Spring is well over at this point and we’ve already taken a look at what the offensive depth chart could look like for the Ohio State football team, and now we’re turning our attention to the defensive side of the ball.
When we first went through this exercise, we didn’t have the observations we received from reps in the spring and the game film from the spring game, but now we do. There have also been some personnel changes that have reshuffled things just a wee bit, as well as some clarity on the type of defense new coordinator Jim Knowles will run, so it’s a good time to take another look.
We go through this effort a few times a year and will do it again as fall camp arises, but for now, here’s how we think things line up in the two-deep depth chart for the Ohio State defense (including the kickers) after spring ball.
