Ryan Day Sees Ty Hamilton As All-Big Ten-Caliber Defensive Tackle, “Great Example” for Ohio State Teammates

Ty Hamilton might be overshadowed by the other senior standouts on Ohio State’s defensive line, but he certainly isn’t overlooked by Ohio State’s coaches.

Hamilton garnered recognition from Ohio State’s coaching staff this week when he was named the Buckeyes’ defensive player of the game for their 56-0 win over Western Michigan. Hamilton recorded four tackles within three yards of the line of scrimmage, including a combined sack with fellow defensive tackle Tyleik Williams, and received a 96% grade-out from the coaches – meaning the coaches determined he executed his assignment effectively on all but one of his 27 snaps against the Broncos.
