LB Tuf Borland (3x Captain, 2021 Sugar Bowl Def POG)

Tuf is getting guys in the right position and that's something we always undersell. I would have gone with Hilliard but I'm not mad it's Tuf. He's a better match for Bsma than Clemson

personally, I thought Pete was all over the field and should gave won it.

Garret, Togiai, Cooper basicallly any one on the oline. But we underrate Tuf. He is in the right place and gets people in the right space just doesn't have it athletically out wide/in coverage. Give me someone with Tuf's instincts and Browning/Hilliards atheleticism and you have an all american.

Updated thread title, embarrassed that it still just said ‘Official Thread’ after his name.

Hoping to see him stuff Najee Harris at the line a few times.

Was thrilled to see Tuf win the award last night and agree with all of the positive comments. Last night was a time they needed to give the award to the entire defense (how much could it cost to make 15-16 of those trophies?), but Tuf was the guy geting them all into the right position to make the plays.

And praying to god we don’t see him trying to get an angle on Harris in the open field.

He truly is underappreciated. Yeah he isnt the quickest but damn this dude is tough and smart and above all else he is a Buckeye

Thx for the memories Tuf!

Borland joins former Ohio State quarterback J.T. Barrett, who was a captain for the Buckeyes from 2015-17, as the second three-time captain in school history.

Just sayin': 3 time captain is an elite club.

“It’s just crazy that some people don’t see what he really puts in to be a great football player. We all see that. The way he approaches the game is like no other, and his leadership is the best in our unit, almost the best on our team. I wish people saw that more. And he’s really worked hard in the offseason to work on his body and his athleticism, and what you see out of him is going to be great.”
