It appears Ezekiel Elliott is joining Cardale Jones and leaving Ohio State at the end of the college football season. In a post-game interview after the game, Elliott made it clear that this was his final home game with the Buckeyes.
Elliott is a junior and has another year of eligibility at Ohio State. He also ripped the Ohio State coaches playcalling during the Michigan State game. He revealed that he was actually hospitalized earlier in the week with an infection in his leg.
Many draft experts have Elliott as the top running back in the 2016 NFL Draft should he declare.
The Buckeyes have one regular season game left against Michigan and will still likely play in a top bowl game. It appears that Ohio State’s bowl game will be Elliott’s last game in a Buckeyes uniform.
