There is only one week left until the official 2024 College Football season is underway, and it was just recently announced by head coach Ryan Day who the captains will be for The Ohio State Buckeyes.
Day stated, per the team's official website, that Jack Sawyer, Emeka Egbuka, TreVeyon Henderson, and Cody Simon will lead the Buckeyes this season.
DE Jack Sawyer has played a total of 39 games the past three seasons where he racked up 85 tackles 14 sacks (leads team) and 19.5 tackles-for-loss (second on team). Sawyer looks to continue where he left off last season, where he ranked second amongst all defensive linemen, collecting 48 tackles and 24 solo stops.
WR Emeka Egbuka is poised for yet another phenomenal season. Alongside his Big-Ten honors, Egbuka has accumulated 124 total receptions and over 1,800 yards. Ranked as ESPN's third best pass-catcher for the 2024 season, the veteran receiver looks to add on to his 14 career touchdowns.
