Ohio State announced its captains for the 2020 football season on Tuesday via a teleconference call with reporters. Offensive lineman Wyatt Davis, linebacker Tuf Borland, cornerback Shaun Wade, linebacker Justin Hilliard, quarterback Justin Fields, defensive end Jonathon Cooper, and offensive lineman Josh Myers have all been named by their peers as captains for what should be an interesting football season.
For Borland, it’s the third time he’s been named captain, joining former quarterback J.T. Barrett as the only three-time captain in Ohio State history.
Cooper is the other multiple-year captain, having been named twice now. He is back after getting another year of eligibility after redshirting last year. He is expected to be a leader of a young, yet talented defensive line this fall.

The rest of the group are all first-time captains at OSU, an honor that will follow them for the rest of their lives.
We are still waiting for when the season will officially kick (if at all) off after the Big Ten announced a 10-game conference only schedule. According to multiple reports a decision and schedule should be coming in the next day or two, so stay tuned.
