Steele Chambers Exceeding Own Expectations in Emergence As Starting Ohio State Linebacker After Offseason Position Change

Steele Chambers has gone from being a reserve running back to a starting linebacker in less than four months.

When Ohio State began preseason camp in August, Chambers still wasn’t sure if he even wanted to play linebacker for the Buckeyes. Although he decided to make the full-time move to defense shortly after camp began, he said at the time that it was a hard decision because he loved playing running back and that it had been “insanely frustrating” trying to get up to speed at linebacker after playing no snaps on defense in his first two years at Ohio State.
