Chip Trayanum transferred from Arizona State to Ohio State to play linebacker, but now he hopes his return to running back is permanent.
The Akron native played running back at Arizona State, but he transferred to Ohio State to play linebacker. With Henderson and Williams hobbled, Trayanum asked to switch back to running back the week of the Iowa game.
“I saw the injuries and I just knew that I could be a potential factor if I was back at running back,” he said. Ohio State coach Ryan Day said recently that no final decision has been made about whether Trayanum would stay at running back next year. Trayanum said that would be his preference, but he's willing to do whatever coaches ask.What Ohio State football defense learned from giving up explosive plays to Michigan
