Ohio State superfan LeBron James welcomes back Chase Young

The Ohio State Buckeyes aren’t the only ones happy to see Chase Young back on the field; superfan LeBron James is as well.

The Ohio State Buckeyes aren’t the only ones happy to see Chase Young back on the field; superfan LeBron James is as well.

That said, Young, with a partial sack in the first quarter, he’s in the record books as Ohio State’s single-season sack record holder. Combine that with a tackle for loss, and his presence has certainly already been felt.

Everyone, including three-time NBA Champion LeBron James, knew the importance of Young. James, one of the best ever to play basketball, was born and raised in Akron, Ohio and has been a die-hard Ohio State fan ever since.

James took to his Twitter, which has over 44 million followers, to welcome back the protected top-three pick.

James and the rest of Buckeye Nation will be watching intently as Ohio State looks to capture its tenth win of the season.

Still undefeated, if the Buckeyes win today and again in the Big Ten Championship, they’re a virtual lock to be in the College Football Playoffs. Ohio State is currently leading 7-0.

Chase Young sets Ohio State single-season sack record in first quarter

Chase Young has made his mark on Ohio State-Penn State early on, setting the university’s single-season sack record as well.

Chase Young has made his mark on Ohio State-Penn State early on, and it just so happened with his first sack of the game he set the university’s single-season sack record.

Young, with just under six minutes to go in the first quarter, got to Penn State quarterback Sean Clifford. Just moments before commentators were warning of Young’s dominance.

With 14.5 sacks, Young has now passed Vernon Gholston who set the record in 2007 with 14.0. He’s been an absolute force, and it is key to also remember he was out the team’s previous two games.

The two-game absence may have taken him out of the running for the Heisman Trophy, but he’s still in the record books and can still take this team to some pretty special things in 2019.

Just think of what Young could’ve had as Ohio State won the past two games 129-35. That said, expect Young to have a huge impact on the rest of the game.

Young combined for 14 sacks his first two seasons, playing in 22 games. He is an expected top-five pick in the 2020 NFL Draft.
