Ryan Shazier and Raekwon McMillian have helped Ohio State carry on that title. Now in the 2021 class, Ohio State may have found their guy to help them continue the LBU heritage: four-star Reid Carrico.
An Ironton High school product, Carrico already has college linebacker measurements at 6-foot-2 225 pounds, but he is a lot more than just measurables. He put his team on his back this past season both on offense and defense en route to a state runner-up finish.
