Ohio State wide receiver Corey Smith, a fifth-year senior this past season, was injured in early October against Indiana. The injury was to his leg, which was rolled over on a play where Smith was blocking. The broken leg was unfortunate, as Smith was ruled out for the remainder of the season. Now, Smith and the Buckeyes are hoping to get a final ruling on the status of his application for a sixth-year of eligibility from the NCAA, in hopes of playing one more season at Ohio State. Nothing official has been ruled per a spokesman that the Bucknuts staff talked to, though Dontre Wilson made a post on Instagram that Smith would be returning for another season.
