Ohio State football’s top ten players of the decade

As we embark on a new decade of Ohio State football, here’s a look at the ten best Buckeye players from the last one.

No. 4 – Chase Young, defensive-end (2017-2019)

Ohio State DE Chase Young "better" than both Bosa brothers says McShay

Lean and strong, Young has always had the potential to be a break-out star. Injuries and playing second-fiddle to Nick Bosa hampered his impact and development just a wee-bit his first two seasons, but he was one of the biggest stars of the 2019 season.

Young made it to New York as a Heisman finalist this past season, set the single-season sack record at Ohio State, was a consensus First Team All-American, and won too many other national and Big Ten awards to list. All of it while having to sit out two games because of a suspension stemming from a loan that was paid back. He’s an all-timer at Ohio State. He’s likely to be an all-timer in the NFL.

Next … No. 3
