Bennett Christian didn’t let his suspension prevent him from continuing to develop as an Ohio State tight end.

Christian was suspended for the entire 2023 season after he tested positive for a banned substance during an NCAA drug test last January. He said the suspension stemmed from taking a supplement he purchased at a nutrition store without checking with Ohio State’s training staff to see if it was permitted.

Christian was shocked when he was initially informed of the suspension, which he said he was unable to appeal. But he didn’t allow himself to mope about it.
