Lathan Ransom Injured and Carted to Locker Room vs. Wisconsin
USA Today Sports

The Ohio State Buckeyes may have suffered a major loss on Saturday night vs. the Wisconsin Badgers. 

Early in the fourth quarter, star Buckeyes safety Lathan Ransom was knocked out of the game with what appeared to be a lower-body injury. 

The injury appeared to come on a non-contact play, with Ransom immediately heading to the injury tent for further evaluation. 

Ransom was then carted to the locker room by the Ohio State medical staff, sending his return to the game into serious question. 

At the time of the injury, Ransom had three tackles and one tackle for loss.

Sitting fourth on the team in tackles, Ransom had 31 total tackles (20 solo and 11 assisted), to go along with one interception, two pass breakups, a forced fumble, a QB hurry, and .5 tackles for loss coming into the game. 

Ransom has suffered a serious injury before, being carted off of the field in the 2022 Rose Bowl as well, breaking his leg against the Utah Utes. 

Ransom, however, was able to come back from that injury, and return to his previous form as a star on the Ohio State defense. 

“Stew and the athletic trainers, they’re the reason I made it back,” Ransom said after that injury. “I did everything they asked me to do. That’s why I’m where I’m at today.”

Ransom is currently questionable to return, though with the game well in hand, it is unlikely that he will return to the field. 

This is a developing story and will be updated as more information becomes available.
