CHICAGO – Whichever three players Ohio State opts to take with its head coach to Big Ten media days gives an indication of who will be looked at as leaders in the fall.
This year, the Buckeyes chose safety Jordan Fuller, wide receiver K.J. Hill and defensive end Jonathon Cooper to accompany first-time head coach Ryan Day in Chicago.
“Jordan is a first-team Academic All-American,” Day said in his opening statement at Big Ten media days on Thursday. “He was a captain last year, leading tackler on our team. K.J. Hill is someone who came back for his fifth year.
