COLUMBUS — Just days after Ohio State beat Oregon in the Rose Bowl, freshman running back Sam Williams-Dixon informed the Buckeyes staff that he would be entering the transfer portal.

After more than a month in the portal, Williams-Dixon is returning to the program and withdrawing his name from the portal.

In his first season with the Buckeyes, Sam Williams-Dixon logged seven carries for 53 yards. Carries were hard to come by in a backfield that featured a pair of national stars in TreVeyon Henderson and Quinshon Judkins. Both had great seasons for the Buckeyes and will be high NFL Draft picks this spring.

Henderson ran for 1,016 yards and 10 touchdowns, while Judkins was a bit ahead of him at 1,060 yards and 14 touchdowns.

Prior to enrolling at Ohio State, Pickerington North product Sam Williams-Dixon was ranked as a three-star prospect and the No. 766 overall player in the 2024 recruiting class. He checked in as the No. 63 running back in his class and the No. 29 overall player from the state of Ohio.
