Goes without saying, but absolutely critical after the Togiai departure. Will be a leader on the defense without a doubt and hopefully picks up right where he left off. Welcome back Haskell!

What Haskell Garrett means to Ohio State
The Big Ten awards voters might not have realized it, but Haskell Garrett emerged last season as one of the most dominant forces up front in the country. The Buckeyes were clearly aware of his immense value, of course, watching Garrett blossom into the kind of game-changing defensive tackle that has long been projected since he arrived as a four-star recruit. Certainly it took a bit longer than Garrett might have ideally wanted, but patience is almost always rewarded for talented players who give Larry Johnson time to work his development magic.
The fact that Garrett was inches away from potentially never playing again for the Buckeyes after getting shot in the face in August only adds to his remarkable journey. But his on-field rise is impressive enough all on its own as he went from a rotational reserve who had only shown flashes of his potential into a pocket-pressuring, run-stuffing monster who earned a couple first-team All-America nods after being snubbed on the all-conference ballots.
Bottom line: Whether it was expected or not, Haskell Garrett gave Ohio State a huge bonus by sticking around to bolster the defense for another season.

Based on Haskell’s production, they should shoot every member of the defense in the face*

Haskell Garrett made a massive difference on the field last season, helping the Buckeyes to an appearance the national title game.
Now, he wants to make a difference in the community, too. The All-American defensive tackle has started a charity, the Beat All Odds Foundation, designed to help children realize their dreams and become their best self despite the odds stacked against them.

The Buckeyes confirmed to Lettermen Row on Friday that the senior who elected to stick around for one more season with the program will be unavailable during the workouts this month and next. Garrett posted pictures using a scooter to get around on his social media, but Ohio State doesn’t disclose specifics about injuries.
Fortunately for Garrett, he might be the one player on Ohio State's defense who can afford not to be on the field at all this spring. After leading all Ohio State defensive tackle with 311 snaps played last season, Larry Johnson likely would have lightened his workload this spring anyway in order to keep him fresh for his fifth-year senior season as a Buckeye this fall, when he's expected to be one of the top defensive tackles in the country. As long as Garrett is available for the start of the season, his place in the lineup as Ohio State's top 3-technique won't be in any jeopardy.
With Garrett sidelined this spring, there will be more reps to go around for the rest of Ohio State's defensive tackles including Taron Vincent, Antwuan Jackson, Jerron Cage, Jaden McKenzie, Ty Hamilton and early enrollee Tyleik Williams.
