Ohio State RB Marcus Crowley to Medically Retire, Ryan Day Says

Ohio State football coach Ryan Day announced Friday that running back Marcus Crowley will medically retire after suffering another “significant injury.”

Day did not provide specific details on the recent injury that has brought the running back’s college career to a close. However, Crowley did not participate in the team’s spring practices.

Crowley, who will be a senior in the fall, tore his ACL in the Buckeyes blowout win against Maryland in 2019 and did not play the first five games of 2020 as he rehabbed from the injury. However, Crowley reinjured the knee during the Buckeyes off week in October, which kept him off the field for the remainder of the season.
