Spring football this year for the Ohio State linebackers began with seven players trying to prove they belonged. Tuf Borland was the sure thing at middle linebacker, but an injury to his Achilles tendon knocked him out of action until around September. Justin Hilliard and Baron Browning then stepped in for him and…
Last week, the NFL Draft saw seven Ohio State Buckeyes selected. Congratulations to all of those young men, and sincere best wishes to all of them as they pursue their dreams of a career in professional football. A popular Tweet that has been making the rounds on social media has discussed how the 2014 Ohio State…
Once the NFL Draft hits the sixth or seventh round, it can be better for prospective draftees to not be selected at all, that way they can have some say in where they end up. And after sitting by their phones all Saturday long without a single ring, once that last pick is made, the phones of those who were not drafted come to life.

Now, the three linebackers who finished the 2017 season are not around, with Worley and Jerome Baker off to…
Chris Worley was a starter the past two seasons for the Buckeyes. In 2016, he was at the Sam and was one of OSU’s most consistent defenders.
