Sonny Styles’ first answer when he was asked which Ohio State players he’s seen step up most as leaders this offseason was unsurprising. His second answer might not have been as foreseen.
The first name out of Styles’ mouth was fellow Big Ten Media Days participant Caleb Downs, who seems like a lock to be a captain alongside Styles this season. The second name was a player who’s never started a game at Ohio State, but who’s expected to play a much bigger role this season: Redshirt junior defensive end Kenyatta Jackson Jr.
“I'd say Kenyatta Jackson has done a very good job,” Styles said.
