Kenyatta Jackson's Statement Game | Ohio State Buckeyes Football News

Kenyatta Jackson Jr. is poised to take center stage for Ohio State’s defense this season, stepping into a leadership role after a breakout year with 28 tackles, 11 TFLs, and 6.5 sacks. With key veterans gone, he’s expected to dominate the defensive line — and Saturday’s game against Ball State is his prime proving ground. The Cardinals’ offense should give him plenty of chances to rush the passer and make a statement. If he can consistently win off the edge, a multi-sack performance is very much on the table. But don’t overlook the depth: Zion Grady, Qua Russaw, Beau Atkinson, James Smith, Eddrick Houston, and John Walker all bring serious upside. Ohio State doesn’t need one superstar — but if Jackson is ready to be the next great Buckeye defensive end, this game is where we’ll see it unfold.
