Ohio State Defensive End Mitchell Melton Standing Out in Spring Practice, Aiming to Stack Healthy Seasons for First Time

Blocking Mitchell Melton at Student Appreciation Day 10 days ago looked like a waking nightmare for Ohio State’s offensive tackles.

The fifth-year senior backup defensive end invaded the backfield constantly, putting pressure on quarterbacks, grabbing a sack or two and blowing up plays.

“I think for a majority of the spring I’ve been feeling more confident in my abilities,” Melton said. “Even with everything that’s happened in the past, I still think I have a lot to give and a lot to give to this program.”

A lot has certainly happened to Melton in his first four years with the Buckeyes.
