Jack Sawyer reveals he will root for Jim Knowles' success at Penn State
“I think he’s bringing the smarts,” Sawyer said. “Obviously, he’s done it now at the highest level, won a national championship with us, and helped us get to where we want to go. I know he’s going to do the best he can at Penn State. Obviously, I’ll still always root for Ohio State but I will definitely root for Coach Knowles and his success because he’s been a huge part of our journies.
“Great guy, great guy to play for. He’s always going to be my DC so wish him nothing but the best. But that one game, every year, I’m rooting for the Buckeyes. Look forward to seeing that matchup.”

Jack Sawyer calls out 'unfair s***' Ryan Day had said about him at Ohio State
“Coach Day is one of the toughest, most resilient guys I’ve ever been around,” Jack Sawyer said. “That’s the reason why we all love him. It’s the reason I love him so much. No matter what’s going on, no matter all the unfair s*** that’s being said about him — excuse me for cussing — but he’s going to stand in there, stand strong, and take it all on the brunt. Take it head on for us, and take all the blame even if it’s wrongfully deserved.”
“So, playing for him and seeing the way he’s responded the last few years, especially this year, it just shows everyone across the country what he’s capable of. He’s the best head coach in the country by far, I think in college football, unbiasedly. So, being able to see us have that happen, hear all the things that we heard in Columbus,” Sawyer said.
“And him and his family go through the things that they went through and come out the backside of it, win a national championship, man, it meant the world to me. It meant the world to us and to him and his family. So, Coach Day is one of the toughest guys I’ve been around. That’s one of the biggest things that stands out to me.”
