No. 6 – tough to pick, but I’m going with Sam Hubbard.
Hubbard was outstanding in his tenure at Ohio State, but played his entire career in the shadows of the Bosa brothers. While Joey and Nick got most of the spotlight, Sam was holding his own on Saturday afternoons.
Hubbard was named to the 2015 Freshman All-American team as well as being named a captain as a junior in 2017.
Hubbard made the most of what he had. He may not have been as physically gifted as some of his counterparts, but he made up for it with hustle and heart. One of the most defining moments of his career… sacking Trace McSorley in the 2017 come from behind game against Penn State.

Ohio State 6’5” 265. Hubbard was the one to replace Joey Bosa and he has not disappointed.

Hubbard was a third-round draft pick in 2018 by the Cincinnati Bengals and has picked up in the Queen City right where he left off in Columbus.
