Tracy Sprinkle’s story has been defined by overcoming adversity ever since his career at Ohio State.
Going into his second season with Ohio State in 2014, Sprinkle was temporarily dismissed from the team after being arrested on drug charges. After working his way back into the team’s good graces and into a starting defensive tackle spot to begin the 2016 season, Sprinkle suffered a knee injury that nearly ended his career. But Sprinkle persevered through his hardships both on and off the field to regain his spot in the starting lineup in 2017, when he was also a team captain for the Buckeyes.
