08/22/22 - DE Tyler Friday, rSr/2023, Ohio State

When Ohio State defensive end Tyler Friday learned he had been selected as one of the team's six captains following last Saturday's intrasquad scrimmage, it caught him off guard. "I couldn't even process it at the moment," Friday said. "I was thinking about practice." Three days later, the news had sunk in. "It's a great feeling," he said. The recognition came after Friday spent most of the past year rehabbing a torn anterior cruciate ligament. His extensive recovery stood out among teammates who watched him take months to return to full strength ahead of his fifth season with the Buckeyes. "He came back grinding," sophomore defensive end J.T. Tuimoloau said. "He came back like he never left."

Friday suffered his ACL injury last summer before the start of preseason training camp, a setback that kept him from stepping foot on the field during the season. He had missed a handful of games due to injuries in previous seasons, but this was his most significant battle to get back on the field. "It was very difficult," Friday said, "but I got a great team here full of brothers. Instead of one brother, I got over a hundred here at Ohio State. During the tough times, I just leaned on them and my family and keep my faith in God, and I was able to get through it." Defensive line coach Larry Johnson said Friday showed leadership prior to his season-ending knee injury, but it was his attitude during the recovery process got everyone's attention. "You saw him every morning, every day, trying to get himself back," Johnson said. "That was impressive to a lot of kids. It set the bar for who he was as a young man." - Columbus Dispatch
