With the commitment of Top 50 recruit Marcus Fakatou, Ohio State has built an elite defensive line in its 2027 recruiting class, with another major addition potentially on the horizon.
In this episode, Bill Landis and Doug Lesmerises delve into the Buckeyes' strategy, how this D-line group compares to the Buckeyes' 2021 D-line crop, whether this is a trend or a one-year change, and how they would make a pie chart of luck, resources and Larry Johnson to describe why this group has come together.
