Summary

This is what Ohio State fans pined for.

New defensive coordinator Jim Knowles brings hope the Buckeyes can return to defensive dominance. Several years of subpar performances sandwiched around a Jeff Halfey-led radar blip meant change was in order. Now it's about getting current personnel up to speed and finding prospects that best fit the Knowles approach.

Translation: Ohio State needs several defensive tackles and safeties - the latter of which has an added emphasis in the scheme.

So how is this for synergy? Our Bill Kurelic has identified four safeties and three defensive tackles the Buckeyes are chasing and Duane Long is here to let you know what he thinks of each prospect. (Kurelic has also identified cornerbacks and receivers Ohio State is chasing which we will tackle next Tuesday).

We also discuss Payton Kirkland setting up his third Ohio State visit and break down what the Florida offensive lineman brings to the gridiron.
