Ohio State said Friday morning that star defensive end Chase Young would miss Saturday’s game against Maryland.
The athletic department said in a statement that Young won’t play “due to a possible NCAA issue from 2018 that the Department of Athletics is looking into.” No other specifics were given by the school, nor was a timeline given for a resolution to the situation. Per Yahoo Sports’ Pete Thamel, the length of Young’s absence will be determined by pending NCAA appeals.
Young said in a tweet Friday morning that he had accepted a loan from a family friend in 2018 and had then repaid it in full.
