Joshua Perry spent a good chunk of Big Ten Media Days in 2015 talking about fashion. He was the best-dressed Buckeye by a mile and had the game to match his style.

Now Perry will take his talents and his wardrobe to the next level. The San Diego Chargers selected Perry with the fourth pick of the fourth round Saturday, meaning Perry will remain teammates with Joey Bosa, the former Ohio State defensive end the Chargers drafted with the third overall pick Thursday.

Perry was the 102nd pick and the 11th Buckeye draft. Bosa announced the pick to a crowd in San Diego as the NFL Network filmed him.

Perry started 39 games in his career and finished with 298 tackles, ranking 16th in Ohio State history. He led the Buckeyes with 124 tackles during the national championship season of 2014 and ranked second with 105 in 2015.

In the first round Thursday, five Buckeyes heard their name called. Ohio State fell one short of the first-round record.

Five more Buckeyes were selected in the second and third rounds Friday as Ohio State set a record for most players selected in the top three rounds.
