Ty Hamilton announces decision to return to Ohio State for 2024 season

The Ohio State Buckeyes‘ defensive line is keeping one of their top players in Columbus, OH, for the 2024 season. On Monday, defensive lineman Ty Hamilton revealed from his social media account that he will be returning to Ohio State for the 2024 season.

After missing the College Football Playoff this year, many within the Buckeyes program believe that they were deserving of one of the four spots. After being left out of the field of four, many players have taken the stance that 2024 will be a season of unfinished business. And it appears as if Hamilton is also one of those Buckeye players looking to get revenge for the program and capture the national championship next season, as he had this message attached to the announcement of his return.

“First of all, I would like to thank God for the opportunity and blessing it is to be here at The Ohio State,” said Hamilton. “I want to thank my family and coaches for helping me along the way in this journey, but I think there is still some unfinished business that needs to be taken care of for the brotherhood. With that being said, I will be returning for another year. Go Bucks!”
