  01/19/23 - SS Lathan RansomrSr/2025, Ohio State, 6-0, 203 (DS#3 SS) + More +

  Lathan Ransom's final impression from the 2022 season involved a stumble and fall, but that was not the sequence that defined the Ohio State football safety's season. That came a month prior to the Peach Bowl, when the Buckeyes were trailing 14-10 at Maryland. Ransom took down tight end C.J. Dippre for an 8-yard loss on second down, which eventually led to a Terrapins punt attempt. Then, for the second time in as many games, Ransom raced in off the edge and blocked the punt, setting OSU up for a go-ahead touchdown. Oh, and Ransom had only recently returned to the game after missing two series - not for performance reasons, but because he needed to have a cast put on the thumb he'd just broken.

Ransom's playmaking skills provided a needed jolt to the Buckeyes' secondary. Now the season's best comeback story becomes 2023?s source of stability and continuity. The safety group enters an offseason of transition and turnover. Ransom's decision to stay for a fourth season rather than pursue the NFL Draft makes him the most tenured contributor in that room. He also possesses upside that could make him a better pro prospect one year from now. - Cleveland Plain Dealer

  01/17/23 - SS Lathan RansomrSr/2025, Ohio State, 6-0, 203 (DS#3 SS) + More +

  Lathan Ransom was one of Ohio State football's more inspiring stories on the 2022 defense. He will now be expected to lead the 2023 defense as one of its proven veterans. Ransom's father, Nathan, confirmed to the Columbus Dispatch that his son will be back with the Buckeyes for a fourth season this fall. Monday is the deadline for third-year players to enter April's NFL Draft. Ransom had blossomed into a potential draft prospect this season while playing the Bandit safety position in Jim Knowles' new defense. He was a semifinalist for the Thorpe Award, given annually to the nation's top defensive back. That was quite a climb from where Ransom's 2021 season ended.

His ability to contribute at the start of last season was still in doubt as preseason camp began. Ransom suffered a compound leg fracture while covering a kickoff against Utah in the Rose Bowl last Jan. 1. The injury required surgery, and Ransom remained sidelined in the spring as new defensive coordinator Jim Knowles evaluated talent and installed his system. By preseason camp, however, Ransom had returned to practice. On opening night against Notre Dame, he took over at Bandit safety on the second play of the game. He went on to start nine of the 12 games in which he played, including the final eight of the season. Ransom finished third in tackles with 74, along with 1.5 sacks, one interception, three pass breakups and two blocked punts. - Cleveland Plain Dealer

  Ohio State will have at least one returning starting safety for next fall. Lathan Ransom, who started nine games as the strong safety this past season, is returning to school, putting off entering the NFL draft after being eligible for the first time. His father, Nathan, confirmed his return in a text message with The Dispatch on Monday, the deadline for underclassmen to file paperwork for early entry into the draft.

Ransom overcame a broken leg to break out as a redshirt sophomore, a gruesome injury suffered while covering a kickoff in last year's Rose Bowl win over Utah, and stepped up as one of the most productive players on an improved defense under new coordinator Jim Knowles. He finished with 74 tackles, the third-most among the Buckeyes' defenders behind only run-stuffing linebackers Tommy Eichenberg and Steele Chambers, and was a semifinalist for the Jim Thorpe Award as the nation's top defensive back. - The Columbus Dispatch

  Ohio State football's new safety driven defense under Jim Knowles should have a key contributor available to start the season. Ryan Day said Wednesday that Lathan Ransom should have a mostly full preseason and is expected to be available to start the season. Day said Ransom, who broke his left leg in the Rose Bowl, may not participate in early team drills but is on schedule to play for the Sept. 3 season opener against Notre Dame.

Ransom suffered a broken left leg while covering a kickoff return in the second quarter of the Rose Bowl against Utah last Jan. 1. He underwent surgery two days later and missed all of spring practice. At the time of the injury. Day compared it to the broken leg suffered by safety Josh Proctor during the Sept. 11 loss to Oregon. Proctor was able to return for part of spring practice, but was a limited participant. Ransom totaled 38 tackles with five pass breakups and one sack as a redshirt freshman. He was the first cover safety into the Rose Bowl with usual starter Marcus Williamson unavailable. - Columbus Dispatch
