DE Jack Sawyer (All B1G)



Jack Sawyer’s days of playing his namesake position at Ohio State appear to be over.

After splitting snaps between playing as a traditional defensive end and lining up as a Jack linebacker last season, Sawyer is focusing fully on playing defensive end this spring. Everyone involved in that decision – defensive line coach Larry Johnson, defensive coordinator Jim Knowles and Sawyer himself – agrees that’s the best thing for Sawyer based on how this spring has gone so far.
“Jack is getting better every day,” Knowles said Tuesday. “I think that move and staying out of that package this spring has been really good for Jack. He gets to focus on the fundamentals with Coach Johnson, and I really like his progress.”

  • Knowles said Jack Sawyer has started to become dominant the last two practices at defensive end. “He was at a high level, then the last two days he vaulted himself into being a dominant guy.”
