Kenyatta Jackson gets a lot of hype, and as a Buckeye fan, I hope he lives up to it! Meanwhile Caden Curry gets no hype, and as a Buckeye fan, I don’t understand it. I just looked up their career stats and Curry outpaces Jackson in every meaningful category, every single year since they’ve arrived on campus.

Snapshot below:

Career Sacks: Curry 4.5, Jackson 3.0

Career Tackles: Curry 45, Jackson 25

Forced Fumbles: Curry 2, Jackson 0

I hear constant talk of Kenyatta’s “production” and constantly find myself wondering, what am I missing? 

Curry always seems to make an impact when he’s on the field, his impact is felt through through the screen. Meanwhile Kenyatta, with similar snaps, has seemed like just another guy out there.. what am I missing? 

I went through every single stat line & the only one that Jackson outpaced Curry is fumble recovery: 1 to 0.

Don’t get me wrong, I want them both to be elite! But why is Kenyatta always the one singled out & projected for greatness, while Caden is mostly an afterthought, occasional mentioned as a rotational player?
