Ohio State already has one five-star defensive end for the class of 2021, as Jack Sawyer will be coming in with the potential to be a game-wrecker.
But imagine a scenario where Sawyer is able to line up opposite another premium defensive end, locking down the line's bookends, giving opponents fits in the outside run game and both coming around the edge to suffocate Big Ten quarterbacks.
That scenario is very much in play as five-star defensive end Tunmise Adeleye, the nation's No. 3-ranked strongside defensive end out of Tompkins High School in Katy, Texas, has the Buckeyes at the top of his list along with Alabama, Auburn, Texas, Texas A&M, Florida and LSU.
