Ohio State football has named the seven team captains that will lead the Buckeyes for the 2019 season.
This year’s group has two returning from 2018 in safety Jordan Fuller and linebacker Tuf Borland.
The rest of the captains include defensive ends Chase Young and Jonathon Cooper, running back J.K. Dobbins and wide receivers K.J. Hill and C.J. Saunders.
“I think they are a great representation of the program,” head coach Ryan Day said. “They are a group of guys that I think epitomize what we want an Ohio State football player to be. I think they understand what it means to be a captain. Very, very well-respected, unbelievable group of guys. Really cool.”
The 2019 captains were voted on by their teammates. Day said they announced the results of the voting Monday morning.
“They did an unbelievable job selecting. I talked to them before about what it means to be an Ohio State captain, the tradition that comes with it, the guys that have come before them,” he said. “Also you’re not voting for your best friend or your buddy. You’re voting for somebody that's going to represent the school, somebody that you respect. I thought they did a great job.”
