McMillan Wants To Be Captain Of Defense

It didn't take Ohio State long to figure out Raekwon McMillan was talented beyond his years, and now the sophomore linebacker who is taking over as a starter wants to prove he's just as mature.

At this time last year, the linebacker group at Ohio State was one of the question marks entering the season.

A year later, it is arguably the strongest unit on the Buckeye defense that returns two of three starters including last year’s leading tackler, senior Joshua Perry.

Sophomore Raekwon McMillan is set to fill in for the departed starter, middle linebacker Curtis Grant, and while McMillan will be entering his first year as a full time starter, sophomore linebacker Darron Lee said he is prepared to take the reins.
