Ohio State Buckeyes News

Josh Ojianwuna - Hoping for late-July clearance Ojianwuna (knee) is hoping to be fully cleared for basketball-related activities by the end of July, according to Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.

Impact Rothstein's update indicates that Ojianwuna would be ready before the 2026-27 NCAA season, approximately three months after his timetable's earliest date. Because of his injured knee, Ohio State's team has not used him yet. At the very least, Ojianuwna decided to re-enroll there, and ideally, he will be OSU's starting center next season.
