Sevyn Banks is using his additional year of collegiate eligibility, but it won’t be at Ohio State.
After Ryan Day said Monday that Banks would be “moving on” from Ohio State, Banks has opted to enter the transfer portal rather than enter the 2022 NFL draft.
Banks, who played four seasons at Ohio State and graduated from the university in December, has one more year of collegiate eligibility after the NCAA gave all players a free year of eligibility in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. While Banks left the door open in his statement for a possible return to Ohio State, it’s uncertain whether he would be welcomed back to the Buckeyes, especially considering that they are currently seven scholarships over the 85-man limit.
