Joey Bosa once said Darron Lee used to tell people he was the next Ryan Shazier, which was bold talk for a former three-star prospect coming off a redshirt season. But when Shazier left for the Pittsburgh Steelers, Lee was ready to answer the call.
In his redshirt freshman season, Lee took the country by storm; the Tennessean posted 81 tackles (16.5 of which went for a loss), 7.5 sacks, 2 interceptions and 1 forced fumble. He also killed a man during the national title game.
So, it's somebody else's turn to make the leap from obscurity to stardom. Today, Lee gave us some names to watch:
Ohio State LB Darron Lee said WR Parris Campbell is having a big spring for the Buckeyes. "He's going to make a lot of plays for us."

Other names Darron Lee mentioned as having big springs for the Buckeyes: Terry McLaurin, Sam Hubbard, Gareon Conley, Damon Webb.

That's a lot of talent, potential or otherwise, named by Lee. It's just a further reminder that Ohio State doesn't rebuild, it reloads.
It's also a good time to remind you that Parris Campbell is, like, 15-years-old.
