Sevyn Banks Listed As Game-Time Decision, Emeka Egbuka Unavailable for Ohio State’s Game Against Michigan State

Ohio State will be without its lead kickoff returner and could be without one of its starting cornerbacks for Saturday’s game against Michigan State.

Emeka Egbuka, who has the nation’s fourth-highest kickoff return average with 417 yards on only 13 kickoff returns this year, is among 15 Ohio State players who are listed as unavailable for Saturday’s game against Michigan State

With Egbuka out, it’s uncertain who will handle kickoff return duties versus the Spartans. Xavier Johnson is the only other Buckeye who’s returned multiple kickoffs this season. TreVeyon Henderson was Ohio State’s lead kickoff return for the season opener at Minnesota, but he hasn’t played a special teams snap since.
