rangy, smart Buckeye linebacker with NFL-caliber traits
In the 2012 season, Etienne Sabino was a fifth-year senior captain for Ohio State who brought length, intelligence, and special-teams value, and he delivered one of his best games with 8 tackles and a sack against Michigan State[11][13]. Evaluators described him as quick, strong, and rangy, with the ability to diagnose plays rapidly—exactly the kind of linebacker who can fit a disciplined defense, even if injuries, including a broken leg in 2012, interrupted his trajectory[15][10].
