Ohio State football running back to enter the NFL draft

Thank you Chop!

In the midst of Ohio State football seeing multiple players enter the transfer portal on Monday, the Buckeyes will lose one of their running back contributors for a different reason.

Junior [autotag]Miyan Williams,[/autotag] has declared for the NFL draft, effectively ending his Ohio State career without playing in the Cotton Bowl. Over the last four seasons, the Ohio native rushed 258 times for 1,554 yards, 20 rushing scores, while adding 143 receiving yards.

Williams had issues with injuries during his time in Columbus, and as a running back, moving on to the NFL makes plenty of sense. The shelf life for the position is extremely short and given his inability to stay healthy, this wasn’t a surprising move.

We wish Miyan the best in the NFL, and hope to see plenty of success at the next level.
