“My season last year, I just kind of took it game-by-game and was trying to get better,” Garrett said. “It was unexpected, but I had prepared for that my whole career. For the most part, it was, how can I contribute? And how can I become a better player for my team?”

Garrett said the injury has led him to concentrate on being a team leader.

“I feel like I have to be on my toes and on my Ps and Qs in terms of film, getting in the weight room and doing extra stuff so I can lead these guys on the field and also off the field,” he said. “I just try and show that example of what you’re supposed to do and how you’re supposed to do it.”

Garrett said OSU defensive line coach Larry Johnson has made it an effort this spring to crosstrain the team’s interior linemen at both positions – the nose tackle and the three-technique tackle spot.

“Everybody knows how to play both positions, the three-technique and the nose guard,” Garrett said. “Everybody is fighting for a job and fighting to get better. Taron (Vincent) is doing really well. Jerron Cage is doing really well and so is Antwuan Jackson. You see some flashes from Ty Hamilton doing well, too.

“It’s not really who can be the starter. It’s who can contribute for the team. We’re making it versatile so everybody can play every position. That way nobody is one-dimensional. All of the defensive tackles know how to play both positions.”

Michigan has linebackers that can play stand-up defensive end or speed bump.

Just sayin': I'll predict that Haskell Garrett will be a captain and wear the Block O number (that Johnathan Cooper wore in 2020) in 2021.

Forget what Haskell Garrett brings onto the field. He is a leader in the defensive line room and has battled through more than enough adversity. Garrett became one of the best defensive linemen in the country after being shot in the face last fall prior to the season beginning. He worked through the wound and rehab. Garrett started for the Buckeyes just a few weeks later.

He credited his All-American status as a team success rather than an individual achievement. Garrett has proven himself to be one of the leaders on and off the field for Ohio State.

And that’s why Haskell Garrett may need to ditch No. 92 for a new Block O jersey this fall.

The 2021 college football season remains two and half months from kicking off, but as summer begins to sweep across the country, football is already in the air. On Thursday, the Walter Camp Football Foundation announced its preseason All-American teams for the upcoming year, meaning college football will be here before we know it.

Among those named to the preseason All-American team are three Ohio State players. Senior wide receiver Chris Olave and fifth-year senior offensive tackle Thayer Munford were both named to the first-team offense. Fifth-year senior Haskell Garrett was named to the first-team defense. No Buckeyes were selected as second-team preseason honors.
