Ohio State’s roster along the defensive line is deeeeeep, so not surprisingly there’s been some attrition at the position.
Just ahead of National Signing Day Wednesday, Dylan Thompson took to Twitter Monday night to announce that he has decided to leave the OSU football program. As the lineman will be leaving the Buckeyes as a graduate transfer, Thompson will be eligible to play his fifth year at another FBS school if that’s the football tack he chooses to take.
The upcoming season will be Thompson’s final year of eligibility.
Forever grateful🙏🏼 pic.twitter.com/tbgLpRfEpb

A three-star member of the Buckeyes’ 2014 recruiting class, Thompson was rated as the No. 22 strongside defensive end in the country and the No. 18 player at any position in the state of Illinois. Injuries and academic issues helped to limit Thompson to just two games during his time in Columbus, with both appearances coming in 2017.
