Zach Harrison | DE | No. 9
I do not envy Zach Harrison. As if being the 12th ranked player in the 2019 recruiting class wasn’t enough to generate sky-high expectations for a sophomore defensive end, he is also now expected to step up and be the next link in OSU’s chain of dominant DEs that started in 2013 with Joey Bosa, transitioned to Nick Bosa in 2016, and continued unbroken with Chase Young last season.

As a freshman, Harrison notched 5.5 tackles for loss, including 3.5 sacks, and earned the start opposite Young in the Fiesta Bowl after Jonathon Cooper decided to sit out the postseason in order to maintain his redshirt.

Though no depth chart as officially been unveiled yet, because of the unquestioned potential that he displayed in 2019, it is widely assumed that Harrison will be starting opposite Cooper this season, and that has to excite all Buckeye fans.

Harrison has the potential to be an absolutely game-changing, offense-exploding force on the defensive line; heck, there’s a reason that they call him “Sack” Harrison beyond the fact that it rhymes with his first name.

I certainly don’t want to put the pressure of living up to the Bosas and Young’s legacy as a first-time starter on anybody, but if anyone can do it, I certainly think that Harrison can.

Curious to see the snap count. I didn't see much disruption from Zach, or the rest of the line for most of the game. Maybe he wasn't playing much. We need this guy to step up or this is going to be a long season.

They seemed to be rotating all sorts of guys at the D ends. First 2 series it was Coop and Friday. Then it was Smith and Jean- Baptist. Next up was Harrison and Smith. So Zach wasn't in til the second quarter. Still trying to figure out who their best combos are I guess.

I should apologize about my previous post. I assumed he played a lot because he was a starter last year. However I know now he was the 3rd rotation? I have to assume he wasnt 100% because he should've been a starter.

I assumed because I didnt notice him early it was because he wasnt making an impact. Any rate I hope they pair him with Cooper or Smith from now on.
