OSU's Johnathan Hankins is the biggest man on campus.
Ohio State Buckeyes defensive lineman Johnathan Hankins (52) stops Illinois Fighting Illini running back Donovonn Young (5) for a loss.Not only is Ohio State defensive tackle Johnathan Hankins a big man on campus, but at 335 pounds, Hankins is one of the biggest men defensive players in the nation, writes ESPN's Adam Rittenberg.
Every time "Big Hank" blows up a double team or drops a running back in the backfield, the number 335 is bound to be mentioned, whether it's on the television broadcast, the radio broadcast, Twitter or by fans in the stands. Hankins' size makes him stand out.
But Hankins spent the offseason focused on a different number: 60.
Ohio State's defense averaged 60.7 plays per game in 2010. Hankins wanted to make he'd be on the field for all of them in 2011.
The big man also seems to be getting stronger with each game, Rittenberg writes. Hankins opened Big Ten play with six tackles and a sack against Nebraska. He followed that game with a team-high nine tackles against Illinois.
