While Ohio State coach Ryan Day continues to do what he can in the hopes of leading his Buckeyes on the field this fall, Day’s program has just suffered its first opt-out to the 2021 NFL Draft.
After passing on the opportunity to leave school early for the 2020 NFL Draft, offensive lineman Wyatt Davis has made the decision to leave Ohio State in preparation for the 2021 NFL Draft, Pete Thamel of Yahoo Sports reports.
“My family and I were waiting to hear any good news that there would be a possibility to play in the fall,” Davis told Yahoo Sports. “As the weeks went on, after the initial cancellation, the news didn’t seem in favor that we would have an opportunity to play for a national championship if there was a season. At this point, my family and I made the decision that it would be my best decision to take the next step.”
Davis started all 14 games for Ohio State last fall for an offense that averaged 46.9 points per game. Davis, a team captain last season, was named Player of the Game after Ohio State’s 28-17 win over Penn State.
Following his outstanding redshirt sophomore season, Davis was named a First-Team All-American by Associated Press, CBS Sports and The Sporting News.
