What went into your decision to return to Ohio State and play this year?
I couldn’t see myself being anywhere other than Ohio State with the bond I’ve grown with the coaches and some of the players here. I couldn’t leave without having a year under my belt that I felt like I’ve made an impact on this program.
This is going to be a young team, how is the chemistry so far?
It’s been going really well and a lot of the younger guys have been able to gel in with us and it feels really comfortable. We’re all going to figure out a way to make it work.
