Daily Buckeye Blitz: Michigan Killers #7: Why A.J. Hawk Was the Heart of Ohio State's Silver Bullets

Some Michigan Killers are remembered for one unforgettable play. A.J. Hawk is remembered because he never stopped making them. In this episode of the Michigan Killers series, we look back at Hawk's journey from freshman reserve on Ohio State's 2002 national championship team to becoming the unquestioned leader of Jim Tressel's Silver Bullets. Along the way, he finished 3-1 against Michigan, led the Buckeyes with 11 tackles in the 2004 victory, won the Lombardi Award, and helped define one of the greatest defensive eras in Ohio State history. 🏈 Daily Ohio State football coverage. 🔴 Subscribe for more Buckeye football every day.
