Not a great game for sure by Ryan last night...but I still think he's goes pro. Multiple mocks have him first round. He'll impress at the combine and be fine....but be greatly missed by a greatful Buckeye Nation.

I think Ryan's hesitancy was seen throughout the entire defense aside from Bosa. There was an inherent (and prophetically fulfilling) fear that the defense just wasn't up to the ability of the Clemson offense. For all I know, there wasn't much confidence at all, and the vast majority of people played timid.

In most traditional thinking.. Shazier should go
but with the family value system in place, it's a toss up
(and we should have a vbet going)

The first contract is not the life cornerstone to financiaL security
it's the second one... and best to get there while still the youngest you can be

Thanks for the heart and soul play Ryan! Was hoping to see you back for your leadership, but completely understand and agree with the decision.
You've earned the love and respect of a grateful Buckeye Nation. Best of luck and here's hoping for a long and prosperous career in the league!

Kid gave everything he had for this football team and tOSU. I have to wish him the best of luck and hope he gets on with a good team. Thanks for your contributions Ryan!

Something tells me our LB's are going to be really good next year even without him. Just need to find a leader in the group.

Ohio State football: Ryan Shazier will enter NFL draft

Ohio State linebacker Ryan Shazier will forgo his senior season and enter the NFL draft.
Shazier, a 6-foot-2, 230-pounder from Plantation High School in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., was the Buckeyes' and the Big Ten's leading tackler in the 2013 season, which concluded Friday with a 40-35 loss to Clemson in the Orange Bowl. He had 143 tackles, including 22.5 tackles for loss.

“It was a tough decision for me because my college experience at Ohio State has been amazing,” Shazier said. “I”ve had the opportunity to build great relationships with some great people. I love Ohio State, I love my coaches and I love my teammates.

“However, I just want to fulfill of playing in the NFL. I’ve been dreaming of playing in the NFL since pee-wee football, and I’ve been working and striving to do whatever I can to get there. And I feel like now is the time.”

Shazier was a two-time first-team all-Big Ten selection and was named first-team all-American by the Associated Press. He is projected to be taken in the late first round or early second round of the NFL draft.

The Rev. Vernon Shazier said his son thoroughly enjoyed his time at Ohio State.

"It was a win-win," Rev. Shazier said. "We gave them our best and they gave us their best."
