Ohio State football pass-rusher expected to make his debut at The Shoe this weekend

Highly anticipated transfer Logan George out of Idaho State is looking like he will finally make his debut in an Ohio State uniform this week as the Buckeyes take on Ohio in The Shoe. While Ohio State played mostly the first stringers against Texas, they were able to play more backups against Grambling State, but to the surprise of many, George never made it on the field.

Head coach Ryan Day said that even though he got a full week of practice in last week, George will get another this week and most likely hit the field for the Buckeyes for the first time against Ohio.

George dealt with an undisclosed injury throughout fall camp, and it seems that could have been the reason for his absence on the field, but now he is going to get his shot at making the jump from FCS to FBS.

Coming from Idaho State, George had 57 total tackles, 19.5 tackles for a loss, and 6.5 sacks last season and is hoping to make his mark on the Ohio State defense. George has a solid spring with the Buckeyes after transferring at the end of the 2024 season. It was reported that he challenged the Ohio State offensive line, which is one of the top in the country, pretty well, which was a nice surprise for the defensive coaches.

"I think he's quicker than I thought he was," defensive line coach Larry Johnson said during the spring practices. "He's got power, he's got really strong hands to get off blocks and set the edge. So I'm really excited about what we're going to have to do with him."

George, of course, will be in the rotation of the defensive line and most likely won't be a starter for the Buckeyes, but he has the chance to make his mark this weekend, and if he can impress the coaches well enough, he could work his way up in said rotation.
