In the midst of the college football offseason, Ohio State football has a new series called “Tradition Talk.”
In the second episode of the series, former Buckeye great and current graduate assistant James Laurinaitis spent nearly 10 minutes talking with current Ohio State linebacker Steele Chambers about the Buckeyes’ rich tradition at the linebacker position.
Chambers named his Mount Rushmore of Ohio State linebackers, which includes Laurinaitis because of “all of his accolades,” Tom Cousineau because he was the No. 1 overall pick in the NFL draft, Ryan Shazier because he “modernized the position” and his roommate Tommy Eichenberg, a pick with which he acknowledged his “recency bias.
