Baron Browning Officially Announces He's Returning to Ohio State

The Ohio State Buckeyes have already lost JK Dobbins and Jeff Okudah to the NFL Draft. But fans can take solace in one member of their stout defense not going anywhere.

Linebacker Baron Browning revealed on Twitter that he will be returning to Columbus for his senior season.

Browning was a rising star on the Buckeyes defense this past year. But now with Malik Harrison graduating, Browning has the chance to be the everyday inside linebacker and build his stock for the 2021 NFL Draft.

In 11 games this season, Browning recorded 11 tackles for loss and five sacks, both of which were tied for third-most on the team. All in all, Browning accumulated 43 total tackles on the season.

As everyone knows, the Buckeyes openly embrace the "next man up" mentality, given their reputation of being a farm for elite NFL talent.

Even so, Ohio State has to be happy that Baron Browning is returning for one more year to help the Buckeyes get revenge after their College Football Playoff loss to Clemson.
