• Since he arrived on campus in early February, Igbinosun said he’s “felt very comfortable” being with the Buckeyes. He also said Ohio State’s players have welcomed him into The Brotherhood with open arms, which he has appreciated. “Ohio State has been very easy. It feels like home.”
• As a transfer, Igbinosun understands that he has to work harder to carve a role for himself at Ohio State. Still, he believes his play will “speak for itself” as he proves to be a ball-hawk cornerback that feeds off physicality and getting his hands on the football.”
• Igbinosun said his first year at Ole Miss has prepared him for what competition and a fight for playing time will look like at Ohio State. “Coming in as a freshman last year (with the Rebels) was the hardest thing I’ve done in my entire life, so moving forward, I know nothing else will be as hard.”
• Igbinosun said Ole Miss defensive coordinator Chris Partridge leaving the program after the 2022 season led him to the transfer portal after his freshman year. “I felt like that was an opportunity to explore other options.”
• Igbinosun’s first option for where to transfer was Ohio State because he’s always wanted to play for the Buckeyes: “Ohio State was the place I’ve always wanted to be since I was a little boy… deep down, I knew I wanted to be at Ohio State from the jump.”
