Ohio State football signs FCS defensive line

The Ohio State Buckeyes have added Logan George to their roster for next season, signing the defensive end from Idaho State.

Ohio State football has a rich history of developing some of the best defensive lineman in the world. Players like Nick Bosa and Chase Young spent their college days in Columbus.

Logan George is going to try to make a name for himself at Ohio State as well. He has officially signed with the Buckeyes and will play next season in Columbus.

George, who was a standout defensive end with FCS side Idaho State, tallying 19.5 tackles for a loss which led the Big Sky Conference. The 6-foot-5 rusher played and started in all 12 games for the Bengals.

George, per the Idaho State’s bio, set a career-best tackles for a loss against Idaho Vandals with four. He also spent the 2023 season with the Bengals and will take his talents more mainstream into the new year.

It is difficult to known what to expect from George, but Larry Johnson clearly saw something special in the massive defensive end.

With all four defensive lineman from Jack Sawyer to JT Tuimoloau being seniors, adding the extra depth at the position should only bode well for Ryan Day and his squad.

Wisconsin offers sought-after FCS transfer defensive lineman

Wisconsin offers sought-after FCS transfer defensive lineman

Wisconsin extended an offer to Idaho State transfer defensive lineman Logan George on Wednesday.

George, who played two years for the Bengals from 2023-24, has received transfer offers from Ohio State, Missouri, Utah, Texas A&M, Boise State, Oklahoma, Virginia Tech, Georgia Tech and Iowa State.

The 6-foot-5 game-wrecker played and started in all 12 games for Idaho State in 2024. He logged 57 total tackles on the season, including a Big Sky Conference-best 19 1/2 tackles for loss and 6 1/2 sacks.

In his first year with Idaho State, George flashed his future brilliance with 31 total tackles, 4 1/2 tackles for loss and one forced fumble.

George becomes the latest defensive target to join Wisconsin’s transfer portal interest pool.

Thus far, Louisville edge rusher Mason Reiger, Tulane defensive lineman Parker Peterson, Western Michigan defensive lineman Corey Walker, UT-Martin defensive lineman Charles Perkins, Western Carolina linebacker Antarron Turner and Richmond safety Matthew Traynor and Bethel safety Matt Jung have all offered officially transferred into the program.

The Badgers are in need of depth and talent at the position given the challenge of the Big Ten landscape and the recent transfer departures of defensive linemen Curt Neal, James Thompson Jr. and Hank Weber. George fits that bill.
