  Taron Vincent believes his time is now. Ranked as the top defensive tackle by 247Sports in the 2018 recruiting class, the junior has had his career hampered by injuries. A shoulder injury derailed his 2019 season and carried over to last year. But now he's healthy and seemingly poised for a breakout season. "I'm back to my regular self," Vincent said. "I was the No. 1 D-tackle for a reason. I'm finally healthy. I'm ready to compete and go to work with my guys. My body feels great and my mind feels great." He said he turned the corner physically late last season. Vincent drew praise from coach Ryan Day during spring practice and has continued that momentum. "Taron Vincent has really had a great camp," defensive line coach Larry Johnson said.

Vincent is part of a deep group of interior linemen for the Buckeyes. Haskell Garrett is a preseason All-American based on his breakthrough 2020 season. Antwaun Jackson and Jerron Cage are the other veterans, and several young players are pushing to join the rotation. But Vincent could be a difference-maker if he stays healthy. Johnson has his interior linemen training to play both nose guard and the three-technique tackle. Garrett said a duo with him and Vincent in the middle of the defensive line could be "very special." "I think we're a crazy duo," Vincent said. "He's my guy. We know how to play off each other, so it'd be great." Vincent, listed at 6 feet 2 and 305 pounds, is the son of former five-time NFL Pro Bowl defensive back Troy Vincent. He credits his mother's side of the family for his size. But his father's guidance has been instrumental to his football development. It has also been crucial in helping him cope with injuries. - Columbus Dispatch
