Ohio State Star Chase Young Will Miss Maryland Game Amidst Potential NCAA Rules Violation

Earth-shattering news has arrived out of Columbus for the No. 3 Ohio State Buckeyes. Star defensive end Chase Young has become one of the best defenders in the country and is cemented in the Heisman Trophy conversation.

However, Ohio State has confirmed the 6-5, 265-pounder will miss Saturday's game against Maryland and is facing a suspension due to possible NCAA rules violations.

In its weekly status report, Ohio State confirms that "Chase Young will not play in this Saturday’s game between the Buckeyes and the Maryland Terrapins due to a possible NCAA issue from 2018 that the Department of Athletics is looking into."

It goes without saying, but this is absolutely the last thing head coach Ryan Day and Co. need going on in their program right now. Young is a sheer force in the trenches. In eight games this season for the 8-0 Buckeyes, the junior has posted 29 tackles and 13.5 sacks. In addition, he also has five forced fumbles to his name.

However, with this latest report, there appears to be a good chance he's going to miss extensive action for Ohio State.
