Lathan Ransom injury update: Ohio State DB’s status vs. Nebraska
Ohio State safety Lathan Ransom will not play in Saturday’s game against Nebraska as he recovers from an undisclosed injury, according to ESPN’s Pete Thamel.
There was hope that Ransom would be able to use the Buckeyes’ idle weekend to rehab the ailment and make a return, but that plan didn’t pan out and he’ll miss today’s game.
Ohio State has designated Ransom as day-to-day with the injury, so it doesn’t appear the program is too concerned with his situation going forward in the short term.
Ransom has been a principal contributor in Ohio State’s pass defense this season, allowing just under 8 yards per reception and a single touchdown, according to Pro Football Focus figures.
His 4.5 tackles for loss are tied with safety Caleb Downs for the most on the team, and he has 2 forced fumbles, including one that resulted in a touchdown in the opener against Akron.
But this isn’t the first injury Ransom has dealt with in his Ohio State career.
The defensive back broke his leg on a special teams play during the Rose Bowl that concluded the 2021 season and broke his thumb during the 2022 campaign.
And he missed the last 5 games of last season with a Lisfranc tear in his foot.
Ohio State head coach Ryan Day said that Malik Hartford and Jaylen McClain would get more reps in the defensive backfield in the event that Ransom couldn’t play.
No. 4 Ohio State (5-1, 2-1 Big Ten) hosts Nebraska at 12 p.m. Eastern on Saturday.

LINCOLN, Neb. (WOWT) – Medical experts at the Lincoln Regional Center have determined a doctor arrested for two different cases involving minors is now competent to stand trial.
Dr. Travis Tierney, 56, was taken into custody by a fugitive team at the airport last May. He is accused of sneaking into a West Omaha home to have sex with a boy between the ages of 12 and 15.
Investigators allege Tierney did this three weekends in a row in April 2024.
Last summer, Tierney, a former Nebraska City neurosurgeon, was wanted for allegedly swapping nude photos with a 16-year-old boy in Sarpy County. He was out on bond and not supposed to leave the county when investigators realized he was in Arizona.
State psychiatrists have now determined he is competent to stand trial in both cases.
Tierney is currently in custody at the Sarpy County Jail on a $5 million bond.
