Nation’s best defensive player doesn’t reside at Ohio State, instead he plays for Clemson

Almost anytime you turn on ESPN’s College Football Live or College GameDay, Chase Young’s name is going to come up in the Heisman Trophy conversation, and deservedly so.

Young, 6-5, 265, is a freak as a defensive end for Ohio State. There is no doubt about it. No one can seem to block him for very long. He currently leads the nation with 13.5 sacks and is second with 15.5 tackles for loss.

However, if Young is in the Heisman Trophy conversation as a defensive end, the only position he plays, why isn’t Clemson’s Isaiah Simmons being mentioned.
