It’s no secret the Ohio State football team has a load of offensive talent on its roster, but there is also an expected improvement coming on the defensive side of the ball that showed itself even in the spring. A lot of that skill is with some of the sophomores like Marvin Harrison Jr. and TreVeyon Henderson, but there are also some more traditional four-year players that could break out this year.
