2012 Media Guide: Ryan is coming off a superb true freshman season in 2011 and is locked in as a starting linebacker in 2012 … he played in all 13 games last year and started the final three games … he recorded 57 tackles, the most by a true freshman in the last 15 years (Andy Katzenmoyer had 86 as a true freshman in 1996; Donnie Nickey was a red-shirt freshman when he had 73 in 1999) … played brilliantly in his starts, making 30 tackles in those three games after starting “will” linebacker Andrew Sweat was sidelined with a concussion … made his first career start – vs. Penn State – memorable with a two-year-best team high 15 tackles … he was named the Big Ten’s freshman of the week for his effort and later was awarded the team’s Agonis Club Rick Meyer award for his play against Penn State …
had eight tackles the following week vs. Michigan despite being severely hampered with a bad knee
… totaled 10 tackles at not-quite-100-percent vs. Florida in the Taxslayer.com Gator Bowl … had six solo tackles and seven total vs. Purdue after Sweat went out with his injury … Ryan made noise all year with big special teams hits and blocks … his block of a Wisconsin punt led to a Buckeye touchdown from the 1, a game Ohio State would eventually win, 33-29.

High School: All-state outside linebacker from Florida … 87 tackles, 19.5 sacks, 4 forced fumbles, 4 blocked kicks for Coach Steve Davis … Broward County most outstanding player … 35.5 career sacks, a school best … Under Armour All-American Game.

Personal: Son of Shawn and Vernon Shazier … enrolled at Ohio State in January.
