Unreasonable expectations: 2023 will see the return of the sack artist for Ohio State

In 2019, Chase Young set an Ohio State single-season record with 16.5 sacks. He became only the second Buckeye to produce multiple double-digit sack seasons, joining Mike Vrabel, the man/myth/legend who established OSU’s career record (36 sacks) during his impressive mid-90s run.

It was a banner year for Young, whose record-setting performance led to him being selected second overall in the 2020 NFL Draft.

However, since Young’s days of terrorizing Big Ten quarterbacks, sacks have been harder to come by for the Scarlet and Gray.
