Jack Sawyer (born May 6, 2002) is an American college football defensive end for the Ohio State Buckeyes.
Early life
Sawyer was born on May 6, 2002, in Columbus, Ohio. He grew up in Pickerington, Ohio, and attended Pickerington High School North, where he played basketball and football. He was rated a five-star recruit and the best collegiate prospect in the 2021 class by ESPN. After making the school's varsity football team as a backup tight end, he was moved to defensive end and finished the season with 58 tackles, 16.5 tackles for loss and 3.5 sacks. Sawyer committed to play college football at Ohio State shortly after his sophomore season, when he recorded 62 tackles, 15 tackles for loss, and six sacks. He choose the Buckeyes over offers from Michigan, Notre Dame, Penn State, and Oklahoma.
Due to injuries, Sawyer took over as the Panthers' starting quarterback during his junior season. He completed 79 of 135 passes for 1,056 yards and nine touchdowns while rushing for 386 yards and six touchdowns and was named the Ohio Capital Conference-Ohio Division Defensive Player of the Year after recording 13.5 sacks and 19 tackles for loss before suffering a torn MCL in the state playoffs. Sawyer opted not to play in his senior football season due to uncertainties surrounding Covid-19.
College career
Sawyer enrolled at Ohio State a semester early. He won the Rose Bowl in 2022 with the team, but was ejected during the game for targeting Utah quarterback Cameron Rising. He is notable for his participation in a post-game brawl against his team’s arch-rival, in which he ripped up their team flag, foiling an attempt by an opponent in planting their flag on his home field after the contest concluded. He ultimately had to be restrained from seemingly attempting to fight the Michigan players.
