If you wear jersey No. 2 for Ohio State football, congratulations! You were just named a preseason all-American by The Sporting News. Junior defensive end Chase Young and junior running back J.K.

Junior running back JK Dobbins is expected to be a workhorse for the Buckeyes this season.

This year, there has been talk about getting Dobbins…

While splitting carries with Weber last year in his…

This is a big spring for the Ohio State running back room. J.K. Dobbins is looking to rebound, and Demario McCall and Master Teague are pushing for carries.
When it came time for Ohio State to take the field in 2018, it was Nick Bosa and Jonathon Cooper who were the starting defensive ends for the Buckeyes. Yes, Chase Young played just as much as Cooper, but defensive line coach Larry Johnson was more than comfortable relying on Cooper in a starting role. Bosa’s injury affected…
