Lathan Ransom has been no stranger to injuries during his Ohio State career.
Ransom broke his leg in the Rose Bowl at the end of the 2021 season, forcing him into a lengthy recovery process that sidelined him for most of the 2022 offseason. After coming back strong from that injury, Ransom missed the Buckeyes’ final five games of 2023 with a Lisfranc injury in his foot. Ransom has spent so much time with Ohio State’s athletic training staff, particularly physical therapist Adam Stewart, that they’ve become like family to him over the last three years.
“I always joke around (with Stewart) and be like, ‘Man, he's gonna be in my wedding’ 'cause of how much he's done for me here,” Ransom said.
