Tackett Curtis (LB Southern Cal, transfer to Wisconsin)

Well at least now I can get a laugh out of that, but it took a couple years of aging and a lot of shouting at the TV. But I was in the camp that probably was more infatuated than need be due to the highlight film of Curtis just blowing people up. He would have been a great get, but in Knowles' defense I don't think we are going to see a huge drop off losing a LB like Curtis as opposed to missing a top-shelf DL or DB, which I think is what @osugrad21 was getting at in terms of position importance on the defensive side of the ball. You just need more DL and DBs in 2022. And addressing LB, I think the absolute world of Hicks and Powers in the last class...really think those 2 are going to be a force out there for us for several years, which softens the blow on this one even if it does blow.
Powers and Hicks have looked really good the last two weeks against MSU and Minny. Hicks sure does bring the lumber.

Now that Elarms-Orr is off the board, OSU's top target at linebacker is likely Tackett Curtis, who entered the transfer portal earlier this week. Curtis had a top three of USC, Wisconsin and Ohio State before ultimately signing with the Trojans in the 2023 recruiting class, and he was a priority target for Jim Knowles. Knowles has reached out to Curtis since he entered the portal, per 247Sports, and there is believed to be mutual interest between the two parties.
