Togiai really burst onto the scene for Ohio State during the shortened 2020 campaign. He posted 23 total tackles to go with 4.5 TFL and three sacks. He teamed up with Haskell Garrett to create a disruptive duo on the interior for the Buckeyes, and now Togiai will make the move to the NFL with Cleveland.
During the pre-draft process, Togiai flexed his strength with an impressive showing on the bench press. He should fit in nicely as the Browns look to improve their defense for 2021 and beyond.
