The Ohio State football team would love nothing more than the linebacker to find a role on the team this year.

K’Vaughan Pope came to the Buckeyes as part of their second-ranked 2018 recruiting class. He was the number nine outside linebacker in the country, and was joined in the class by fellow linebackers Dallas Gant and Teradja Mitchell.
