Which Members of Ohio State's Class of 2018 Need to Step Up Most and How the Buckeyes Will Manage Their Crowded Linebacker Depth Chart

It's a big year for Ohio State's recruiting class of 2018, and the Buckeyes need a bunch of their third-year players to step up to be a national championship contender in 2020.

That's where we start on this week's episode of Real Pod Wednesdays, going along with the Third-Year Reset series we're in the midst of here at Eleven Warriors, and consider which members of the highly touted class of 2018 the Buckeyes will most be counting on to have breakthrough seasons this fall.

We continue our State of the Position series with a look at Ohio State's linebackers, in which we weigh how Al Washington and Greg Mattison can best utilize their seven upperclassman linebackers this season while also discussing which younger linebackers we have high expectations for in the future.
