COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Ohio State announced senior defensive end Jonathon Cooper will take a redshirt for the 2019 season and will return to the team for the 2020 season. Cooper has only played in three games this season due to injury and still has a fifth year of eligibility remaining.
Cooper participated in games against Nebraska, Northwestern and Rutgers while dealing with an ankle injury all season. He was voted as a captain prior to the season, but has been unable to see consistent time on the field.
