COLUMBUS, Ohio -- The Reese’s Senior Bowl defense will be full of Ohio State football talent.

Defensive tackle DaVon Hamilton became the third Buckeye to accept an invitation to the annual All-Star game. He joins linebacker Malik Harrison and cornerback Damon Arnette Jr. as expected participants in the game.

Hamilton has enjoyed a breakout season as a senior, starting all 13 games and collecting 25 tackles (9.5 for loss) and five sacks. His interior defensive presence has galvanized an Ohio State defense that ranks third nationally in scoring defense, first in tackles for loss and sixth in opponents yards per carry.
