Not only a leader for best name on the OSU defensive line, Phillip Napoleon was also a co-leader in tackles among the defensive line from a year ago. He racked up 23 tackles in 11 games while making six starts for the Beavers last year. Unfortunately none of those were credited for a loss, but if his JUCO career is any indicator, Napoleon is due to end that streak this season.
Before signing with OSU in 2015, Napoleon had a successful JUCO career at Mt. San Jacinto Community College. He totaled 84 tackles in two seasons, 24.
