## Resource

Matt Patricia has to find a way to replace a bunch of stars from Ohio State's defense that was arguably the nation's best. And he's doing that by multiplying his options. There's a chance the 2026 defense is the deepest OSU has had in quite some time thanks to a massive influx of talent in the transfer portal, plus some young guys already in the program who are ready for action. On this episode of Buckeye Talk, Stephen Means, Stefan Krajisnik and Andrew Gillis break down the defense from a holistic view to decide just how many options Patricia has.
