Jack Sawyer shares how Ryan Day has created family culture at Ohio State
The Ohio State University has been able to produce a lot of quality NFL players over the years and there are a few more that could potentially get their opportunity to shine through the 2025 NFL draft. A lot of credit has been given to coach Ryan Day and the rest of the coaching staff for creating a culture that allows the team's players to thrive.
On The Bobby Carpenter Show with Anthony Schlegel, Ohio State Buckeyes defensive end Jack Sawyer made an appearance, where he discussed how the reigning national champions are more like a family rather than just a college football program.
"The way our program, our family's structured at Ohio State... it's a family. They love you, we're not doing anything based off fear or, you know, this or that. It's about, look, we're going to get to work, we're going to love each other, we're going to go as hard as we can here with the best coaching staff in the country. This is the best place to develop to go to the next level," Jack Sawyer said.
Below is the full live stream of the show, as the conversation regarding the culture of Ohio State can be seen at around the eight-minute mark.
Jack Sawyer has been an outstanding player and had a career season in 2024. The Buckeyes defensive end finished with 59 total tackles (25 solo, 34 assisted) with nine sacks, three forced fumbles, one interception, and six pass deflections.
