- Ohio State wants to preserve a redshirt year for Dallan Hayden, which is why he hasn't played this year. "What we didn't want to do, in a situation where we have three running backs, we don't want to use a year of his eligibility. ... But Dallan is ready to go ... if it's appropriate, he will play."
Ohio State planning to redshirt running back Dallan Hayden
Ohio State is planning on redshirting running back Dallan Hayden. After finishing as the Buckeyes’ third-leading rusher as a true freshman last season, Hayden has played in just one of the first five games in 2023.“We talked about it in the preseason, going into the season,” Ohio State head coach Ryan Day explained. “And what we didn’t want to do is put Dallan in a situation where, with three running backs [already], we were gonna use up a year of eligibility for him.
“Now, he’s ready to go, he’s practicing. And if appropriate, we’ll put him in the game. We also don’t want to have him play in five or six games without getting a bunch of work in. We just don’t think that’s the right thing to do for Dallan.”
