A terrifying trio of linebackers will be the hallmark of this year's Ohio State defense.
"The linebacking corps in the Big Ten East are measured by Ohio State's unit, which teems with athletic ability and talent."
Penn State might have the historical reputation of being "Linebacker U," but for this year, they may have to cede the title to Ohio State. The Big Ten Network ranks the Buckeyes' linebackers as the best in the conference's East division (which is the far superior of the two), and that's no shock. There's a lot to like there.
Darron Lee, a high school quarterback, is the Buckeyes' most electric defensive playmaker outside of Joey Bosa.
