Antwuan Jackson Moving Forward with NFL Draft Preparation After Missing Final Game at Ohio State with COVID-19

Ohio State’s starting nose tackle missed the final game of his career due to a positive COVID-19 test for the second year in a row.

Antwuan Jackson was supposed to conclude his six-year college football career by playing his last game as a Buckeye in the Rose Bowl on New Year’s Day. Instead, Jackson was forced to watch the game from a hotel room, where he spent his entire week in Los Angeles after testing positive for COVID-19 following the team’s arrival in Southern California.

“I got COVID as soon as I got there, so that was a sad situation,” Jackson told Eleven Warriors.
