The accolades for Ohio State football players continue to grow as three defensive players have been invited to the 2020 Senior Bowl thus far. For those unfamiliar, the Senior Bowl is considered the premier all-star game for the country’s best senior collegiate football players and top NFL draft prospects.
The first round of invitations was sent out and the Senior Bowl announced this week that Ohio State Linebacker Malik Harrison, cornerback Damon Arnette Jr., and defensive tackle Davon Hamilton have accepted their invitations.
The Buckeyes defense was ranked No. 2 overall for yards allowed and No. 5 for points allowed. Harrison was the season leader with 69 tackles including 16 tackles for loss, 4.5 sacks, four pass breakups, and two fumble recoveries.
Arnette had 34 tackles including one tackle for loss, 1 forced fumble, seven pass breakups, and one interception he returned 96 yards for a touchdown. Hamilton recorded 25 tackles including 9.5 tackles for loss, five sacks, and one fumble recovery.
Jim Nagy, the Senior Bowl Executive Director, referred to Malik Harrison as “one of the most talented LBs in this year’s draft”:
Harrison is one of the top NFL prospects from the Ohio State senior class and was listed as the 4th best linebacker according to NFL draft analyst Matt Miller.
The Senior Bowl is scheduled to be played on January 25, 2020, in Mobile, Alabama.
