Ohio State bid farewell to one defensive mainstay prior to Friday's Cotton Bowl in Denzel Ward, and another elected to make the same decision following the victory over USC.
Standout defensive end Sam Hubbard announced Saturday that he has elected to forgo his senior season with the Buckeyes and enter his name into the 2018 NFL Draft.
Following a season in which he registered 42 tackles, seven sacks, and two forced fumbles, Hubbard has positioned himself to potentially be an early- to mid-round selection for a team looking to add some explosiveness to its pass rush.
