Junior defensive tackle Will Smith (Utica, N.Y.) has decided to return to Ohio State for his senior season.
“I have decided to stay at Ohio State for my senior year,” Smith said. “I want to graduate next year and play for the chance to win another national championship. My grandmother always emphasized graduating from college and while I could have done that had I chose to leave early, I think it would be great to accomplish that in four years and put that part of my life behind me.”
As for junior split end Michael Jenkins (Tampa, Fla.), he will also return to Ohio State for his senior season.
“I considered my options,” Jenkins said. “I gave a little thought about leaving, but I never seriously considered it.”
