Indoor Football League signs another former Ohio State player

Indoor Football League signs another former Ohio State player #GoBucks #IFL #GoIFL #IndoorFootballLeague

One Indoor Football League team keeps signing former Ohio State football players. The Massachusetts Pirates signed safety Brendon White after making a splash by signing former Ohio State great Cardale Jones earlier in the year.

White was a former four-star recruit from Powell, Ohio, in the class of 2017. He played three seasons for Ohio State, including a 2019 campaign that saw him earn Defensive MVP honors at the Rose Bowl. White elected to transfer to Rutgers and earned All-Big Ten honors.

White had a cup of coffee with the New York Jets in the NFL after going undrafted, and he was most recently in the XFL with the St. Louis Battlehawks. After being released by the Battlehawks, he was quickly picked up by Massachusetts, the 2021 United Bowl champions.

We’ll continue to keep an eye on how these former Buckeyes are doing in their professional careers and let you know of anything interesting that comes out.

Three reasons Rutgers could cause problems for the Buckeyes

Very few people are expecting Rutgers to hang with Ohio State, but with nothing to lose, Rutgers could surprise Saturday night.

Rutgers heads into ‘Shoe to take on a very talented and very favored Ohio State football team. While most people think the Buckeyes will walk through this game, there are a few things that could this one to be closer than anyone expects.

But before we jump into the three things, the first thing I want to point out is that without fans, the games have been a little odd. We can see that teams most certainly feed off the fans and that energy has to be somewhat self-created. Rutgers coming into Columbus could lull this team a little if it is not competitive.

Alas, back to three reasons why the Scarlet Knights could pose some issues for Ohio State.

NEXT … Greg Schiano, Malik Barrow, and Brendon White are known at OSU

Former Ohio State safety Brendon White transferring to Rutgers

Former Ohio State safety Brendon White has announced his intentions to transfer to Rutgers.

We now know where the last Rose Bowl defensive MVP is heading after entering his name in the transfer portal just a couple of weeks ago.

Ohio State safety Brendon White flashed on the scene at the end of last year to somewhat solidify an Ohio State defense that struggled giving up the big play. He provided some playmaking ability on the back end to come up and provide run support, as well as to act as the center fielder and erase big plays down the field.

It worked so much that he became a starter and gained notoriety for his performance in Ohio State’s win over Washington in the Rose Bowl.

But this year has been different.

The new Buckeye defensive staff switched up schemes a bit, and rather than play two high-safeties, has gone to just one more often than not. That has left more cornerbacks on the field and limited the playing time of White. Because of it, and perhaps other reasons we may never know, White entered his name in the transfer portal at the end of the regular season.

And now, we know that White will be transferring to Rutgers according to an announcement he made on his Twitter account Friday.

Of course it makes sense in some ways because former Ohio State defensive coordinator Greg Schiano is now the head man at Rutgers, so he knows White and perhaps the two were able to reconnect and make this happen for the benefit of both.

Either way, we wish nothing but the best for White and hope he finds success in Piscataway.
