Saturday night’s game at no. 3 Ohio State doesn’t just mark the return for head coach Greg Schiano, who served as defensive coordinator for the Buckeyes from 2016-2018. Starting safety Brendon White returns to Columbus after transferring to Rutgers this past offseason. He spent the previous three seasons at the Big Ten powerhouse, two of which with Schiano. The OSU campus is located just 17 miles away from White’s hometown of Powell, Ohio.
The former four-star recruit and second best prospect in the state of Ohio in the 2017 class had an up and down career with the Buckeyes.
