He did not file paperwork to enter the NFL Draft, which was due today for OSU/Notre Dame players. “I’m coming back to school to be a first-round draft pick,” he told ESPN. <a href="https://t.co/wReBcftbwM">pic.twitter.com/wReBcftbwM</a></p>— Pete Thamel (@PeteThamel) <a href="https://twitter.com/PeteThamel/status/1882952632337375575?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">January 25, 2025</a></blockquote><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></span>

<p>He opened his career by starting 10 games for Ole Miss as a true freshman from New Jersey before he decided to have a change of scenery for the remainder of his college football career.</p>



<p>Once he <a href="https://www.on3.com/teams/ohio-state-buckeyes/news/ohio-state-football-buckeyes-transfer-portal-davison-igbinosun-ole-miss/">entered the transfer portal</a> after that impressive freshman season at Ole Miss, Igbinosun chose the Buckeyes over Tennessee, Michigan, Texas A&M and Ole Miss.</p>



<p>Then he became a piece of the best defense in college football in back-to-back season. Igbinosun started every game for the Buckeyes on their way to a national title this season and started 12 of 13 total games at Ohio State in his first year with the program. All in all, Igbinosun has 38 career starts in just three years of college football between his time with the Rebels and the Buckeyes.</p>



<p>But he’ll have more time in college football. Igbinosun is returning for one more season with the Buckeyes.</p>
