Jack Sawyer has quietly been one of the most consistent sources of production along Ohio State’s defensive line in 2023.
He’s had at least three tackles in all but one of the Buckeyes’ games, and on the season he is second only to Tyleik Williams in tackles among Ohio State defensive linemen with 30.
"If you watch Jack, he goes hard every play," defensive end JT Tuimoloau said. "That’s the guy I love playing on the other side of and he just brings that energy. I can feed off it. Having him, Mike (Hall), Tyleik (Williams) and whoever else is in there, especially with Jack, he just brings that mentality."
The role he fills for Ohio State’s 2023 outfit isn’t always a flashy one. Playing strong at the point of attack and setting the edge on running plays aren’t things that fans always take notice of.
But both on and off the field, Sawyer’s teammates and coaches feel he’s responsible for doing a great deal of important dirty work and representing the best parts of the team.
"He knows what it means and he knows this place, how special it is and he embodies everything that this program is about," Ryan Day said. "You just see that on a daily basis, in his attitude every day when he comes in, he works hard, he’s a hard-hat kind of guy. And you’re seeing him play that way."
Especially in terms of that above-mentioned run defense, the last two weeks may have been Sawyer’s strongest.
He collected 10 total tackles between Ohio State’s games at Wisconsin and at Rutgers, with six coming against the Badgers including an emphatic stop of star running back Braelon Allen on a 2nd-and-goal play near halftime. After another stop from linebacker Tommy Eichenberg, Wisconsin was forced to settle for a field goal.
Ohio State named Sawyer a co-defensive player of the game by the Buckeyes alongside Eichenberg against the Badgers.
"I get it, guys in the media and people who just watch the game, they want to see the big sack stats and all those, which is good," Sawyer said. "But we’re focused on winning games, playing good defense, playing tough, just keep winning. Don't worry about any of the stats, we'll come back up after the season, look at those."

Jack Sawyer “Embodies Everything” Ohio State's Program is About With “Hard-Hat” Mentality
Doing much of the unheralded dirty work on defense this season, Ryan Day says Jack Sawyer “embodies everything” that Ohio State's program is about.

Well earned, finally got to go back and watch the full Minny game again...was literally everywhere making plays. That is the Jack Sawyer we all expected as a recruit coming in and he is really having a damn fine second half of the season. Love when he and JT converged for that sack the other week, then in this game he has a strip sack that JT scoops up...our DL is really a force right now and we need to really prove it on Saturday. Jack will be a big part of that.

Would not be surprised one bit if he returned. Not saying he will, but I could see him coming back if staff or scheme changes are made

Hard for me to believe he's a strong candidate to leave. He's a day 3 prospect this year, imo

I've seen a lot of early boards put him between 40-80, and I do think scouts will have him higher than most 'online boards' would. I'd be pretty confident in him being a Day 2 pick, ton of upside and we saw that later in the year.
That said - next year he'd likely be a captain, be the leader on the DL, have a chance to beat Michigan, play his way into the 1st round, and make some pretty solid NIL....based on his love for the team, I do think he'll return.

40 sounds way too early. 80-90 is the earliest I could see him going. I don't think he's as good as Zach Harrison right now. But that's just my uneducated opinion
