Josh Proctor’s standout sixth year continued against Maryland as he recorded a pick-six, seven tackles and 1.5 tackles for loss in the best game of his Ohio State career.
The smile never left Josh Proctor’s face as he fielded questions from the media for over eight minutes after Ohio State’s 37-17 win over Maryland.
On a day when Ohio State trailed for much of the first three quarters before pulling away with 27 unanswered points in the final 24 minutes, Proctor was a constant bright spot. Along with the big play he made to put seven points on the board for the Buckeyes, he made multiple key tackles from the back end of the defense to prevent big plays. He also showed up on special teams, making one of his signature big hits to stop a third-quarter kickoff return at the 18-yard line.
Before this season, Proctor was known as a flashy but inconsistent player. While he has long demonstrated the range to make plays all over the field and has made bone-rattling hits on both defense and special teams throughout his career, he was also too often the player whose missed assignment would lead to a big play for the other team.
“This is a guy who's been through a lot. And you can't substitute experience and maturity,” Day said. “And I'm proud that he's playing like he is, but he's gonna continue to stay on that discipline. Because you can see the talent out there and the physicality. He plays tough. I mean, he comes downhill. There are several pictures in my mind of him showing up at the point of attack and bringing it. So it’s great to see him out there playing like that.
