Mitch Rossi is staying at Ohio State for another season.
The Buckeye tight end is using the additional year of eligibility provided to all players by the NCAA in 2020 to attend graduate school and play a sixth season at Ohio State, his father Tom told Eleven Warriors on Friday.
“Coach Day was very persuasive and believes Mitch can add a component the team needs on offense, on special teams, and as a leader,” Tom Rossi said. “We've been told that there are NFL teams interested in Mitch and another year to showcase himself would benefit him in that pursuit.
