Ohio State’s 2025 defense will be powered by a handful of crucial third-year players stepping into leadership roles. In this episode, we spotlight the most important juniors on defense—players like DE Kenyatta Jackson, DT Kayden McDonald, CB Jermaine Mathews, and LB Arvell Reese—who are primed for breakout seasons.

Why is Year 3 such a pivotal moment in a Buckeye’s development? We break down recent third-year stars like Jack Sawyer and Denzel Burke, and explain why this year's group must rise to championship form.

▶️ Which defenders could become household names this fall? ▶️ How deep can this defense go if these guys hit their ceiling?

Tune in to hear why these third-year Buckeyes could define the 2025 season.
