THE HURRY UP: DAVON HAMILTON HELPS LITTLE BROTHER MAKE COLLEGE TRANSITION, JACK MILLER REAFFIRMS COMMITMENT AND TONY GRIMES HAS BUCKEYES IN TOP THREE

BUCKEYE RECRUIT’S BROTHER HANDING DOWN WISDOM

It’s not a secret. Playing college football is harder than playing high school football.

Duh.

So are the rigorous weight training programs, nutrition plans and disciplinary measures. At least at your average collegiate program. Ohio State isn’t just an average program, though. All those things will be even more strenuous in Columbus.

These are obvious truths, but that doesn’t stop plenty of top-level recruits who had been dominant studs on the high school circuit from receiving a Ndamukong Suh-sized wakeup call the minute they hit campus.

No one is in a better position to relay that reality down to at least one soon-to-arrive rookie better than Davon Hamilton.

Hamilton, a starting fifth-year Ohio State defensive tackle, has been able to give his little brother, Buckeyes 2020 three-star defensive line commit Ty Hamilton, some advice as Ty awaits his arrival in scarlet and grey.

“Just prepare to work as hard as you’ve ever worked before,” Davon says of the advice he’s given his brother. “Obviously, it’s not easy. I feel like it’s hard for high school players to understand how hard it is to come here and play.”

Ty is one of just two 2020 defensive line recruits the Buckeyes have committed — although that may soon change — but his on-field production is reportedly picking up steam.

When asked how he thinks Ty has grown as a player from his junior season until now, Davon wasn’t able to give a definitive answer. He’s been a little busy.

“Honestly, I don’t really get to watch him as much because of our games,” Davon said. “But from what I’ve heard he’s been playing really well.”

Ty will come into the program with the same three-star rating as his older brother and has a 247Sports Composite rating (.8635) slightly better than Davon’s was coming out of high school (.8457).

Ty is a a slight notch better than Davon was at this stage of their careers in the eyes of the talent evaluators, and that’s just fine with the older brother. He’ll be more than happy to watch Ty surpass his own success.

“I always wanted him to do better than me,” Davon said. “I feel like with any little brother-big bro thing, if you can come in here and do better than me, I’m gonna be proud of him.”

Ty Hamilton will be Ohio State game-changer
Based on the way things went for him his senior year in high school, and based on the way his older brother kept progressing as a collegian, defensive end Ty Hamilton seems to have a bright future. The defensive end from Pickerington Central blossomed into a major playmaker for the eventual state champion Tigers this year, and along the way committed to an impressed Ohio State coaching staff. Size wise, at 6-foot-3, 254 pounds, he is no spitting image of his old brother DaVon, who grew into the 6-foot-4, 310-pound, nose-tackle cornerstone of the Ohio State defense this season. Ty brings an aggressiveness from the edge that should be enhanced by a few seasons under the development of position coach Larry Johnson and performance coordinator Mickey Marotti. But one thing he and his brother have in common is that Hamilton no-nonsense stare.

Ty Hamilton picks up where DaVon leaves off at Ohio State
Ty Hamilton will have a very productive career with the Buckeyes, and in the end he will be this cycle’s most underrated recruit. Much like his older brother DaVon, the younger Hamilton isn’t coming to Ohio State with a lot of hype from the recruiting circuit. Despite the relatively low recruiting ranking, Hamilton has had an outstanding high school career for Pickerington Central, a school that churns out high-level talent and just won a state title.

“Larry Johnson saw something in him in camp this year that he really liked and then all of a sudden he had a great year,” Day said on Wednesday. “He was kind of terrorizing every team he played. Played big, played strong, and I think he’s got a chance to be really good.”

DaVon Hamilton has been Ohio State’s best interior defensive lineman this season. His younger brother Ty will carry on the family tradition at Ohio State.
