"The off-season went great,” Tuimoloau said this past week. “I mean, I'm sure everybody knows it's all work. We’re all getting better, all changing your body so to get a full offseason with Coach Mick (Marotti) and the rest of the training staff has been great. I loved every bit of it.

“I am very different body wise. When I came in, I got some work in with Coach Mick. But I think this whole off-season, I felt like a big difference of just how my body felt, and I feel I feel stronger and much faster.”

“Last year, I thought had a pretty good, decent season. I was still learning a lot and still meeting with Coach J (Larry Johnson) countlessly to learn from last year and edge up my technique and just get better from there,” Tuimoloau said.

“There were times (he struggled), but I think that comes with always meeting with Coach J. Coach J was always meeting with me, and always critiquing everything and I think with that, my mindset was just getting better every day. And from that point on, I was like, 'Okay, I’ve got to keep this regimen and keep this plan going on and forward.' Just stay on top of everything and always get better.”

There's a reason J.T. Tuimoloau ranked as the nation's fourth-best player overall in the 2021 cycle per the 247Sports Composite. He's the real deal, but was playing behind several veterans for the Buckeyes as a freshman on a defense that vastly under-performed. New Buckeyes defensive coordinator Jim Knowles has to like what he sees in terms of upside from a player who plays with tenacity and is athletic enough to be an enforcer as a pass rusher. Top-end defensive ends seem to grow on trees in Columbus and Tuimoloau is next in line to be a standout defender in the Big Ten.
