As the Ohio State Buckeyes prepare for the College Football Playoff, Emeka Egbuka has been approached by other schools about a transfer.
Emeka Egbuka has not taken the bait, at least not yet. Egbuka doesn’t want to be a distraction as his team, the Ohio State Buckeyes, prepares for a tough game against the No. 1 team in the nation, the Georgia Bulldogs.
Egbuka said he has been approached by schools about a move from Columbus but remains happy at Ohio State. It’s a fun time for rival schools to hunt down Egbuka and the Buckeyes, especially as they play in the CFP on New Year’s Eve.
It is important to note that there is no real way to apply the “tampering” principle in the NIL era. It happens everywhere, and Ohio State isn’t the only victim here. In fact, smaller schools, even those that attend Power 5 conferences, encounter this problem far more often.
Ohio State Buckeyes player Emeka Egbuka will not be traded.
Emeka Egbuka is only a sophomore and has been a vital part of Ohio State’s passing game this season. This year he had 66 receptions for 1,039 yards and nine touchdowns. Importantly, this is the same offense that counts Marvin Harrison Jr.
Having CJ Stroud definitely helps, but Egbuka wouldn’t be wise to go anywhere considering he’s a major focus of OSU. He’s maximizing his visibility and, hopefully in the next few years, could be a prime target for the NFL Draft.
Do Buckeyes fans have reason to worry? Egbuka didn’t say he was happy at Ohio State. Instead he said he was “satisfied”. Word choice is key in this scenario.
Ryan Day has a lot to make up for in recruiting after his loss to Michigan. He may also need to make sure none of his players leave Columbus.
