Ohio State Football: Offensive coach loading up on defense

Even though Urban Meyer was known as an offensive guru he always loaded his Ohio State football team with outstanding defensive players. Ryan Day leaned well under coach Meyer and is doing the same.

Here is a look at coach Day’s defensive players in the 2020 recruiting class and those on board in this year’s class so far.

Let’s first look at Larry Johnson’s defensive linemen.

2020 recruiting class

  • DT Darrion Henry 6 ft. 4, 279 pounds
  • DT Jacolbe Cowen 6 ft 5, 262
  • SDE Ty Hamilton 6 ft. 3, 250

Henry and / or Cowen could end up playing defensive end because they are athletic pass rushers.
