Current Ohio State Inside Linebackers and their 247Sports rankings

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.

The other backer is Cody Simon who arrived on campus with some serious recruiting hype and has shown flashes, but has struggled with injuries throughout his career and will look to bounce back in 2023. Enough talking about these two as it is time to now reflect on their recruiting rankings.
