Ohio State defeated Alabama 42-35 in the Sugar Bowl. How have the Buckeyes fared against the Tide in recruiting since 2012? Over the next couple of weeks I will compare Ohio State's and Alabama's recruiting by position during the Urban Meyer era.
Between 2012 and 2015 Ohio State signed 7 Outside Linebackers and Alabama signed 10 Outside Linebackers.

It is easy to see that Justin Hilliard is happy to be a Buckeye.
