One of the areas that Ohio State has recruited and developed as well as anyone is defensive end. From Joey and Nick Bosa to Chase Young, there has been no shortage of elite pass rushers at Ohio State.

However, that has dwindled in the past couple of seasons. Zach Harrison never quite lived up to his recruiting ranking and Jack Sawyer and J.T. Tuimoloau did not meet expectations as freshmen.

Enter in Kenyatta Jackson. He is one of the most talented edge-rushing prospects in the country and has a very high ceiling. At 6-foot-5, 235 pounds, Jackson possesses an elite frame and has the potential to get bigger. He is very explosive off the edge and can disrupt any play at any time.

Look for Jackson to challenge for playing time early on with Sawyer and Tuimoloau and make an instant impact.
