Carson Hinzman announced he'll return to Ohio State for his redshirt senior season on Wednesday, which will be his fourth and final year as a starter for the Buckeyes.
The move to return makes sense for Hinzman, who is currently projected as an undrafted free agent should he have declared for the 2026 NFL draft. Poor showings from the Buckeyes up front in their final two games likely didn't help his draft stock.
