Ronnie Hickman may not have been quite as obvious of a choice as C.J. Stroud and Jaxon Smith-Njigba to represent Ohio State at Big Ten Media Days. But bringing Hickman to Indianapolis wasn’t a hard choice for Ryan Day.
Day said there were as many as 10-15 Buckeyes who he would have felt good about bringing to Big Ten Media Days, and Ohio State has plenty of returning veterans who could have been logical candidates to represent the Buckeyes’ defense at Lucas Oil Stadium. Hickman was the one who Day felt checked every box for what Ohio State wants in a media days representative.
