Emeka Egbuka Says “It Kind of Sucked” Missing Three Games with Ankle Injury, But He’s Ready to Do “Whatever My Team Needs” Now

It wouldn’t have been easy for Emeka Egbuka to play against Penn State just two weeks after spraining his ankle, but the Ohio State wide receiver did everything he could to try to make that happen.

“You could ask anyone at the facility, I would be here at 7 a.m. and I would leave at 9 p.m., and I wasn't doing anything physical. I was all just doing rehab on my ankle, because I was so determined to play,” Egbuka said.

After suffering the injury early in the fourth quarter of Ohio State’s first game of October against Maryland, Egbuka knew he wouldn’t be able to play the following week against Purdue.
