A once-promising career for Brian Snead is over, at least at Ohio State.
After playing in the first two games of the 2018, Snead did not see the field at all the remainder of the year — he didn’t even make the trip for the Week 3 game against TCU — with OSU declining to publicly address the running back’s status with the football program. Friday, the player took to his personal Twitter account to announce that he has to “part ways with Ohio State University” and will transfer to an undetermined elsewhere.
No specific reason for the parting of ways was given or if it was mutual or forced.
A four-star member of the Buckeyes’ 2018 recruiting class, Snead was rated as the No. 3 back in the country and the No. 17 player at any position in the talent-rich state of Florida. In those two appearances as a true freshman, he ran for 37 yards and a touchdown on 11 carries.
