No matter how high the expectations heaped on Jack Sawyer by Buckeye fans, they’d have a hard time reaching the ones he’s placed on himself.

Despite playing the fifth-most snaps (170) among Ohio State defensive ends, the five-star true freshman’s three sacks through 12 games are either equal to or more than any other player on the team at his position. Only three Buckeye defensive ends had more than Sawyer’s three tackles for loss in the regular season.

In spite of all of that, the Pickerington, Ohio, native isn’t satisfied with his first-year performance.
