Ohio State football kicks off in less than a month, and we have been rolling through the best of the best of the Big Ten at each position. We have already completed our list of top five quarterbacks, running backs, wide receivers, tight ends, offensive tackles, guards, centers, and defensive ends.
The Buckeyes lost all three of their starting linebackers from the 2020 season and judging by the lack of presence on this list, it’s pretty clear someone will need to step up.
As always, we give you this list with more disclaimers than a credit card terms and conditions section. It’s early way before the ball is put down anywhere for real, and you’ll see injuries, breakout players, and disappointments.
