“I Sure As Hell Don‘t Plan on Sitting the Bench”:

The weeks following the MCL tear that Jack Sawyer suffered in the final game of his junior season – on Nov. 8 – were torture as he tried to slowly gain back the strength and flexibility in his knee.

But apparently the incredible athleticism and explosiveness the Buckeyes’ five-star defensive end commit possesses on the field is partnered with an impressive recovery rate off of it, too. By Jan. 13, Sawyer already told Eleven Warriors that the rehab process was “going phenomenal” and that he was “way ahead of schedule already.”

Then we saw it for ourselves, as Sawyer sent a video of himself doing ladder drills working on foot quickness, and the drill went as smooth as it had prior to this injury.
