Ohio State signed the best recruiting class in the Big Ten in 2015. Yet, only four of those 25 signees in 2015 saw the field as true freshmen. This year's class has already made a bigger impact.
The season is still young, but 10 players participated in Ohio State's 67-point win over Bowling Green. Some were quite conspicuous. "Little Bear" Nick Bosa had four tackles including a sack while wearing his older brother's college number. Rodjay Burns had a pick-six late in the fourth quarter. Michael Jordan even started at left guard.
The biggest impact may have been Demario McCall. The diminutive speedster had two touchdowns in his first collegiate football game. He was starting his senior season at North Ridgeville by this time last year.
Eleven Warriors will keep a running tab on the 2016 signees and their seasons after every Saturday this fall. You can see the results in our tracker below.
