Just when you thought you had seen the last of college football, along comes the Reese’s Senior Bowl like it does this time every year. It’s one last chance for outgoing seniors to compete against some of the best in college football both in practice and the game down in Mobile, Alabama.
There always seems to be a few Ohio State players taking part in all of the fun, and we’ve seen some guys significantly improve their draft stock by showing out during the weeklong practices and game (insert Terry McLaurin and hit play).
This year, defensive linemen Tyreke Smith and Haskell Garrett, along with tight end Jeremy Ruckert put their silver helmets on one more time to represent themselves and Ohio State. At the end of the day, Smith and Garrett helped their National team to a 20-10 win, but the highlight of the day from both came when Smith gobbled up the American quarterback, Malik Willis, and brought him down for a sack late in the first quarter.

Now it’s on to the 2022 NFL draft where both players are projected to be mid to late-round picks. We’ll have to see if their performances in the Senior Bowl helped their draft value when the annual spectacle takes place in April.
