The Ohio State football team has eight linebackers on scholarship, but just two arrived on campus with bonafide inside linebacker designated rankings on 247Sports. Now the Ohio State scheme only has two linebackers and the rotation for both is likely going to be fluid, but to keep things simple I just wanted to recap the two that were rated as inside backers and provide the ratings for the remaining six next time.
The obvious star of this group is Tommy Eichenberg who had an extremely surprising breakout season in 2022. Eichenberg went from being a fringe-level starter to an All-American caliber player that deserves a parade for announcing his return.
