The 2015 football season just ended, but Urban Meyer already has a trio of leaders for his 2016 team in mind.
Quarterback J.T. Barrett, soon-to-be center Pat Elflein and middle linebacker Raekwon McMillan have already been named captains for the 2016 season, Ohio State's head coach said Thursday.
Barrett was a 2015 captain as a redshirt sophomore. Elflein started the last two seasons at right guardĀ for the Buckeyes and McMillan grew into a Butkus Award finalist this year, his first as a starter.
Meyer said that Ohio State is going to add a few more captains come August like usual, but these three were essentially no-brainers.
"It's done," Meyer said.
