LB Steele Chambers (Official Thread)

Very excited to watch him play this year as he's one of the most underrated players in the B1G. He's the most NFL-ready LB OSU has had since Shazier, IMO. Extremely athletic with size that mirrors many of the top LBs in the league. He has rare pursuit ability and can take angles on carriers that most LBs can't. Stopping a 10 yard run for 2-3 yards doesn't look amazing on the stat sheet, but it's incredibly valuable.

On Monday, representatives from the East-West Shrine Bowl named Chambers the Shrine Bowl Defensive Breakout Player of the Week after he collected eight tackles (four solo), one tackle for loss, one pass breakup and one interception in the Buckeyes' 63-10 win over the Hilltoppers on Saturday.



Chambers' eight tackles ranked second on the team behind fellow linebacker Tommy Eichenberg, who recorded 10 tackles (nine solo) in Ohio State's 53-point blowout victory. Chambers also accompanied Tyleik Williams, Jack Sawyer, Mitchell Melton, Lathan Ransom, Jaden McKenzie, Denzel Burke and Omari Abor as one of eight Buckeyes to record a tackle for loss, and he was one of two Buckeyes along with Jermaine Mathews Jr. to record an interception.

  • C.J. Hicks crashed the interview and asked Chambers what his mindset is when he enters the football field. Chambers responded it’s the Mario Theme Song after he picks up a star.
  • On Ohio State’s run defense: “I think we’re improving a lot. We’re very gap-sound as of now. There’s still some plays where someone might get a little antsy and get out of their gap trying to make a play but you have to trust the guy next to you that he’s going to be in his gap and someone is going to make the play and the tackle.”
  • On Cody Simon: “I played with Cody all throughout spring ball. Anyone in that room I can play next to, it’s awesome.”
  • Chambers said Ryan Day was adamant this week about taking things day by day and preparing for Minnesota and to not look too far ahead to next week.
  • On how his fifth year at Ohio State has been: “You never really realize it until you get to that moment. Like they said one time in 'The Office,' you never really realize you’re in the good times until you get there. But Tommy (Eichenberg) and I realized this is the last time we’re going to be chilling at the hotel room on Friday nights and you only get a few more weeks of hanging out with guys at the house and stuff. So you’re just cherishing those moments.”
