Ohio State football veteran starter questionable to play against Western Kentucky

Ohio State football released its status report prior to facing Western Kentucly.

If he cannot play, the Buckeyes have several options behind him. Sonny Styles, the starting nickel safety, repped extensively at bandit in the spring. Ja’Had Carter has played all three safety positions. True freshman Malik Hartford started at adjuster last week but yielded to Carter after the first series.

With or without Ransom, the OSU secondary faces its biggest test of the season. Western Kentucky throws the ball more than almost any team in the nation, and does so out of a run-pass option heavy attack that tests defenses’ discipline. Quarterback Austin Reed led the nation in passing yards last season, and his top receiver, Malachi Corley, totaled over 100 catches.

Ohio State’s secondary is off to a strong statistical start. It ranks seventh in yards per attempt allowed and 12th in opposing quarterback efficiency rating. However, neither Indiana nor Youngstown State seriously tested the Buckeyes through the air.Freshman linebacker/defensive end Arvell Reese, who was injured on special teams last week against Youngstown State, is listed as out.
