Cade Stover, Tommy Eichenberg, Marvin Harrison Jr., JT Tuimoloau, Xavier Johnson and Donovan Jackson are among the leading candidates to be captains for Ohio State this season.
As Ohio State prepares to play a challenging schedule that includes six road games in 2023 and looks to bounce back from back-to-back losses to Michigan, strong team leadership will be important for the Buckeyes if they are to return to the top of the Big Ten and the College Football Playoff this season.
None of Day’s Ohio State teams have had more than seven captains, so we don’t expect a repeat of 2017 when Urban Meyer’s Buckeyes had nine captains. But there are at least that many players who are likely to draw consideration in the team voting when it takes place during preseason camp in August. “That's the guy that I always go to to talk, no matter what it is,” fellow linebacker C.J. Hicks said this spring. “Football, life, whatever.”The best player on the team usually ends up being selected as a team captain, and there’s no debate that Harrison is Ohio State’s best player entering 2023.
After starting his Ohio State career as a walk-on and establishing himself as one of Ohio State’s most versatile players, Johnson seemingly checks all the boxes to be a captain as one of three sixth-year seniors on the Buckeyes’ roster this year.by playing every role he’s been asked to play, spending time at wide receiver, running back and even cornerback while becoming a staple on special teams.
Considering Williams was among Ohio State’s six captains last year, he could easily be right behind Stover and Eichenberg on this list. His role for the 2023 Buckeyes is more unclear than theirs, however, due to continued battles with injuries that kept him off the field for most of last season and all of this spring.
