LB Steele Chambers To Return To Ohio State Rather Than Enter 2023 NFL Draft

Ohio State redshirt junior linebacker Steele Chambers informed reporters gathered on the Woody Hayes Athletic Middle on Wednesday morning that he’ll delay the NFL Draft and return one other season in 2023.

“I simply needed three years below my belt at linebacker,” Chambers stated. “I really feel like I’ve progressed in simply my data of the sport, however I feel there’s simply much more that I must be taught.”

Chambers is second on the crew this season with 69 tackles, six tackles for loss, three cross break ups, 1.5 sacks, one interception and one fumble restoration, which he returned for a landing on the ultimate play of the win at Maryland.

A former four-star working again from Roswell (Ga.) Blessed Trinity Catholic, Chambers switched to linebacker in 2021. The transfer had paid off, as he was not too long ago named honorable point out All-Large Ten by the convention’s coaches and media.

“I at all times thought I used to be going to return again for a fifth yr, particularly after the place change,” Chambers stated. “That’s at all times simply been my first choice, and I feel after this yr, that’s what I’m going to stay with.”

Chambers is the second underclassmen to disclose his plans for subsequent season, as redshirt junior security Ronnie Hickman plans to enter the draft. Others like redshirt junior linebacker Tommy Eichenberg haven’t decided on their future, in the meantime.

“I haven’t considered it but,” Eichenberg stated throughout his media availability on Wednesday morning. “(I’m) simply specializing in these two video games that we’ve bought arising.”

The deadline for underclassmen to declare for the 2023 NFL Draft is Jan. 16, which provides Eichenberg, junior offensive deal with Paris Johnson and others a bit of a couple of month to determine in the event that they’ll depart this system or return subsequent fall.
