Ohio State lands another big man via the transfer portal from Baylor
Just a day after Jake Diebler shared an update on where the Ohio State basketball team is and is headed, the Buckeyes landed another key addition to the roster. 6-foot-10 center Joshua Ojianwuna has committed to wear the Scarlet and Gray for the upcoming season. Ojianwuna comes to Columbus via the transfer portal after spending three years with the Baylor Bears. While in Waco, the native Nigerian averaged 5.3 points during his time in Green and Gold. His most productive year came this past season, where he averaged 7.4 points per game on 77 percent shooting and added 6.4 rebounds while starting 23 games. He helped lead the Bears to a 20-15 record and a No. 9 seed in the NCAA tournament. Ojianwuan is a former four-star recruit and top 100 player. Ojianwuna joins 7-footer Christoph Tilly and Brandon Noel as the latest to join the Buckeyes via the portal. Ohio State needed to address its lack of size on the inside, and Diebler has kept his focus on that need to help the Bucks be able to handle the physical play of the Big Ten. Ojianwuna will have one year of eligibility left and should be a nice addition for the Buckeyes. Need a break? Play the USA TODAY Daily Crossword Puzzle

25-Year-Old College Football QB Makes Decision on Eighth Year
Providing clarity on what was one of the bigger unknowns of the college football offseason, Utah Utes quarterback Cam Rising made a decision about his future. Although he had the option to return for what would have been his eighth season of college football, the former four-star recruit from the class of 2018 took to social media on Wednesday to clarify his situation. Advertisement With the post captioned "Bad Moon Out," Rising revealed that a hand injury suffered in the team's Week 2 win over the Baylor Bears after he was shoved into a water cooler will prevent him from playing football again. He is medically retiring at this time. Rising does say in the post that he plans to get surgery on his hand and rehab the injury, but in the "meantime," he is "forced" to medically retire after being told by two different orthopedic physicians that he will "never" be able to play football again. While it's unclear if Rising was waiting for clearance to return to football before he went through the process, there was a possibility that he could have received an eighth year thanks to a medical redshirt for this past season.

Advertisement During 2020, he suffered a season-ending shoulder injury in the first game of the season. He then returned in 2021, taking over as the starter three games into the season. After leading Utah to a Pac-12 title in 2022, he suffered a horrific knee injury in the team's Rose Bowl loss to the Penn State Nittany Lions, which led to him missing all of 2023. This past season, he suffered a hand injury in Week 2 before returning in Week 7, when he suffered a lower-body injury against the Arizona State Sun Devils that led to his being ruled out indefinitely. It is unclear if Rising declared for the draft or went through any pre-draft process activities. Regardless, he left a lasting legacy in Salt Lake City.
