Outside linebacker Chris Worley will return to Ohio State as a fifth-year senior next season and one of his primary goals is to become a captain.

Bucknuts spoke with him immediately after OSU's loss to Clemson in the Fiesta Bowl.

"Yeah, I'm coming back," Worley said. "I mean, I can't lose like this and just walk out of here like this. We've got a bunch of young guys and they need a leader. I have been one of the leaders on this team, but I feel like I can help this team even more."

Worley explained why he wants to be that kind of guy.

"I am that guy," he said. "It's not a matter of wanting to be. I'm just a natural leader and there's guys on this team that I love and I have to help them get better."

Bucknuts asked Worley about the possibility of becoming a captain at OSU.

"That's always on my mind," he said. "If you're a part of something, you want to be considered the leader. I'm not a follower and I've always been a leader. That's one of my lifetime goals is to become an Ohio State captain. So, hopefully that can come true next year."

We have a good feeling it will.
