Ohio State Cornerback Davison Igbinosun to Return for 2025 Season

Igbinosun, a standout defensive player, aims to improve his NFL Draft stock while leading a young Buckeyes defense.

Davison Igbinosun, Ohio State's starting cornerback, has announced his decision to return for his senior season instead of entering the 2025 NFL Draft.
Igbinosun has been a two-year starter for the Buckeyes since transferring from Ole Miss, contributing significantly to their 2024 national title run.
The 6-foot-2, 192-pound cornerback brings physical traits coveted by the NFL but seeks to address his high penalty count, which led the nation last season with 16 coverage infractions.
With Ohio State projected to lose at least nine defensive starters, Igbinosun will take on a leadership role for a young and inexperienced defensive unit in 2025.
His return strengthens the Buckeyes' secondary, where he will pair with fellow starter Jermaine Mathews and guide promising but untested players like Aaron Scott Jr. and Devin Sanchez.
