What does four-star linebacker Kourt Williams bring to Ohio State?
Blair Angulo - 247SportsSpeed at linebacker has been a hotly-discussed topic among Ohio State fans for a couple of years now. Ever since the departure of Luke Fickell back in 2016, the Buckeyes have struggled greatly in the middle of the field, and that came to a head in 2018, with Malik Harrison serving as the only starting linebacker that looked athletic enough to play division one football at times.
In response, Ryan Day fired Bill Davis and Greg Schiano, and brought in Al Washington, Greg Mattison, and Jeff Hafley. In case you aren’t aware, all three of those coaches value speed, and slow linebacker play really isn’t going to be an option.
