Zach Harrison and Javontae Jean-Baptiste may have been the starters, but J.T. Tuimoloau and Jack Sawyer were the standout defensive ends in Saturday’s spring game.
It must be acknowledged that the latter two had more opportunities, with the sophomores playing more than double the snaps of the veteran pass rushers, and many of them came against Ohio State’s backup offensive line. Nevertheless, if this past weekend’s exhibition was the only criteria by which to judge, it would be hard to argue that the duo of five-star underclassmen aren’t the most buzzed-about Buckeyes at the position at the conclusion of spring.
