Ohio State lost a ton of experience and talent with all the returning players who decided to put off the NFL to come back last year .

The defending College Football Playoff national champions have begun putting some of the puzzle pieces together for another run this fall .

Here is our first take at trying to determine what the depth chart will be on the defensive side of the ball when Ohio State trots out of the tunnel at Ohio Stadium in Game 1 of the 2025 season.

Jermaine Matthews Jr. is ready to step in and be a starter after playing behind Burke and Igbinosun .

Devin Sanchez is too good to keep off the field, so look for him to get time just behind the top two corners.

Caleb Downs might be the best defensive player in all of college football so you can write his name in as the starter with a sharpie.
