I thought at the time that AJ Hawk might be theīest college Linebacker I had seen.The media pegged USC the best team ever in 2005, but they lost to Texas and Ohio State was right there with both of them that season. AJ Hawk: Some people may disagree with me about Hawk being the best Linebacker, but the Buckeye defense in 2005 was just incredible and gave national champion Texas a big scare before Vince Young brought the Longhorns from behind. This is my thoughts on which ones were the best. As far as top notch Linebackers, Ohio State has had about as many good ones as anyone. Penn State is Linebacker U, but Ohio State has also had more than it’s share of really good Linebackers.
