Ohio State football will suit up Saturday against Nebraska, but the team’s first status report gives insight into who may have to wait to make a 2020 debut.
Graduate linebacker Justin Hilliard and redshirt freshman defensive tackle Jaden McKenzie were listed as the Buckeyes’ only game-time decisions. Ohio State listed 12 players — including running backs Marcus Crowley and Miyan Williams — as unavailable in its initial report.
Notable omissions from the report include senior defensive tackle Haskell Garrett, who suffered a gunshot wound to the cheeks Aug. 30, and sophomore defensive tackle Taron Vincent. Both of their absences indicate the potential to be available for Saturday’s opener.
