Jack Sawyer’s Four-Sack Spring Game Didn't Surprise Ryan Day

On only five occasions in the history of the storied Ohio State football program has somebody recorded four sacks in a single game. Just five times.

Once by Jason Simmons in 1991, once by Bobby Carpenter in 2005, once by Vernon Gholston in 2007, once by John Simon in 2012 and once by Chase Young in 2019. The most recent time it happened – when Young wrecked the heralded Wisconsin offensive line – the sack artist thrusted his name into Heisman Trophy conversations.

Jack Sawyer won’t be on anybody’s award watchlists in the preseason. Nothing outside of perhaps some preseason Freshman All-American teams.
