OHIO STATE DEFENSIVE LINE COACH LARRY JOHNSON SAYS TY HAMILTON IS A “SLEEPING GIANT,” HAMILTON FOCUSED ON LEADERSHIP​

147788_h.jpg


The star power surrounding Ty Hamilton on Ohio State’s defensive line casts a shadow that sometimes shields him from recognition.

It’s an integral part of any defensive front to have rugged defensive tackles who can knock the line of scrimmage backward. They aren’t always the ones collecting all the stats, but they are the ones plugging up running lanes and eating blocks.

Projected as the Buckeyes’ starting nose guard in 2024, Hamilton’s value certainly isn’t lost on defensive line coach Larry Johnson.

“Ty is a hammer. Ty is a physical player inside,” Johnson said in March. “If you watch his play from last year, there were times when – we call him ‘Bobble Doll.’ He's just taking that center and shaking his head. Very strong, very physical. ... Ty, to me, is a sleeping giant. He really is. Because he makes us go. He's smart. He's a leader, and he knows exactly what he wants to do. And I love that about Ty.”

Most underrated returning player who came back…..this kid is critical to OSU meeting expectations in 2024.

Agreed, my fingers are crossed on his health and Tyleik's. We should have some quality depth with Malone, Kanu, Moore and McDonald, but of course we haven't got to see much of them. Luckily the early schedule should allow us to get them off the field earlier on to help prevent injuries and get our two-three deep some quality reps.

Ty Hamilton is ready to explode on defense (and blow up offensive lines) this season​

After a breakout year in 2023, the senior defensive tackle is ready to cause a little commotion for his opponents.

Despite finishing the 2023 season on a high note, defensive tackle Ty Hamilton still has unfinished business at Ohio State—those are his words, not mine.

Back in January, he cited “some unfinished business that needs to be taken care of for the brotherhood” as the driving force behind his decision to return to OSU for a fifth season rather than declaring for the NFL Draft.

Now, the time has come for Hamilton to finish the job.

Though Hamilton, the younger brother of DaVon Hamilton, who played for the Buckeyes from 2015-2019, was a bit of a late bloomer, he had a stellar finish to the 2023 season, breaking out in the final month. The 6-foot-3, 295-pound senior from Pickerington, Ohio, is hoping to expand on the momentum he started, playing in all 13 games last season and starting in the final eight of them.

Though Hamilton split reps with Michael Hall, Jr., who departed for the NFL at the end of last season, Hamilton hit his stride in the final month of the 2023 season, registering 19 of his 38 tackles on the year in the last five games.

During that same window, he also recorded his two sacks and a career-high six tackles against Rutgers in the first week of November before matching his career-high tackles in the Cotton Bowl loss against Missouri.

He has his work cut out for him this season, but he won’t have to do it alone. Fellow veteran defensive tackle Tyleik Williams and Hamilton believe they can tag-team the job, and motivation certainly won’t be an issue for the duo, who have already nicknamed themselves “TNT” as a nod to their names (both starting with “T”) and the explosiveness they hope to bring to the field.

Together, Hamilton and Williams are ready to serve not just as a key part of the Buckeyes’ defensive scheme but also to step into leadership roles as veterans. They’ll be tasked with covering the interior of a defensive line that is largely considered the best in the country.

Hamilton, for his part, has spent the offseason improving his pass rush, and he brings an intense physicality to the position, something that will be critical to the success of the Buckeyes’ elite defense. His ability to shut down opponents’ run games from the middle opens up opportunities for the defense, which should help them get opposing offenses off the field quickly or even potentially force costly turnovers.

But the other side of this explosiveness is patience, the ability to bide your time and let the play unfold before you unleash the explosion.

Hamilton finally has enough experience to lead the way on this front.
