Deep Group of Ohio State Defensive Linemen Set to Compete for Playing Time in Larry Johnson's Rotation

With spring football set to begin at Ohio State on March 4, Eleven Warriors is taking a position-by-position look at how the Buckeyes' roster is shaping up entering the year's first practice.

As Larry Johnson enters his sixth season as Ohio State’s defensive line coach, he has a lot of talent to work with once again.

Nick Bosa and Dre’Mont Jones are now pursuing careers in the NFL, but every other defensive lineman who saw the field for Ohio State last season is back on the roster for 2019, and the Buckeyes have plenty of young defensive linemen who could make a push this spring to play bigger roles this fall.
