Fifth-year senior linebacker Cody Simon will wear Ohio State’s “Block O” jersey in 2024.
The fifth-year senior linebacker received the ceremonial No. 0 jersey on Saturday, becoming the fifth Buckeye to earn the honor since the NCAA began allowing players to wear No. 0 in 2020.“I love this program so much,” Simon said in a statement released by Ohio State on Saturday. “I had goals when I got here and even though everything always hasn’t gone the way I’ve envisioned, I couldn’t have asked for better teammates.
“He's the unquestioned leader of the group. He's the leader of the defense,” Ohio State linebackers coach James Laurinaitis said last week when asked if Simon was the Buckeyes’ top linebacker. Simon understands the responsibility that comes with being seen as the leader of not just his unit but the entire team.
