JACK SAWYER PLANS ON MAKING “HUGE JUMP” AHEAD OF SOPHOMORE SEASON AT OHIO STATE
“I think I can take a huge jump this year. I plan on it,” Sawyer said after Ohio State’s third spring practice last week. “And I just think last year, I was a little inconsistent earlier in the year and kind of let it affect my play a little bit. I feel like halfway through the year I kind of turned it on pretty well and started progressing at a high level. And I'm just looking forward to this year, you know, get a chance to go out and show it.”
“I didn't really think that because it's a lot different going against the competition we were going against,” Sawyer said. “And I was just trying to improve, I kind of try to block that noise out as much as possible. And I was focused on getting better. And I knew it wasn't gonna be easy like that, I just try to keep getting better and trying to keep improving and I think once like I said once I kind of got through that first little shaky part earlier in the year that I really took off.”
“The most important thing I learned in the first year is probably just to stay consistent,” Sawyer said. “The first year kind of goes like this a lot. But then once you find it, you know, it clicks. I think for me, it kind of clicked halfway through the season. I kind of you know, that's when I really turned it on. I just felt it, you know, and just bringing it every day, too, kind of wears on you. It's a grind. It's the longest season I've ever had in my life playing football and just every day you're here for at least four hours doing stuff and it was kind of a lot for a lot of us younger guys at first, but then once you find a routine you got to stick with it and I think that that can help everybody.”
