VISIT TheBuckeyeCast.com https://thebuckeyecast.com/ Ohio State must replace All-American defensive end Caden Curry in 2026 — and the Buckeyes' national championship hopes may depend on how this defensive line reloads. In this episode of the Buckeyes Roster Reset series, we break down: * How Ohio State replaces Caden Curry's 11-sack season * Kenyatta Jackson's expected breakout year * What Alabama transfer Qua Russaw brings to the pass rush * Projected snap counts for every major defensive end * Sack and TFL predictions for Jackson, Russaw, and the young depth * Can five-star freshman Khary Wilder contribute early? * Is the defensive end room deep enough for a CFP run? Ohio State defensive coordinator Matt Patricia will need pressure off the edge in 2026 — especially with a brutal Big Ten schedule ahead. We analyze whether the Buckeyes' defensive line can avoid a drop-off and remain one of the top pass-rushing units in college football. If Ohio State is going to compete for a College Football Playoff berth and another Big Ten title, this position group has to deliver. 🔔 Subscribe for daily Ohio State football analysis 👍 Like the video if you believe Kenyatta Jackson can hit double-digit sacks 💬 Comment: Who leads Ohio State in sacks in 2026? 🔴 Subscribe for daily Ohio State football analysis 🎧 Also available on Spotify & Apple Podcasts Monday, February 16, 2026   Join Kalshi and Get $10 Subscribe to the Podcast 📺 Watch On YouTube https://www.youtube.com/thebuckeyecast LIKE 👍 and SUBSCRIBE to the YouTube channel  https://www.youtube.com/@TheBuckeyeCast?sub_confirmation=1 ⭐️ Get Your Buckeye Gear ON SALE NOW!!!
