Ohio State entered this spring with only one linebacker who regularly started games for the Buckeyes last season.
That linebacker’s status for the upcoming season is now in question.
Tuf Borland started nine games for Ohio State at middle linebacker last year, and was slated to be the Buckeyes’ starting middle linebacker again this year. Borland suffered an Achilles tendon injury during practice last week, however, leaving the Buckeyes with competition at all three linebacker positions.
While Borland has not been ruled out for the 2018 season, Meyer did not specify the severity of Borland’s injury or the timetable for Borland’s return during his press conference Monday.
