Three Buckeyes could be the country’s best defenders
How excited can one be about the Nagurski Award watch list?
Well, there are 88 players on it, meaning all of them could say they have a chance to be named college football’s best defensive player. But, regardless of the large number, three Ohio State players made the list — LB James Laurinaitis, LB Marcus Freeman and CB Malcolm Jenkins.
All could have chosen not to return to Ohio State, but all did, meaning that fans are excited to see just how good this season’s defense can be. That also means that next year’s draft should be loaded with Buckeyes after last month’s comparative dud (outside, of course, of the first-round pick of Vernon Gholston).
There are a few other local players of note on the list: Miami University linebacker Clayton Mullins (from Fairborn) and Cincinnati cornerback Mike Mickens (from Wayne High School).
