Cody Simon’s sophomore season at Ohio State came with plenty of ups and downs.
On the positive side of things, Simon earned his way into the starting lineup by Ohio State’s third game of the season and started each of the Buckeyes’ final 10 games at linebacker. He played the most defensive snaps of any Ohio State linebacker in 2021 and flashed playmaking ability over the course of the year, recording 54 total tackles with 2.5 tackles for loss, one sack and one interception.
Simon wasn’t able to play up to his full potential, however, as he was plagued by a shoulder injury.
