No. 47 Lives Again in Columbus in Justin Hilliard
At a historic college football program like Ohio State, it is hard to be considered one of the best of all time. Seven Buckeye players have been labeled as such by having their numbers retired – eight if you count Troy Smith’s No. 10, which is considered “enshrined".
Right at the top of this list is Chic Harley, who played for OSU from 1916-19, and his No. 47 is memorialized in Ohio Stadium.
A quick look down the Buckeyes’ 2015 roster finds freshman linebackerJustin Hilliard as No. 47.
“I didn't know how that works, and so he wanted I think it's 47,” head coach Urban Meyer said of how this came to be. “That's Chic Harley if I remember right, and everyone knows the respect that we all have, myself and Luke Fickell, so I asked Gene [Smith], because [Justin’s] dad brought it up to me. It's a great family, and I get how important, when I was that age, numbers were important. At this age I don't care. But their ages are important, and so if he's a good guy, takes care of his work in the classroom and he handles his business, which he does, I brought it up and they said, shouldn't be a problem, and we talked to the Harley family, I personally did.”

You know what? Chicken butt.
Seems like I feel this way about several new guys who haven't blown up yet but I have Justin in there with guys like E Smith, C Samuel, etc who haven't really been major factors but will be absolute studs once they leave C Bus. Expecting huge things out of the new #47.

Where has this guy gone? Booker is getting a lot of love this offseason as a possible starter in the fall but it was Justin that I thought would pick up the defense faster and really make an impact. Haven't heard anything about him in a while but I'm hoping he makes himself known in spring ball.

He had an injury plus he's a freshman. Booker is going to be a junior.

JUSTIN HILLIARD AND THE FIGHT TO STAY HEALTHY TO PROVIDE OHIO STATE WITH DEPTH AT LINEBACKER
Despite what his lofty recruiting ranking would suggest, Justin Hilliard's ability to be an impact college football player remains a mystery.
“We all had no idea what he could do because he’s been hurt for I believe two years now,” Urban Meyer said on Tuesday. “And it’s time.”
Hilliard wore an orange, non-contact practice jersey during Ohio State's sixth spring practice, a result of what his head coach said was a recent strain of one of his biceps muscles. The highest rated prospect in the program's 2015 recruiting class — and the group's only 5-star prospect — the Buckeyes expected him to contribute right away in some capacity and push for a larger bit of playing time after exits by Darron Lee, Joshua Perry and Raekwon McMillan.
It hasn't happened yet. A tear of his biceps muscle forced a redshirt two years ago, then Hilliard only played in three games last season (mostly on special teams) before he ripped the same muscle on the other arm in September. The injury carries with it a six-month recovery and rehabilitation period after surgery.
Like Meyer said, the Buckeyes haven't really seen what he could do at the college level because he can't stay on the field.
Early in spring ball, though, Meyer and new linebackers coach Billy Davis like what they see from the St. Xavier product — the one who wears Chic Harley's legendary No. 47.
“He’s been very impressive the first few days and he’ll be in the mix,” Meyer said.
Davis added last week that Hilliard is “doing great.”
Davis has extensive experience in the NFL, having coached 26 years with eight different franchises. One of the names Davis brought up when asked about Hilliard was D'Qwell Jackson, a linebacker he coached in Cleveland with the Browns in 2011 and 2012.
“I had D’Qwell Jackson with the Cleveland Browns and he had popped both biceps also. I shared that with Justin and D’Qwell has gone on to have a great Pro Bowl career in the NFL so there’s no issue with the biceps at all,” Davis said. “Sometimes you’re snake bit like D’Qwell Jackson was and Justin is having a good start to spring ball right now.”
