On Monday, Ryan Day announced the seven team captains that will represent Ohio State this season.
The list of players includes Jordan Fuller, J.K. Dobbins, Chase Young, K.J. Hill, C.J. Saunders, Tuf Borland and Jonathon Cooper.
"I think they are a great representation of the program. They are a group of guys that I think epitomize what we want an Ohio State football player to be," Day said. "I think they understand what it means to be a captain. Very, very well-respected, unbelievable group of guys. Really cool. Couple of two-time guys in there."
Jordan Fuller, a captain last season, has 119 solo tackles and has assisted on 35 in his three seasons at Ohio State. Additionally, he has three interceptions, six passes defended and two recovered fumbles.
