The Buckeyes' defensive line will be across-the-board strong once again, but Hubbard figures to be its anchor. He has the frame (6-foot-5, 265 pounds) and athleticism to be a big problem for Big Ten offenses this fall, but he's still growing into his role. He was a high school safety and at one point was headed to Notre Dame to play lacrosse, so he hasn't yet captured all the nuances of playing defensive line. But NFL scouts are excited about his potential, and this fall, it looks like he'll also get a chance to show them his ability to drop into coverage.
