Larry Johnson Believes Ohio State Can Maintain Three-Deep Rotation at Both Defensive Tackle Spots Despite Injuries, Inexperience

Out of all the positions on Ohio State’s depth chart right now, defensive tackle might be the one with the biggest depth question marks right now.

Tommy Togiai is in line to start for the Buckeyes at nose tackle, and Antwuan Jackson appears set to play a major role in the defensive tackle rotation, too – potentially as the starting 3-technique, though he can also play nose – as Ohio State defensive line coach Larry Johnson described those two on Wednesday as the “foundation” of what the Buckeyes are doing on their interior defensive line.

Beyond those two, though, there’s far more uncertainty about what the rest of the rotation will look like.
