Ohio State Defensive Tackle Jerron Cage to Return For Sixth Season With the Buckeyes

Jerron Cage is back.

The five-year veteran on the Buckeye defensive line will be back for a sixth year at defensive tackle in 2022, as Ryan Day confirmed Monday he will use his super senior season of eligibility next year.

The four-star prospect in the class of 2017 dealt with a shoulder injury to start the 2021 season, but ended up logging 231 snaps as a rotational tackle and occasional starter for Larry Johnson on the interior.

Cage finished the season with 11 tackles, four tackles for loss, one sack and a scoop-and-score touchdown on a fumble recovery against Penn State on Oct.
