Former players sometimes fade off into the sunset once football-playing careers are done.

Others, you hear a lot about or from. Especially once former players become analysts, then there isn’t a question as to whether or not you will hear their voices again.

Ohio State fans will be pleased with this recent news: Former Buckeye LB Joshua Perry will be a Big Ten Network analyst starting this fall.

Perry is certainly not the first ex-Buckeye to become an analyst. Just looking at BTN, James Laurinaitis and Stanley Jackson have made the moves to the analyst role.

Perry played at Ohio State from 2012-15, amassing 296 total tackles. He played in 17 career games in the NFL — 15 with the San Diego Chargers (2016) and two with the Indianapolis Colts (2017).
