Ohio State defensive lineman: ‘We have a lot of sleepers’

It’s that time of year.
Football is back. It is now August and later this month, the 2019 college football regular season begins.
Prior to actual games taking place, however, training camps must go on. At Ohio State, this began on Friday.
Friday’s practice came and went and members of the media got to get their first look at what the Buckeyes look like in the month of August. Ryan Day, the team’s first-year head coach, has stepped in after Urban Meyer’s departure and spoke with the media after practice.
Along with Day, certain Buckeye players got to talk to the media as well and defensive end Chase Young had this to say:

This has to give Buckeye fans something to be excited about. Young is a stud and potential First-Team All-American in his own right. If some of his teammates around him on the defensive line can make big impacts as well, the Buckeyes will be tough to beat.
While many believe Michigan is the front-runner in the Big Ten, the Coaches Poll came out on Thursday and it was Ohio State who was the first-ranked team from the Big Ten coming in at No. 5. Michigan is currently No. 7.
If Young and his teammates can blow up opposing offensive lines, the coaches may be right: Ohio State is the best team in the Big Ten.
