In what will be a theme in 2016 Ohio State spring practice, new faces are set to start at most major positions. That fact also holds true at the back end of the defense, where two-year starters at safety Tyvis Powell and Vonn Bell are gone to the next level.
Bell and his status as a 2015 All-American joined Powell's million-dollar smile in Indianapolis over the weekend at the NFL Combine. They both left the program with one year of eligibility remaining, but with Big Ten and national championship rings in their pocket felt their time at Ohio State was complete.
