Amid a stage of the season at which regular starters would figure to be sorted, a new one has emerged on the interior of the Ohio State defensive line.
Multiple factors have led to Ty Hamilton’s rise to the top of the depth chart this late in the regular season. Still, one thing’s for certain: The Pickerington, Ohio, native is capitalizing on the opportunity.
In starts against Northwestern and Indiana, Hamilton received the most and third-most snaps in any single game he’s played this season. According to Pro Football Focus, they’ve also been his best performances, as he’s gotten his highest defensive grades of the year in the last two weeks.
