Jack Sawyer is already making a push for playing time on Ohio State’s defensive line.
After just his ninth practice as a Buckeye on Tuesday, Sawyer became one of the first two freshmen (along with wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr.) to have their black stripes removed this spring. That’s usually an indicator that a new Buckeye is off to a great start, and Ohio State defensive line coach Larry Johnson confirmed Friday that he’s been impressed by what he’s seen from Sawyer so far.
“I certainly like where he’s at right now, no doubt about that,” Johnson said.
