Haskell Garrett Staying at Ohio State for Additional Year of Eligibility

Ohio State's 2021 defensive line just got a massive boost.

All-American defensive tackle Haskell Garrett announced Tuesday that he will use his additional year of eligibility and stay at Ohio State for the 2021 season, putting his NFL aspirations on hold for one more year.

Under normal circumstances, Garrett would have exhausted his collegiate eligibility as a senior this season. Thanks to the NCAA granting all athletes an additional year of eligibility, though, seniors had the choice to continue playing collegiately for one more season, and Garrett decided to take advantage of that opportunity.
