Ohio State '19 OH LB (RS SR) - Tommy Eichenberg ('21 Rose Bowl Defensive MVP, '22 and '23 First Team All-BIG)

Tommy Eichenberg, LB
In the aftermath of the loss in the Peach Bowl, Eichenberg said he remained undecided about his future. His stock took a significant leap after breaking out in Jim Knowles’ defense, showing great instincts to swarm ballcarriers. His 120 tackles were the most by an Ohio State player since 2014. But Eichenberg was only a junior in eligibility this past fall, allowing him to return as a redshirt senior if his draft grade isn’t to his liking. A return would be a major lift to the defense.
