Thompson brings college-level experience to a position that desperately needs it.
After sitting out a season due to NCAA transfer rules, sophomore center Trevor Thompson is the heir-apparent to the departed duo of Amir Williams and Trey McDonald. Thompson, who transferred from Virginia Tech after his freshman season, is the only center on the Ohio State roster with any college playing time, and should be near the top of the rotation, along with four-star freshman Daniel Giddens, and redshirt freshman Dave Bell.
Thompson was a three-star recruit coming out of Ben Davis High School in Indianapolis, and took a development year after graduation before committing to Virginia Tech.
