Ohio State seeks reliable defensive linemen ahead of Big Ten play

As Ohio State approaches Big Ten play, the team is still determining which defensive linemen it can depend on. Coach Ryan Day noted that the current roster features different personnel compared to last season, following the loss of seven defensive starters to the NFL draft. Currently, only Kenyatta Jackson Jr. has logged over 125 snaps among defensive linemen, with Edrrick Houston and John Walker filling key roles in recent games. Ohio State's defensive line recorded two sacks in its last game against Kent State after challenging moments in earlier matches against Texas and Ball State. The Buckeyes need to establish consistent performance to succeed in their upcoming conference matches.
