Ohio State football gets great news about defensive tackle Mike Hall Jr.

Great news to start the week for the Buckeyes

Ohio State football has been playing without one of its top defensive players, tackle [autotag]Mike Hall Jr.[/autotag], on-and-off for the last few weeks.

The junior last received playing time against Michigan State, and he has missed multiple games this season. When Hall is on the field, the Ohio State defense is better.

The rumors were he could have played against Minnesota, but the coaching staff held him out. On Monday, straight from Hall’s mouth, he let everyone know he should be good to go against Michigan.

It’s great to see the Buckeyes getting back to full strength, something that has hindered their performance in the last few seasons. Tommy Eichenberg should also be back along with a healthier Emeka Egbuka at wide receiver.

Hall should have a very positive impact for the Buckeyes this weekend. We are looking forward to seeing big No. 51 back on the field for Ohio State.

BOOM! Ohio State gets a commitment from transfer SEC defensive tackle

The rumors were true and finish with a BOOM! #GoBucks

The Ole Miss to [autotag]Ohio State[/autotag] transfer pipeline this offseason has been flowing.

During the initial transfer period, the Buckeyes landed cornerback Davison Igbinosun, who will play an integral role this fall.

Today, another former member of the Rebels is following Igbinosun, defensive tackle [autotag]Tywone Malone[/autotag]. Earlier today the buzz was that the 6-foot, 4-inch, 305-pound defensive lineman was trending to Columbus. Turns out those rumors were true.

What remains to be known is if Malone will play baseball for the Buckeyes, as he did for the Rebels. He only played in a few games over the last two years but showed big-time power. Three of his five hits went over the fence.

Like on the diamond, Malone didn’t see the field much for the Rebels in two seasons registering just 13 tackles and 2 sacks. He was a top prospect coming out of high school, the Buckeyes offered him then as well.

Malone now lands in Columbus with the expectation that he will add some depth to the defensive tackle unit. [autotag]Mike Hall Jr[/autotag]., [autotag]Ty Hamilton[/autotag] and [autotag]Tyleik Williams[/autotag] all should be contributors this fall barring injuries. You can now add Malone to that list as the Buckeyes just got a bit deeper.
