Summary

Ohio State's linebackers were considered a weakness two seasons ago. Last year they improved quite a bit as a unit. And now in 2020, they are expected to be one of the strengths of the squad. Jonah Booker joins Dave Biddle on today's show to go in-depth about the Buckeyes' backers and what to expect from each of the key members of the unit this season. Also, who are some young players who are stepping up on the defensive side of the ball for OSU? All of that and more is coming your way on the Friday 5ish.
