Ohio State will be without its best player Saturday against Maryland.

The Buckeyes announced Friday morning that its star defensive end Chase Young was suspended “due to a possible NCAA issue from 2018 that the Department of Athletics is looking into.” Young later released a statement and confirmed it was an NCAA issue.

The Athletic’s Bruce Feldman, who also works for FOX Sports, said sources are telling him that it stems from a loan for the Rose Bowl.

“Sources told me that the issue actually stems from last December when Chase Young borrowed money from a family friend to fly his girlfriend out to California for the Rose Bowl,” Feldman said on FOX Sports. “Now, I’m told he paid that money back in April. Sources said that the family friend in question who loaned him the money is not an agent and not a booster. That’s a significant detail as the NCAA begins to try and sort all this out.”

Young currently leads the nation in sacks (13.5) and is being mentioned as a Heisman Trophy finalist, as well as the No. 1 pick in the upcoming NFL Draft.

Who knows how long it will take the NCAA to sort all of this out, but if we know one thing about the NCAA — it could take its sweet time and it’s hard to tell the outcome of the ruling.
