Chase Young: 2017 - 2019

We have been blessed in recent years with superstar pass rushers (shoutout Larry Johnson). Arguably the three greatest CFB pass rushers of the past decade have been Ohio State Buckeyes.

However, ever since The Predator's departure in 2019, we’ve endured a long winter: we have not had a consistent game breaker at the EDGE position in years.

If he isn’t there already, JT Tuimoloau is smashing down the door to superstar pass rusher territory.

JT saved the game against Notre Dame, and has been eviscerating overmatched tackles all season long. Not to mention being excellent in run defense (it seems like every LJ coached EDGE is awesome in run defense).

In his magnum opus, JT demolished projected top 5 pick Olu Fashanu over and over again this past Saturday.

JT has developed an uncanny ability to come up with massive plays when we need them most - this is what superstars do for their teams.

The coaching staff is seeing JT's star turn too.

They are starting to use him like a chess piece, lining him up all over the formation. Not since 2019 with Chase Young have we done this with a pass rusher.

I'm going to enjoy JT planting JJ McCarthy into the dirt come November, like the great Buckeye superstar pass rushers who came before him.

Go Bucks!
