Ohio State's defense is already showing a new identity this spring — and it starts with Matt Patricia's message: urgency and standard.

In this episode, we break down everything from:

• Matt Patricia's press conference
• Defensive leaders stepping up
• Early standouts from spring practice

👉 Why Patricia stayed at Ohio State over the NFL 👉 The REAL challenge with 51 new players 👉 Freshman LB Cincere Johnson generating major buzz 👉 Transfer DT James Smith bringing SEC-level physicality 👉 Garrett Stover's rising role (and possible versatility) 👉 Jermaine Mathews' "unfinished business" mindset

This defense is rebuilding — but the tone is already clear.

🎙️ Daily Ohio State football talk. No fluff. Just Buckeyes.
