Defensive Tackle Taron Vincent Could Be the Key to Rebuilding Ohio State's Defensive Line

Ohio State's defensive line is going to look very different this fall.

The Buckeyes have to find a replacement for the program's best-ever pass-rusher in Chase Young, who set a new single-season benchmark for sacks (16.5) despite serving a mid-season two-game suspension in 2019.

They'll also need to replace their two starting defensive tackles in DaVon Hamilton and Jashon Cornell, as well as the defensive line's top rotational player in Robert Landers. Those three were pivotal in anchoring Ohio State's defensive line and occupying bodies to allow Young to come off the edge.

Some important pieces from that 2019 unit are back.
