The recruiting cycle for 2022 is in the books. The Ohio State Buckeyes had a consensus top-five class in the country and are considered the No. 1 class in the Big Ten by a wide margin. The defensive line has been less than spectacular as of late, but Caden Curry may be the missing piece.

The most appealing part of Curry’s game is his potential versatility. He has the ability to develop into a star pass-rusher at either defensive end or on the interior. Curry should also have no problem adding enough size to be a force against the run on the interior as well. He can be used as a chess piece…
