DL Quinn Pitcock, Ohio State – In his first opportunity to replace long-time starter Tim Anderson, Pitcock recorded 44 tackles, 6½ behind the line of scrimmage. He’s a high energy run-stopper, who picked up an All-Big Ten honorable mention in November.
DB Ashton Youboty, Ohio State – After Dustin Fox broke his arm in the second game, Youboty stepped into the starting lineup, and became a mainstay at corner. He paced the Buckeyes with four interceptions and 11 pass breakups, and capped the regular season with a huge effort against Michigan.
