High-motor, high-football-IQ Buckeye DT who wins with effort
In the 2008 season, Todd Denlinger was a returning starter at defensive tackle for Ohio State, praised for a nonstop motor, strong work ethic, and competitive edge, with coaches noting he could bench press 400 pounds and bring both power and quickness to the interior line.[4] His earlier career was interrupted by a knee injury in 2007, which makes his resilience and reliability part of the appeal.[4] He looks like the kind of disruptive, blue-collar DL who fits a physical defense: not just stats, but strain, toughness, and juice.
