KYLE YOUNG (SENIOR)
What he’s done: The fourth-year senior big man played sparingly as a freshman, started half of the season as a sophomore then became a full-time starter as a junior. Young, standing 6-foot-8, averaged 7.5 points and 5.8 rebounds in 22.9 minutes per game last season. When healthy, he’s shown an ability to impact games significantly with his hustle, physicality and rebounding. A 58.5 percent shooter as a junior, Young knows his role and sticks to it. He has battled lower-body injuries, though, in each of the past two seasons.
Next season’s outlook: Not having Kaleb Wesson inside anymore would mean Young will likely start at center. It’ll be quite a bit different for Young, who played alongside the big man the past three seasons, but Ohio State needs him to thrive in it. If he can expand his offensive game, potentially adding range to his shot, he’d become an even more important big man. Regardless, he’ll be locked into a heavy-minutes frontcourt spot.

Head Coach
i cannot accept kyle young missing his senior season because kyle young will not accept kyle young missing his senior season. if it's kyle young versus the ncaa and/or the coronavirus, i'm taking kyle young because i think kyle young wears them down in the second half. neither the ncaa nor any virus is prepared for kyle young's level of tenacity.

Current, former Buckeyes stars set to graduate
Ohio State is much more than just an NFL factory. The Buckeyes coaching staff and administrators stress academics and stress earning a college degree. Two current Buckeyes football players will earn their degrees this weekend.
Linebacker Baron Browning and captain Shaun Wade will receive their degrees Sunday afternoon. Browning, a communications major, will be a key part of the Ohio State linebacker room this season. Wade put off the NFL to return to the Buckeyes, and the sport industry major will earn his degree, as well, while becoming a leader of the Ohio State secondary. Former Ohio State football player Michael Bennett will receive his degree, too.
Buckeyes basketball star Kyle Young is also graduating Sunday. Former Ohio State basketball player Trevor Thompson is also a part of the graduating class. In total, 27 current and former Ohio State athletes will graduate.
