Technically we did get Nick and Chase for 2.5 games and it was amazing. Bosa had what 5.5 sacks in that time?

I'm serious when I ask this but how are big ten teams going to block these two in years 2 and 3? Particularly with the DTs we have and the corners we will have (especially next year). The reason I thought JTT was a must get was because of what Alabama was doing on the OL at OT. To me they're the only ones equipped to handle our DL.

I look for the Bucks opponents to set a record for most yards given up for holding penalties.

“He’s a great player, but he’s a good student, he’s a really good person,” Tuimoloau’s Eastside Catholic coach Dominic Daste said on the Tim May Podcast. “The day and age now where coaches are tied to the guys they recruit, and they have to put their butt on the line in terms of academics and character and things of that nature, I don’t think you have to worry about that with anything with J.T. There’s a physical piece, which is you can’t teach 6-foot-6, arm length and speed to power and all those buzzwords people talk about — he has all those so.

“But at the end of the day, it’s the stuff that’s off the field that it makes it really special, I think. And he’s such a humble kid. His family has done a great job raising him. And so I think when you talk about who he is off the field, he’s a great student. Who he is as a person, as a young man, that’s really what makes him a really, really special kid.”

“His ability to get 265 or 270 pounds moving quickly [is special],” Daste said. “So you may have heard of a guy named Randy Hart. … His big thing is speed to power. And when you get to where you’re going, have bad intentions and bad attitude when you get there. That’s kind of who J.T. is. His ability to get off at the point of attack, and have a collision that means something.

“He’s really, really bright. He loves the game of football in terms of studying and all those kinds of things. So yeah, I think he’s gonna do a great job. But in a nutshell: When he makes contact with somebody, it means something.”

Recruiting game is over, you're another Buckeye frosh now!

Has a very similar profile and measurables to Rashan Gary coming out of HS (Gary was rated a perfect 1.000 vs. 0.990 for J.T.). It will be interesting to see who has the more productive college career. That said, since tOSU doesn't scheme to "make their best player invisible", I'm putting my money on J.T.

Many of the top rated recruits in a class are household names today: Trevor Lawrence, Leonard Fournette, Adrian Peterson, Vince Young, Jadeveon Clowney and Ernie Sims to name a few. Gary doesn't belong in that company, but the question that persists more than a year after he left Michigan following his junior season is: did Gary meet expectations?

Whether Michigan should have turned Gary loose, like it did with Chase Winovich on the other side of the line (18 sacks and a sack rate of 9.8%), or like Ohio State did with the Bosa brothers (Nick 18 sacks and a rate of 23.4%; Joey 26 sacks and 17.6%) and Chase Young (30 sacks, 30.6%), is a question that will long be debated and hinges largely on whether Gary had the requisite skill set to be that type of player.

A second debate argues the coaches should have moved Gary inside to the 3-tech defensive tackle, allowing him to be more of a pass rusher like a Mike Martin, Willie Henry or Maurice Hurst, the latter having a sack rate of 10.4% and a tackle-for-loss rate of 24.6% from 2014-17 (Gary had a TFL clip of 17.5%).

With 643 total points, Ohio State defensive end Chase Young finished fourth in the voting. Young, who is just the ninth defensive player to be named a Heisman finalist, has had one of the most dominant seasons in college football history.

Just sayin': Tuimoloau is a very gifted "athlete" with (almost) unlimited potential. A dominate season at DE and playing TE too could push him over the top in the Heisman voting in 3 years. Playing on both sides of ball worked "Heisman wonders" for Charles Woodson.

Even if you look at things even, Buckeye aside, he still has a better advantage at tOSU. Gary didn't have LJSr, Gary played his best when Greg Mattison (Who is a damn good DL coach in his own right) and even that isn't better than having the very best coaching him.

I see Cam Heyward AT WORST

I understand we have Ruckert and I am a HUGE fan, but this kid needs to see some two way action in certain situations. I know it is hard to prepare for two positions, but I hope like hell we utiulize his skills some at TE for at least one package. It isn't hard to learn three or four plays from TE when you are as talented as he is. He would be the best TE in the country and might be the second best TE on our roster.
