Ohio State Suddenly Has Its Most Talented Defensive Tackles Since Urban Meyer's Arrival

If you blinked, you might have missed it.

After years of questions surrounding the defensive tackle position at Ohio State, the Buckeyes suddenly have their deepest and most talented group of interior linemen since Urban Meyer's arrival in Columbus.

It happened seemingly overnight, but it was also a long time coming.

Ohio State's recruiting misses at defensive tackle over the years have been well documented. During Meyer's first five years, the Buckeyes signed a top-five player at every single position except defensive tackle. In fact, they only signed one player, Tommy Schutt, who was ranked in the top 10 at the position.
