In this Daily Buckeye Blitz episode, Joe spotlights sophomore linebacker Payton Pierce, the old-school, sideline-to-sideline tackler ready to make noise in 2025. From 181 tackles in high school to grinding through special teams as a freshman, Pierce is now firmly in the mix for a key role in Matt Patricia's retooled defense. With instincts sharpened by film study and a wrestling background that boosts his toughness and leverage, Pierce is embracing the grind. Hear what James Laurinaitis has to say about this “natural,” and why Pierce’s throwback mentality might be exactly what the Buckeyes need this fall. 🏈🔥 #DailyBuckeyeBlitz #PaytonPierce #LinebackerU #GoBucks #BuckeyesDefense
