Jim Knowles says he‘ll rotate more up front than he will in the back seven and C.J. Stroud says Mickey Marotti got “back to his old ways” this offseason during interviews on BTN.
Ohio State will continue to play a lot of defensive linemen this season, but don’t expect the Buckeyes to rotate as heavily at linebacker or in the secondary.
The defensive linemen who appear likely to have at least some role in the rotation this season are Zach Harrison, Jack Sawyer, J.T. Tuimoloau, Javontae Jean-Baptiste and Tyler Friday at defensive end and Taron Vincent, Jerron Cage, Tyleik Williams, Ty Hamilton and Mike Hall at defensive tackle., while the starting secondary is expected to consist of Denzel Burke and Cameron Brown at cornerback, Tanner McCalister at nickel safety, Ronnie Hickman at adjuster and Josh Proctor at bandit .
On Knowles: “The way that he teaches, the way that he understands the game, intelligence level is off the charts. He really connects well with the players.” Knowles is embracing the high expectations at Ohio State. “Here, you’re expected to win, and I think as a coach, that drives you. That fuels you.”
Eichenberg and Hickman are “the quarterbacks of the defense,” Knowles said. He said Taron Vincent, Zach Harrison and Jack Sawyer are among those providing leadership up front.Stroud said he is definitely more comfortable this offseason than he was last offseason knowing that he is the starter rather than competing for the starting job.Stroud said he “definitely could have did more” with his legs last year and Ohio State’s new defense is forcing him to do that in practice.
On running backs TreVeyon Henderson, Miyan Williams and Evan Pryor: “They all balance each other out really well.”What does Ohio State’s offense need to do for the Buckeyes to have a chance to win a national championship? “I'll just say execute.”How do the Buckeyes ensure their defense perform better than last year? “We got to get used to being comfortable in those uncomfortable positions.”
