Here in Buckeye Nation, we know about NFL Defensive Rookies of the Year. Former Ohio State stars have claimed four of the last five honors with Joey Bosa starting the trend in 2016, Marshon Lattimore making it back-to-back in 2017, then — after an odd outlier in which Darius Leonard stealing the award for South Carolina State for a year — Nick Bosa and Chase Young returned balance to the world by winning the award in 2019 and 2020 respectively.
This is a tradition as engrained in Ohio State fandom as “Script Ohio” and chocolate and peanut butter candy balls.
