Ryan Pedon will be moving on from the Ohio State program after this season.
The five-year assistant coach on Chris Holtmann's coaching staff has been hired as the new head coach at Illinois State, a source confirmed to Eleven Warriors after an initial report by the Columbus Dispatch.
Holtmann recently said Pedon, a Bexley, Ohio, native and Miami (Ohio) graduate, has turned down multiple head coaching offers to remain with Ohio State, but thought it would be difficult to keep him on staff for much longer. Holtmann's hunch was right, as his longtime coworker at both Ohio State (2017-22) and Butler (2015-17) is headed elsewhere.
