Ohio State Buckeyes Joining a new squad might be daunting for some players. Chase Young is the exception.
The recently acquired New Orleans Saints defensive end has spent the last month getting to know his new teammates and coaches in preparation for the upcoming season. Fortunately for Young, the former Ohio State Buckeyes standout has already shared a locker room with the majority of his current colleagues.
The Saints now have three former Buckeyes on their roster (excluding Young): cornerback Marshon Lattimore, linebacker Pete Werner, and receiver Chris Olave. Young expressed his eagerness to work with both familiar and new faces, including head coach Dennis Allen.

“I’m excited,” Young stated. “Being with Coach Allen, Big Cam (Cameron Jordan). Pete Warner, I went to college with. Marshon (Lattimore), he was before me…I was (at Ohio State) with (Chris) Olave. I feel like It’s Ohio State University over there a little bit.”
Young and Werner were together for Ohio State’s 49-28 victory over the Clemson Tigers in the 2020 Sugar Bowl, as well as the 52-24 loss to Alabama in the National Championship the following week.
Olave also took part in the aforementioned games alongside Young and Werner. Lattimore has yet to share the field with Young, as the defensive end previously stated.
