Ryan Day on Chip Trayanum returning kicks: “We‘re hoping to get the ball in his hands and see what he can do.” Trayanum was Ohio State’s kickoff returner against Arkansas State but did not get to actually return any kicks.

Ryan Day on Chip Trayanum playing running back this past week: "We lost TC (Caffey) for the year, so he won't be available. It's a long-term issue." Day says Trayanum approached the staff and said he'd be willing to move to running back.

With Williams injury.........Chip needs to move full time to running back...........

 

Ryan Day on Chip Trayanum at RB: "He's a running back full-time as of now. He's learned the offense, so he was ready to go Saturday if we needed him."

Ryan Day said Ohio State has not yet decided whether Chip Trayanum will remain at running back full-time or move back to linebacker next season.

 

Without a running back signee in the 2023 recruiting class, Ohio State will sit down with Chip Trayanum after the season to decide whether or not he'll remain a full-time RB. https://t.co/rOMqHdrCDI
