WHAT TO EXPECT IN 2020 AND BEYOND FROM OHIO STATE'S 10 FRESHMEN WHO REDSHIRTED LAST SEASON

DE NOAH POTTER

2019 in review: Potter played 37 total snaps across four games, seeing the field only once after the fourth week of the season. The defensive end recorded two tackles in his first year as a Buckeye.

A look toward 2020: Though Larry Johnson won’t have Chase Young rushing off the edge, Ohio State returns every other key contributor – Jonathon Cooper, Zach Harrison, Tyreke Smith, Tyler Friday and Javontae Jean-Baptiste – at defensive end. Because of the depth, there’s a good chance Potter will have to wait another season to earn a role in the rotation. But after a year of development to go along with his 6-foot-6, 262-pound frame, the Mentor native could find a spot with a strong offseason.

Long-term outlook: While Potter waits behind a few veterans, he can take solace in the fact that he’s part of the next wave at defensive end. Johnson has shown a propensity to rotate edge rushers, so whenever he feels as though Potter deserves more playing time, he’ll turn to him. At this point in Potter’s career with the players currently ahead of him on the depth chart, it’s unclear when that’ll happen.

Watching Noah’s brother play in the NCAAs made me dig this up. Wondering if we’re going to see this young man this year?

This (unofficial) site has him listed a 3rd team DE: https://www.ourlads.com/ncaa-football-depth-charts/depth-chart/ohio-state/91533

He's behind Smith, Harrison, Jean-Baptiste, and Friday at DE. Obviously he could work his up the depth chart in the Spring Practices and Fall Camp, etc. He still has 3 years of legibility left; so if not in 2021, then maybe 2022 and 2023 will be his time to shine.

Potter’s Field
Redshirt sophomore Noah Potter moved to defensive tackle from defensive end this spring and he did some pretty good things on Saturday. He’s a tall defensive tackle at 6-foot-6, but he’s an overall big dude who is a lot to block. He got the better of sophomore right guard Paris Johnson on a running play on the first drive. He also had a batted ball later in the game. Potter is a talented athlete who showed that he’s not simply going through the motions of a position change.

At defensive tackle, Potter could have more opportunities to make an impact over the next couple of seasons. He’s still behind Haskell Garrett and Taron Vincent on the 3-technique depth chart, but either or both of them could also see some snaps at nose tackle this year, which could open up more playing time for Potter. And Garrett is in his final year at Ohio State while Vincent could also be a candidate to go to the NFL if he has a big 2021 season, giving Potter the chance to play his way into a major role in 2022.
